Genesis – Turn It On Again

Genesis' first hit of the 80s and also their first without Peter Gabriel. And it was good.. very good indeed, with Phil Collins as lead singer. Yes, it's another one of my all time favourites!

UB40 – Food For Thought

Simply brilliant, UB40's debut single Food for Thought. Unbelievable talent shining through and you just knew they were going to be big. I don't really have that feeling listening to new bands these days... It's a pity the leaders started to argue and we...

The Police – So Lonely

The Police's first hit of the 1980s was So Lonely. I first watched it on a BBC programme called Nationwide with Frank Bough and Sue Lawley. I remember thinking, isn't is a bit saucy that they're singing 'I Feel Sue Lawley'?!?

Peter Gabriel – Games Without Frontiers

Another one of my all time favourites, Peter Gabriel had left Genesis and everyone was wondering what he would do next. He made this classic to start with, followed by many more that we'll be featuring later.

The Buggles – The Plastic Age

A great pop song from Trevor Horn's The Buggles, who had just had their classic number 1 hit Video Killed the Radio Star in 1979. Whilst The Plastic Age was the highest The Buggles would chart after that, Horn went on to great things, producing Owner of a L...
