And where is Killing Joke??

Chop Chop/Good Samaritan
Empire Song/Brilliant
Birds Of A Feather/Flock The B-Side

Felt:

Does Level 42 make the grade? If so, then consider:

The Chinese Way/88 (Live)
Are You Hearing (What I Hear?)/The Return Of The Handsome Rugged Man
Weave Your Spell/Love Games (Live)

Hi Rob, Thanks for your suggestions!
I've updated the list and added the most of the songs except "Weave Your Spell" bu Level 42 and "Colourless Dream" because they were released in 1981.
Now you can add your top 10. Thanks!

I was seven years old. Hard to believe I still listen to the same music.
