I think it has to be a hip-hop track. So many to choose from. How about:

I Know You Got Soul - Eric B & Rakim

You know, hip-hop hasn't really dated like most other 80s music which sounds very much of its time. Strange, huh?

Other choices:
West End Girls - Pet Shop Boys
Heaven Knows I'm Miserable Now - The Smiths

You're asking me to choose!!! Oh no, my brain will now explode. Well, I like anything by Pink Floyd and Wham and Paul Young and all those "so awful but we love them" one hit wonders and stuff.

I think I would probably choose Soft Cell - Tainted Love and Vienna(that was them wasn't it?), Wham - Freedom, Paul Young - Wherever I lay my hat. Ok that'll do for now, I'll cjange my mind tomorrow.

Oh yeah and I have to say Frankie by Sister Sledge cos that's my little man's song.

First record I ever bought Frankie, was it by sister sledge? I just remember the pink cover! But then anything by Duran Duran or Paul Young's Where ever I lay my hat. What about Bucks Fizz 'Making your mind up', that won Eurovision!
