    Great list, Dubious, but there is one thing I want to correct- The Breeder's "Cannonball" is from 1992-3...not in the '80's, though it rules.

    Here's some lesser known 80's hits to chew on:

    "Turning Japanese" by the Vapors

    "Ah! Leah!" by Donnie Iris

    "Shake it up" by the Cars

    "Tainted Love" by Soft Cell

    "Major Tom (Coming Home)" by Peter Schilling

    "Der Kommisar" by After the Fire

    "Suddenly last Summer" by the Motels

    "They Don't Know" by Tracey Ullman (I love that song!)

    Mr. Meowgi's list is the only one with songs that are actually obscure.

    Of course on the filpside, if one solely went by 106.9's playlist, Michael Jackson would be an obscure artist.

    Fine Young Cannibals - Don't Look Back
    Walking in L.A. - Missing Persons
    Dancing in Heaven (Orbital Be-bop) - Q-Feel
    Was (Not Was) - Walk the Dinosaur
    Belle Stars - Iko Iko
    Murray Head - One Night in Bangkok
    The Fixx - Red Skies at Night
    The Waitresses - I Know What Boys Like
    Tears For Fears - Sowing the Seeds of Love


    really obscure ones:
    Bronski Beat - Smalltown Boy
    Midnight Oil - The Dead Heart
    Pet Shop Boys - Suburbia
    Big Audio Dynamite - Mr. Walker Said
    Big Audio Dynamite - Rock Non Stop
