Most of these songs are great, especially 'Summer Son' by Texas
'You Little Thief' by Feargal is a good track, but IMO not as good as 'A Good Heart'
'Crazy' by Icehouse and 'The Promise' by When in Rome' are two of myt all-time favourite songs ever 8)
'Suburbia' is my favourite 80's PSB track
'Forbidden Colours' is IMO Sylvian's best song ever, both solo and with Japan
'Enola Gay' is definately one of OMD's best songs. It's so catchy
I have 'Still Loving You' by the Scorps on 45 and I love it
'Motorcycle Emptiness' is a great MSP song. Not one I'd place among their best, but it is still a great track 8)
So Long by Fischer Z .. a great little track that never became a big hit. I still love it 8)
She Sells Sanctuary by The Cult is a fabulous track. It never made it into the US charts, but it was a massive seller over here
'Wonderful Life' by Black ... next to China Crisis' Wishful Thinking. it's one of the greatest ballads of the 80's, and even maybe of all time. I love it. I'm not too crazy about the recent Tina Cousins version of it. Only Colin Vearncombe (aka Black) can sing it good
A Girl Like You is a great Edwyn Collins song. Easily his best solo, but I still loved 'Rip it Up' the best

The few I know
48. Wonderwall - Oasis
4/5... fantastic song, but good GOD it's getting too popular with the EMO kids on their blogs.. aye.
47. Last stop: this town - Eels
2/5... (E) sometimes has a tendency to really bug me with some of his musical tendencies, this is just one of those songs.
46. Creep - Radiohead
5/5... this is one of my all-time favorite songs.
11. Natural blues - Moby
3/5... I'd put this at a 4, but I really don't like his voice on this song.
10. Little 15 - Depeche Mode
3/5... I checked this out on your recommendation, actually.. good song, but it pales in comparison to some other Depeche Mode.
