What's your favourite song of 1983? (Not Goldstone Rap)

[Mr Bridger]

Choon!

 

[El Presidente]

 

[Ernest]

Choon!

Unlike all the pretentious POSERS putting up songs to show how achingly right on and trendy they are , I prefer a good old disco BANGER that we were dancing to throughout the summer of 83

 

[Merdalfthewizard]

reminds me of visits to Covent Garden, the dancing that is (tho I dare say the 'white lines' were probably in evidence there as well)

 

[Mr Bridger]

Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na,
Brighton going up
Going up
Brighton going up…

Get over yourself, you fool. Most of us are sticking up songs that appeared on TOTP and in Smash Hits.

Decided to continue not working too hard after hearing this DHSS tribute.

There have been a lot of awesome tunes on this thread but have to say Blue Monday was a game changer for me,

I was a Rock Fan & despised Dance Music although I was comfortable with German electronica such as Neu!, Kraftwerk and the inevitable Tangerine Dream.

New Order completely blew me away, they mixed rock/electronica/dance and they were local boys (at the time) as well.

EDIT: Sorry Gillian - they weren't just boys of course!

[Dr. Notthenineo'clocknews]

Top work, first song that came into my head was Uncertain Smile but that was probably 82

 

[Rambo]

The first ever Now album was released in 1983, what are we on now?

 

[Yes Chef]

One of the greatest musical years of all time.

Beat me to it.
I LOVE these threads on NSC
