If I close my eyes and listen to it on headphones, I'd probably still prefer it to most of whatever is on the Billboard Top 100 these days.

I really liked New Wave music in the 1980's, but not all of it.
Behold the dulcet tones of Klaus Nomi.
In Southern parlance, "that boy just ain't right."
He's like a male Kate Bush. Except Kate Bush was pretty awesome sounding. What a wild woman.

Klaus Nomi was weird for sure but he had a great voice. Listen to this:
“Whoever fights monsters should see to it that in the process he does not become a monster. And if you gaze long enough into an abyss, the abyss will gaze back into you.”

One thing I find funny is that modern K-Pop is basically 1980's "popcorn music."

Kate Bush still is one of my favorites of all time. I always liked this version of Running Up that Hill with David Gilmour.

Does someone want to see Kate Bush in all her weird early 80's glory? Ask no further

Wow. I am amazed to know that there are other people that know who Kate Bush is. Before today I knew about six people that knew about her. "The Red Shoes" is still one of my favorite albums.

I had no clue who she was until she did that duet with Peter Gabriel "Don't Give Up" in 1986 but I've liked her music ever since then.

Ha, I found it! This is the video they riffed!

Still lurking about
Can't talk about 80's female singer without Pat Benatar.
Song is technically 1979 but yeah, Pat Benatar is such an 80's babe!
Many albums missed my list by only one year.

Pat Benatar was great but my number 1 female 80's vocalist is definitely Annie Lennox.

I'm starting in to some 80's Genesis now (since Eric Johnson is 1990...dammit), feeling overwhelmed.

Same here, then her song "This Woman's Work" in "She's Having a Baby" (1988).
