Neither a 60s or 90s set so far this week so it could go either way.

'60s would seal the deal of "we're back to the Morey tradition of '60s Fridays", Looks like I've got yet another 10:00 meeting, so... have fun.

I'm assuming Falco - weird in that I just posted on FB that the After The Fire version is in my humble opinion, the quinessential 80's song.

Yup.  Falco is the guy, and German is the language, mostly.

I'll give an HM to the Alan Parsons Project for the extremely Moody Bluesy "Eye in the Sky".

Someone was taking notes!

BOS to the unimpeachable "Hold Me."

What the heck is this British rappy thingy?

ETA: It appears to be Captain Sensible singing "Wot".  How odd.

BOS2 to those whipper snappers.  WOS to WOT - a novelty that went on way too long.

Just arrived -- and of COURSE I'm BOSing "Wot" for rarity alone, my Captain.  Sorry I missed Falco. BTW, what makes ATF's version "quintessential"? The fact that it's an inferior and unnecessary remake? That makes a lot of movies quntessential these days, then.

That's a tough one to explain (and I'd disagree with the 'crappy' assessment, although for sure the Falco original(s) were better). The general feel of the tune suggests it could only have been successful during that decade (and the early-to-mid part at that). No way the song goes top five in say 1972 or 2004.

Sunday suggested "Don't You Want Me", which is interesting because I think of The Human League as being the quinessential 80's act (even if they did have a couple of minor 90's hits).
