Pick your five for a one-time eighties reunion party : 1984

[mdsupreme]

My list...

12) ROCKET TO YOUR HEART/ MANDATORY LOVE - Lisa (Moby Dick)
29) TWO TRIBES/WAR - Frankie Goes To Hollywood (ZTT/Island)
5) TROMMELTANZ (DIN DAA DAA) - George Kranz (Personal)
39) SET IT OUT - Midway (Personal)
15) LET THE MUSIC PLAY - Shannon (Emergency)

And if allowed, I would add:
1. Madonna's "In to the Groove" (1985) - I heard an incredible House mix of this great record at David Mancuso's Loft way back when, that made this tune unforgettable for me.

2. And my all-time favorite 80's dance record - Bronski Beat's "Small Town Boy" (1984). I am surprised this did not make Billboards Top 50.

Allow me to also add another '85 Madonna classic, Dress You Up. Love this song and the video
