You have to find a way to put this on it: Mr.T's Rap song "Treat Your Mamma Right" http://www.ifilm.com/ifilmdetail/2667017
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.
Material Issue - Valerie Loves Me The Chameleons - Up the Down Escalator The Glove - Like an Animal Screeching Weasel - Hey Suburbia
some of these are good, some just silly but bring back a lot of memories. The Clash - Rock the Casbah The B-52's - Rock Lobster Elton John - In Neon (not an obscure artist but you don't seem to hear the song much) Thompson Twins - Lies Don Henley - The End of the Innocence 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 oh and wake me up before you go go. songs so bad its good. --> Least heterosexual song ever. "They Don't Know" by Tracey Ullman (I love that song!) --> cool! Didn't think anyone else knew this song.
