Anything and everything by the Alarm. The most underappreciated band of the '80s.

"Forever Young" by Alphaville
"World of Lust and Crime" by Peter Schilling
"Under the Milky Way" by the Church
"Mary's Prayer" by someone I can't recall just now
"Mexican Radio" by Wall of Voodoo (I think)
"When the Lights Go Down" by Naked Eyes

When you realize you graduated from high school 23 years ago, it's sort of depressing...
