Best "forgotten" song of the 80's

[MicroBob]

Whisper to a Scream is a good nomination actually.

Whole of the Moon by the Waterboys isn't too shabby either.

Under the Milky Way by The Church probably isn't forgotten enough but maybe kinda-sorta qualifies.

Tenderness by General Public is the same...probably not quite forgotten enough.


Save it for Later by The Style Council though is my top selection for this list (for the time being anyway).

Is that enough? Or should I go back into the Ipod for more junk?

1. Hold Me Now - Thompson Twins (i still hear it now & again though) G8 F4
2. True - Spandau Ballet (eh, still semi-popular & sampled many times over) G9 F2
3. Never Let Me Down Again - Depeche Mode (dunno if this song ever got that popular tho) G6, too much DM out there to qualify really tho.
4. Paul Revere - Beasties G10 F7
5. Under Pressure - Queen/Bowie (i really think it's unfair to hold Vanilla Ice against them for this song...) G10 F4

How is "The Promise" forgotten? I heard it on the radio three times in the last week, and I mostly listen to sports talk.

How about "My My My" by Johnny Gill? G4 F5
"Summertime Summertime" by Nocera G? F?

Yeah, the promise woul dpretty much be a G9 F2. I love the song, and most wouldn't know it from the name, but yeah, it gets plays lots now.
