The Jam - Going Underground
Absolutely belting intro and the line 'and the public wants what the public gets' right on the fucking money and still relevant 35 years later.

Re: Best Song of the 80's Tek Towers Cup 1 -Round 1/Game 3
That's a tough round. 3 great songs and Duran Duran, although hungry like a wolf is a decent pop song.
Just picked the one i still listen too the most. Pixies probably my favourite Yank band tbh. That MBV track though is a fucking cracker

Re: Best Song of the 80's Tek Towers Cup 1 -Round 1/Game 3
Would have been The Jam for me.
Not a big fan but I'll go for Duran Duran - like it better than the others and for the 80's factor.
