YESSSS I used to listen to Falco all the time as a kid! (And still do hehe). I love that song!! Trans x is amazing too, do you know message on the radio?

I uhhh, got a few underrated/obscure 80s bops for ya.

Out of Control from U2's 1980 debut album Boy slaps, y'all. I know a lot of people are familiar with U2 but I don't see enough appreciation for them these days tbh. I'm prob just biased bc they're my big 'ole fave but yeah. Electric Co, I Will Follow, and Stories for Boys are also some bops from that album.

Strength by The Alarm. (1985)

Military Man from Resurrection Band's 1982 album D.M.Z.

And some later 80s songs that fall more into the alternative genre:

What I am by Eddie Brickell & The New Bohemians (Shooting Rubber Bands At The Stars, 1988).

I Remember Me By The Innocence Mission. (1989). Wonder of Birds is also a really good song from the same album.

Twist in My Sobriety by Tanita Tikaram. (1988).

Added Fake - Another Brick (1985)

I wonder if The Birthday Party is considered obscure? i know nick cave is well known but this project sure isn't. faint heart is a good one by them. the plague, death by drowning, and jennifer's veil are some other tbp faves
