Thompson Twins - Get That Love

Their first single as a duo, so the nearest they ever got to actually being twins...

The Cure - Hot Hot Hot!!!

Here's Robert Smith on Stars In Their Eyes. "Tonight, Matthew, I'm going to be... Suggs!"

The Buggles - Elstree

I know it's not Video Killed The Radio Star, but they had other songs too! Some bloody good ones at that.

Stump - Charlton Heston

"Thou shalt not bonk thy neighbour's wife!" Ideally this should have been reissued a few months ago when Charlton Heston died, but never mind.

New Model Army - Stupid Questions

Not their biggest hit (amazingly that was as late as 1993) but a cracking record that deserves to be heard more often.

Freur - Doot-Doot

This lot had a symbol for a name a full decade before Prince thought of the idea. Not only that, but they eventually morphed into Underworld of "Born Slippy" fame. And they had synthesiser suits that you could play just by moving your arms... maybe I should stop there.

Depeche Mode - Love In Itself

One of the Mode's forgotten singles from around the time they stopped being twee teenyboppers and started banging bits of metal together.

Uploaded to YouTube by a user called FanOfDepecheMode, whose description of the video is:

Depeche Mode is the best band ever!!!! I love DM!!!! They rules!!!! Fan of depeche Mode forever!!!!!
DEPECHE MODE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Frankie Goes To Hollywood - Watching The Wildlife

Frankie's swansong should have been a much bigger hit but only reached number 28 in 1987.

The Style Council - How She Threw It All Away

Just before the Style Council embraced house music (and really did throw it all away), they released this classy little number, which mysteriously didn't chart.

Space Monkey - Can't Stop Running

A "radio hit" in 1983, surprisingly it did nothing saleswise.

Frazier Chorus - Typical!

From their debut album Sue, before they "went dance". Those Chart Show graphics probably looked quite snazzy at the time!

Danny Wilson - A Girl I Used To Know

A criminally under-rated band, they did so much more than Mary's Prayer (wonderful though that is).

Feargal Sharkey - Listen To Your Father

Madness wrote and played on this first solo release by the former Undertones vocalist, from the days when every video had to be a minature epic!

Scarlet Fantastic - No Memory

A cracking one hit wonder from 1987.

Blancmange - Lose Your Love

Perhaps the catchiest track from their 1985 album Believe You Me, surprisingly it became their least successful single.
