...I suck

Berlin - that awful Take My Breath Away from Top Gun which I have to turn off within about two measures

Blondie - Atomic and loads of others (Maria is a personal favourite)

Devo - Whip It

Duran Duran - The Reflex was briefly my favourite song when I was seven, Ordinary World was a big comeback hit when I was in high school

A Flock of Seagulls - Wishing

Kajagoogoo - Too Shy (but I prefer Limahl's solo Neverending Story)

New Order - Temptation

Spandau Ballet - Gold

Talk Talk - It's My Life

Tears for Fears - Head Over Heels

I would guess that all are British except Blondie, Devo and Berlin

Graham and Melissa did really well. I was surprised you put "Wishing" for A Flock of Seagulls, Graham, because I've been listening to that a lot lately. And I liked your fake answers Miles.

Wishing is the one I have on a compilation CD called Atomic 80s. Luckily for me, it also has It's My Life by Talk Talk, otherwise I wouldn't have known who they were.
