[TheTaylorsparks]

[dirtyjew1974]

@LucaVercetti thats flock of segulls i ran but they have many great songs, you should check out space age love song by them!

[dirtyjew1974]

number 3 is the cures friday im in love but unless im mistaken thats not an 80s song but a song from the 90s.

[elmasterjon]

AND THE NAMES????????? ASSHOLE

[dirtyjew1974]

@elmasterjon im sure if you have a question as to the name of one of these songs i can answer it but youll have to give me the number of the song.

[bells4her]

All of these are still on heavy rotation on my iPod. You can't teach an old waver new tricks.

[endracismguy]

no2 is my mobile ringtone lol

[lscdan]

I was ready to answer #3 friday I blow my load...soorry they took ya off...

[TheJohnnyphoto]

Friday I'm in Love is 1992. Great selection though.

[Cdntigger1972]

May I also point out that the song "Friday I'm in love" by the Cure came out in 1992 off thier album 'Wish'....sheesh....

[missrampage]

I can hear the music... yay!

[kevinturvy]

Sound of silence

[TDG1967]

Dear WMG, I will NEVER purchase ANYthing that has your name on it again, you liberal douchebags.

[cdmciro]

@TDG1967 o seu burro coloca nome nas musicas

[444Bam]

aw that sux...I was ready too

[sthetx]

WMG and Youtube can kiss my ass.

[PhobiaGuy]

umm sound of silence? no? silence is golden? no? quiet life? no? umm errr oh i give up!

[djruckus]

remove it.. pointless 

[TrueCourse]

Hey! Maybe just run the songs backwards for an extra challenge... then WMG can't delete them then ;) Thanks for trying, though.

[TheNewMusicNetwork]

dont buy any music from the jews at WMG. download it erm you know what I mean, instead.

[4477493]

WMG is youtube's fail!

[hatamot0]

Dear WMG,

I hope every who works for your organization dies from cancer of the eyes. Your pets as well.

Signed,

~ Everyone on youtube.

[KWalsh554]

pretty sure Enjoy the Silence is from the very early 90's too. Like maybe 90 or 91, but don't quote me on that because I'm not sure. It's certainly too late to be considered New Wave though.

[W0W77]

I grew up listening to a lot of 80's new wave stuff, that's all.

[scooter18k]

what was # 12?

[bloodsling]

hate to split hairs,but Enjoy the Silence from the Violator album,although recorded in 1989 wasnt released until 1990..wether or not it qualifies as a bonified 80's track..not sure

[ourvinylcollection]

No...#16 The Alarm...that's probably more likely them.

[WestportRugby3]

#15 - Talk Talk

#16 Aztec Camera?

[compasskumpas1]

Sorry, New Wave / New Romantics died after 1984. Anything beyond this is Pop Music. The scene moved on to Industrial. Eurodisco doesn't count.

[linesonde]

early industrial came before new wave. Throbbing Gristle and Cabaret Voltaire started in the 70s

[timsasa]

really? and what is everything, i mean its only pop , some rock critics say : its electro .... its dark....

its sounds stupid

[lilnip67]

what was the name of track 2? OMG I love that song :}}

[dominique62dw]

Flock Of Seagulls plays every night in the wharf area of Tampa Bay, FLORIDA

[cqdxcq]

tommy2timez ... was looking for same lyrics. Try "I Beg Your Pardon" by Kon Kan ... One of my favorites in late 80s. Canadian group, I believe and got tons of airplay in the Miami dance scene. Great rhythm. Enjoy!

[peanut388]

Oh, thanks for reminding me about "I Beg Your Pardon"... I love that song!

[tommy2timez]

looking for help with a song..i believe its new wave..came out in about 89...i remeber 2 lines from the song.." i cant seem to let you go" and "come on baby share the good times while they last"..its a remake of an older song ..thanks

[teelynnsimon]

"Enjoy the Silence" by Depeche Mode came out in early 1990 and is, therefore, not an 80's song.

[mariflame]

Thanks for the info! Yes, the song came out exactly in 1990. I hope you still enjoyed the quiz 'tho.

[SnakeCIA1]

The song Running #17 is not New Wave. It's freestyle music. Wikipedia even said so.

[peanut388]

Well, it's still a cool music quiz.

[SnakeCIA1]

yeah don't get me wrong its still a great song. New Wave and Synth pop and 80's rock are the best. Today's music with gay jigabo hipity hop sucks. 80's are the best.

[camilabibila]

@teelynnsimon Well any decade starts at year 1 and finish at year 0, soo 80"s starts actyally in 1981 and finish at 1990, soo enjoy the silence IS a 80's song

[888music]

@teelynnsimon

It was recorded between May and December of 1989 but released on February 5, 1990 so it could be classified as an 80s song!

[Kennet1000]

@teelynnsimon

Enjoy The Silence by Depeche Mode was produced in ealy/mid 1989 and came out in ealy 1990! And therfore it is an 80's song!

[TheNewMusicNetwork]

@Kennet1000 sort of. i think some demo single DID come out in 89. i know one did for presonal jesus. 

[JH90029]

#3 is Friday I'm in love by the cure which came out in the 90's!!

[mariflame]

My second Ooops! I remember when the song came out... felt like it was on the 80s to me. Early 90's then. I almost used "Let's go to Bed" instead.

[mariflame]

You are so right! I love that song and now I remember it's by Real Life. I fixed it. Thanks for the info.

[hergalle]

Track 11: Send Me An Angel is not by Erasure. This is an australian band called Real Life and they are a One Hit WInder thanks to this song. I don´t know why everybody thinks that this is an Erasure song -if you look it up in Ares, everyone makes the same mistake-.
