    wow

    to do this I'd have to go look at the release dates of my favorites which would take a long time, but I'll just toss off my favs off the top of my head: "Baby's on Fire", Brian Eno. "Tainted Love/Where Did Our Love Go?(Medley)", Soft Cell. "Secret", "So In Love" and "If You Leave", OMD. "Heroes", David Bowie. "State Farm", "I Before E Except After C", Yaz. "Personal Jesus", "World in my Eyes" "It's No Good", Depeche Mode. Almost anything by Erasure
