Apologies if this is a whoosh moment and I just don't get the purpose of this thread. But people have had either 39 years or their entire life to discover music they like from 1984, 2023 is currently in May.

George Michael was great. Still remains an underrated songwriter for me.

 

Some of Wham's stuff was pop but some was political too. He changed styles throughout his career, his solo stuff being so different to Wham, just like any good songwriter.

Just interested why you picked that year out, compared to all other years.

Saw it on YouTube. That’s it. No other reason.

Absolutely love New Wave and Synth Pop. The 80's were an amazing decade.

I guess Synth Pop encompasses quite a large spectrum of artists but my favorite from 1984 would have to be this absolute classic:

A brave and talented guy considering he was a gay man living in a poor area of Glasgow with all the threats and prejudice that would have been a continuous part of his life there. The lyrics tell the story. "Run away" etc.
