You are wonderful! LOL

Now I can tell to my friends here in Milano that a friend of mine, a Canadian expert of prog he likes I Gufi!

Anyway, this is my definitive choice:

Remember that I expressed my love for the Monkees before Micky and Tcat!
Yes, you did!  Sorry I didn't comment, there was such a slough of posts for a while there.  Heart  And I see I will have to go and look again at your final selection.  Will check in the (my) am, as I my ears are required elsewhere for right now.

Tomorrow I plan to really get down to listening {EDIT, forgot, going to be out and busy most of the day tomorrow}. By the way, instead of the soundtrack tracks idea for my contribution to the series, I might like to do a melancholic one called "Tears For Ears".

I think there are few women in this poll ... yet there have been many nice songs to make us feel guilty in the eighties. 

Micky, my friend, who is Madonna compared to these high-class artists?Big smile

Samantha Fox: Touch Me



Bananarama: Venus



Guesch Patti: Etienne



Sabrina: Boys

Samntha Fox\ Touch Me reminbed me of this:



I like Divinyls a lot, especially for the 1985 What a Life! album.

I thought about listing this before, but then I thought, no, this is just a good song.

While unpacking, I found a presskit photo of the synthwave band I managed back in the 80's LOL They were really good though...But you can see why Kim Fowley called me about them.

  So my show that I was attending ended a little early and I decided to watch/listen and expound upon this final selection.  CCCP Fedeli alla Linea - TOMORROW (con Amanda Lear) made me think of Penelope Spheeris’ film, The Decline of Western Civilization, from a few years earlier.  There’s a fascinating visual with punk-esque presentation, this was less novelty to me than your other selections.  Can't say I like the monotone vocals, but they fit the presentation.  And this isn't necessarily about liking something.  

Waiting for final choices to end up on the tallyboard and will cast my votes then, I think there have been a couple newer decisions and maybe still waiting for a piece to two to be officially in the race.

The one I remember from that album is this one.

Lewian – These are all songs that I unfortunately don’t have any story for as it is the first time I’ve heard them.  RAH Band was interesting and fresh to me, Subway to Sally was my favorite out of the three and I would have no problem calling it a personal favorite without embarrassment, however, the vibe of the Karat track is very pop and has the sound of something I would be afraid of admitting to others that I cared for it in any way, so it has the vote for the embarrassing track in these 3 tracks.

 


Very nice detailed discussion of lots of things; unfortunately for time reasons I won't be able to do anything like that!
In fact yes, the Rah Band has all the elements of cheesy pop but I was spellbound by it when I heard it for the first time, as was my then girlfriend who heard it independently of me in the same week (and who otherwise has a pretty good taste, too). 
Agree with Subway to Sally, not going into the lyrics this is just a fine song by a fine band.
I also thought that Karat may be considered the most embarrassing of the bunch, and actually I didn't even admit to myself that I like it until many years after I had heard it for the first time. Maybe a bit unusual to not like such a thing on a whim of the moment but rather getting into it after having heard it hundreds of times (it's a proper core item of (Eastern) German culture). I don't think such a thing happened to me with any other song of the Schlager genre.
I'd almost have nominated it, but then decided, maybe give people some English language stuff this time.

PS @ mathman: Very good and helpful job here! Thumbs Up

I have a top 5 or 7 if you go with that format. Go for it. Videos would be a must with Weird Al.

That would be awesome. I wish he would parody a popular prog song.

I've voted for two favourites already: Madonna and A-ha. I haven't decided who my third favourite is going to be yet though, but I'm guessing I can't vote for my own choice of song. Smile
