In a recent attempt to provide my uncle with 80’s records, ipso facto that our musical passion can survive, I kindly ask upon the great minds here to aid me in recommending 80’s bands/solo acts, songs, or albums that were either mega hits back in the day, unnoticed beauties, and/or source materials that also may have been heavily sampled/ structured from. Similar to the ongoing jazz thread, but with a focus on 80’s synth/punk/new-wave. Any recommendations are kindly appreciated!
