Pacific state....memories of caskies come flooding back 

TEMP-TAY-SHUN!

Trying to type it as its sung in the song.

The Specials

Hard one this. Although Pacific State was released in the very late 80's to me feels like it should be an early 90's track, so going to rule that out even though its my favourite.

Ghost Town carries a lot of meaning and very poignant of the time. Temptation is just pure 80's pop classic. Only You is good, but depresses me too much.

So my winner is Heaven 17 - Temptation!

808 State Pacific state brings back memories of Slam in the park 1990
Although the air horns remind me of the vultures flatulence
