    (You should get the album Youthquake. All the songs on it are great.)
    Peter Gabriel - Shock the Monkey
    Phil Collins - Don't Lose My Number
    Phil Collins - Sussudio
    REM - It's The End Of The World As We Know It
    REM - Orange Crush
    (Yes.)

    You should also look into the following bands:

    Depeche Mode
    The Culture Club
    Genesis
    The Smiths
    The Cure
    Pat Benetar
    Cyndi Lauper
    Thompson Twins
    The color of this signature is really blue. If you see otherwise, please adjust your monitor settings.

    No Doubt did it on MTV&#39;s 1999/2000 New Years Eve Show. The original was from REM&#39;s Eponymous, which was released in 1988. Many consider it to be an anthem which summed up the &#39;80s. Another good one is...

    Modern English - I Melt With You
