Not really familiar with The Ocean Blue or Echo & The Bunnymen, but the other three are real blasts from the 80s for me :)

I'm an old metal head but I love this song. It's a lot of fun!

And 👍to The Fixx. Definitely gives me an 80s flashback. Got to see them live years later around 2007, at a 80s retro show. Cy Curnin is just a great, great singer.
