Love this song and this album. Gotta have in your collection.

'Shell Shock' by New Order

Album: Substance
Released: 1987
Theme: magical 80's

The song was actually released as a single in 1986 and appeared in the movie Pretty in Pink. And although I don't have the factual confirmation, it seems was the most commercially successful in the States.

Substance is a 2 disc compilation album which I would rank as an absolute must have.

'Beatbox' by The Sounds

Album: Crossing The Rubicon
Released: 2009
Theme: alternative rock

This was originally my favorite tune on the album, but I have grown to like others which have been posted on SoDA. It's still good, though.

Cool video and cool sound.

'In a Big Country' by Big Country

Album: The Crossing
Released: 1983
Theme: quintessential 80's

OK, you got it, the big one by this band. I still love to hear the innocent rhythm of the song.

'Hold Me Now' by Thompson Twins

Album: Into the Gap
Released: 1984
Theme: quintessential 80's

I think this is a good sultry Sunday post. Relax with this one from a truly quintessential 80's band from Britain.

Enjoy the video on YouTube.
