My pick for 1987 is Pseudo Echo with Funky Town
‘Stimulation’ was the first ’45 I ever owned! And I still have it ❤️
Paul will b happy to hear that… he is still going strong with the absolutely 80’s band… check them out Scott Carne (kids in the kitchen). Brian Mannix (uncanny x-men) Dale Ryder(boom crash opera) David Sterry ( Real Life) and Paul Gray (waa waa nee) just to name a few. 🙂
What a brilliant song it is too.
Stimulation wasn’t 1987 but I would rate it a solid 9 out of 100
Well picked, it was 1986. Thanks for letting me know. 🙂
