Hello,

I'll be going back to my countdown of the Top 106 80's musicians soon, up next is #82. No hints and I'm not going to give it away.

I haven't done one of these in awhile, this is the best I could find for posting this video. This is Jack Antonoff's fictional band Baby Goya and the Nuclear Winters. The name of the song is "Dance Rascal Dance:

I haven't had the chance to see this and I don't know that I ever will. However that doesn't prevent me from enjoying the great music from this musical. From the "Hamilton" Broadway soundtrack, this is "The World Was Wide Enough":

Walter Egan's "Magnet and Steel":

Rage Against The Machine's "Street Fighting Man":

Andy Caldwell, featuring Angela McCluskey, "We Are The Future":

Jordin Sparks' "Battlefield":

My childhood in song: Mark Wills' "Nineteen Somethin":

I discovered this song from picking up the latest edition of Classic Rock magazine, the one with Axl on the cover. This song and a lot of other good songs are on the accompanying CD. Big Boy Bloater and the Limits'  "Robot Girlfriend":

One of Erasure's lesser known, but better, songs. Erasure's "Phantom Bride":

Slash, featuring Adam Levine, "Gotten" (good song although the song title irritates my inner grammar nazi):



Sade's "Soldier Of Love":



I read an interview with her in a recent Rolling Stone and they were asking her about "New Americana" which is a perfectly decent song. However Halsey has several songs that are better on that CD, here are a couple.
"Colors":



"Hurricane":



Up next a couple of classics back from the New Wave era, this first song is in heavy rotation on my iPod. Heaven 17's (We Don't Need) This Fascist Groove Thing":



Siouxsie and the Banshees' "Peek A Boo":



Whatever happened to that dude that originally sang this song, not a big surprise he was a one hit wonder. Well that was one more hit than I had. Mayday Parade's "Somebody That I Used To Know":
