Play Sugarcubes as well because i'm sure Bjork is quite popular in Japan. "Birthday" is the classic but you may want to listen to the remix album that One Little Indian released for a more up-tempo Sugarcubes (although tbh most of the remixes are pish).

Alternatively, put on DJ Yoda's 'How To Cut & Paste 80s Edition' and retire to the bar...

Jane, Dog, fantastic stuff. Actually I've been after this tune for ages but never know what it was called. Can't believe this was '80s... If anyone likes electro out there and hasn't heard it, make haste.

Difficult only choosing two, but I would suggest the following:
Soft Cell - A man could get lost
Pet Shop Boys - Left to my own devices
Nice uptempo tracks that don't sound to dated either
In the 80's people where very much obsessed with the 60's and everybody hated the 70's. In the 90's everybody worshipped the 70's and ridiculed the 80's. In this decade everybody's into the 80's again though. Thus follows that anyone wanting to stay ahead of the pack should open a 90's themed club

What a great thread!
My immediate thoughts are:-
Einstein a go go - Landscape
Rockiit - Herbie Hancock (thanks Dolly for that reminder)
Are Friends Electric - Tubeway Army
19 - Paul Hardcastle, the impact that this track had when it came out is indescribable.
Hyperactive - Thomas Dolby
Buffalo Girls - Malcolm McClaren
The more I think about it & read this thread, the more I feel a summer 80's Mukestock coming on!!!!

Anything from the Human League album, Dare (even Don't You Want Me, though its cheese). Love Action or Sound Of The Crowd is ace.
