Have you heard Tears for Fears' new album? It's pretty good.

I always thought the sond was creepy, until I had kids and the idea of being there for them changed the meaning for me. Also, the "I'll be missing you" remix hit around the time I was mourning the loss of my brother, and I still can't hear either version without tears.

The Sun Always Shines On TV by Ah-Ha. Not well known, but it's a great tune from an even better album.

Never gonna give you up - Rick Astley. By far the song that still holds the most relevant in today's era.

It's a song so catchy! most people probably don't listen to the lyrics, But they should! because it's not just about the pleasures of conformity, and the importance of trends, it's also a personal statement about the band itself.
