The non-commercial 80s are still packed with loads of lost or forgotten great songs to (re)discover. Here you'll find ten of them on a weekly basis, taken from the 1978-1989 period. Post-punk, pre-indie pop, new wave, synthpop, punk-pop... No matter the genre if the song is great, and the 80s were full of them. No voice, just songs.
