I graduated from high school in 1981, so the music of the 1980's (despite how corny it sounds) was truly the soundtrack of my formative years. When I hear these songs, they take me back to a specific moment in my life and although I didn't realize it at the time but it was a simpler time with few cares in the world beyond deciding what I was going to wear when I would go out dancing.
So, once again, here are some my favorite songs from the artists who managed to have only one hit chart on the U.S top-forty charts:
"Cars" - Gary Numan (1980)
"Whip It" - Devo (1980)
"Double Dutch Bus" - Frankie Smith (1981)
"Tainted Love" - Soft Cell (1982)
"Someday Someway" - Marshall Crenshaw (1982)
"Love Plus One" - Haircut 100 (1982)
"Pass The Dutchie" - Musical Youth (1983)
"Too Shy" - Kajagoogoo (1983)
"In A Big Country" - Big Country (1983)
"They Don't Know" - Tracey Ullman (1984)
"Relax" - Frankie Goes To Hollywood (1985)
"Perfect Way" - Scritti Politti (1985)
"Tarzan Boy" - Baltimora (1986)
