(Started April 17, 2021) Part 1 of The Best New Wave, Alternative and Oddball Songs of 1981

Hello,

What were some of the most popular songs of 40 years ago?

In no particular order these are the 51 best New Wave, Alternative or oddball songs of 1981. So many of these songs remind me of the early days of MTV, when they used to be relevant. Not only relevant but they brought a bunch of attention to obscure songs that might have been completely forgotten. Who would have known The Buggles "Video Killed The Radio Star" without MTV?

1) The Human League "Love Action (I Believe In Love)":

2) Kim Carnes "Bette Davis Eyes":

Has anyone ever had a thought wondering what Danny Elfman looked like without a shirt on? I didn't think so, some things just aren't meant to be seen. 3) Oingo Boingo"Only a Lad":

4) Men At Work "Who Can It Be Now":

5) Men At Work "Down Under":

6) Men At Work "Be Good Johnny":

7) The Go-Go's "Our Lips Are Sealed":

8) The Go-Go's "We Got The Beat":

9) The Pretenders "Message of Love":

10) The Pretenders "Talk of The Town":

11) Duran Duran "Girls On Film":

12) Duran Duran "Planet Earth":

13) Kim Wilde "Kids In America":

14) The Tom Tom Club "Genius of Love":

15) Heaven 17 "We Don't Need No Fascist Groove Thing":

16) The Police "Spirits In The Material World":
