I'd like to throw in a vote for the largely forgotten group, Strawberry Switchblade. They were a a Scottish duo who collapsed after their first mainstream success because of Jill Bryson's agoraphobia, she even wrote a song about the battle, Trees and Flowers. Since Yesterday is one of my favourite 80s songs.

Bananarama seemed to be the most successful and had 80s longevity, so them.

The all too overlooked Pandora's Box. When Ellen Foley isn't even the best singer in the band you've got something special.

Wasn't the lead singer of that band also the lead singer of Belly?

And she was part of the Breeders for a short spell. Belly was a band that I thought should have been much bigger. But it seems like their one hit song is forgotten.

I had a huge crush on Belinda Carlisle. Well still do. Both Belinda Carlisle and Kim Cattrall circa 1987 made me *ahem* Woken as a young kid. It's the eyes, man!

I have to say the Pointer Sisters are up there. They had several memorable songs in the 80s.

Obviously I'm leaving out the one that everyone knows Girlschool from, 'coz it's a collab.

Three way tie between Go Gos,Bangles and SHonen Knife. Nice throw-in of Shonen Knife. Wilson Phillips. I'm a sucker for their close harmonies. I love that album "Dedicated", where they sing all their parents' respective works. California Dreaming and Fun, Fun, Fun are my favorites.
