Swimming With Sharks - Careless Love

Apparently this lot are very big in Germany, where they were called "Humpe & Humpe". When the single was released in the UK the band was renamed "Swimming With Sharks", which was also the title of their album. It still wasn't a hit.

Duranduran - Do You Believe In Shame?

A minor hit from that strange late '80s period when the band was a trio and the band's name was all one word.

Cocteau Twins - Pearly Dewdrops Drops

The first chart success for Grangemouth's finest export (except for petrol from the BP refinery)...

The Farmers Boys - Phew Wow

How did such a handsome bunch of guys never manage to have a hit?

Robbie Nevil - Dominoes

Great song, but get a haircut!

The Cross - Heaven For Everyone

This lost '80s classic would probably have remained lost if The Cross's frontman Roger Taylor hadn't got his old mate Freddie Mercury to record a version of the song. The version with Freddie's vocals turned up on The Cross's album Shove It and was later recycled into a Queen single. This is The Cross's single version with Roger Taylor on vocals.

Drum Theatre - Eldorado

Have you got anything a bit more '80s?
