UK 80ies Chartbreakers I LOVE
I usually was more a fan of US driven Music in the 80ies - however there have been some awesome pearls of English Music out there I just re-discovered. Did you know that Dave Stewart (the guy behind Eurythmics) was producing and composing probably the best ever song in UK history together with Barbara Gaskin as vocal girl with It's my Party - I love that one. I remember the times when I tried to record that song on my cassette player when they played it in the radio.
Visage
Think not a lot has to be said about that pioneer project for electronic music - i compare them usually with the German Kraftwerk. They paved the way for an entire music movement including followers such as Depeche Mode. Steve Strange (RIP my friend) was leading them as singer - Midge Ure from Ultravox as the other personality behind the project!
New Order
They got into radio in the 80ies by mistake (or not planned). I remember when they started, people called them Indie - not related to record companies and I was, what the hell are they talking about? - at least hey created a fascinating sound I still love to listen to!
Yazoo
A special band - I bought my first single of them in a Saturn Hansa music market in the city of Bonn (former capital of Germany @shortcut lives there!) back in 1982 - it was a 45" vinyl single in RED color - grad sound, great voice. A combination that perfectly fitted together - Allison Moyet with her fantastic voice and Vince Clarke as mastermind behind - he was a founding member of Depeche Mode which not a lot people are aware of.
Thanks @uwelang for refreshing memories as regards the wonderful musics in 80ies. Those guys songs are just perfect match to nourish soul. I love Dave Stewart big time
Super Auswahl, Mensch habe ich die oft von Kassette gehört :-)
Great selection of songs. Fade to grey is so good!

Boo! I love these guys, but your videos are blocked in the US!
Hi, Uwe!
Really - the US internet is censored - who built this censor wall :-)?
You don't like us??? LOL
Thanks for the mention! I like Visage and New Order and also owned the Yazoo album. Real classics. Your post brought back memories ;-)
Glad to hear this @shortcut - also great you got the notification of your mention, what tool are you using to be informed?
I'm using the beta of an app called steemify.
Interesting - only mobile? I use this browser solution (if I am able to visit it daily) - http://steemistry.com/steemit-mentions-tool/
Yes it's a mobile app with push notifications. I didn't know the steemistry tool yet. Will have a look.

How old school! Love the 80's vibe!
Thank u for sharing! cheers @uwelang!
Fade to Grey is one of my favourite electronic tracks. It still sounds great today, and can be mixed into minimal techno sets really well!
