    Trying to burn a good 80's CD. What are some good songs from that era that aren't typicallly heard?

    The only good one I've got right now is Bang a Gong-Power Station.

    Lil help, please.

    Here's a trivia question: Kajagoogoo's lead singer had one other top 40 hit. What was the song?

    hint: it was on a soundtrack.

    Funny thing is one of our client's names is George Michael. I can't tell you how many WHAM jokes we say behind his back.

    If y'all have any good wham songs to mention, let me know!
