Today's hip tunes. New music that isn't Classic Rock or Jazz!

was looking for "new romantic" mostly... new additions

it's been so long that i'd forgotten the name of the genre i'm most interested in (new romantic). after i thought of a couple of new additions and heard a couple more oldies on the radio, i came up with these classic songs. a few of them were in the back of my mind (esp. don't dream it's over) but i just couldn't think of them. then i found a 7 disc rhino records 80s compilation that had many of the great new romantic songs.

for anyone interested in modern pop (with a couple of oldies):
leave in silence: depeche mode
never my love: the association***
afternoon delight: the starland vocal band
real love: mary j. blige***
how soon is now: the smiths
life in a northern town: dream academy
shake you down: gregory abbot***
face to face: siouxsie sioux and the banshees
i'm not in love: 10cc***
lovefool: the cardigans***
take on me: a-ha
the look of love (part 1): A.B.C.
da da da: trio***
brass in pocket: the pretenders
come on eileen: dexy's midnight runners
sweet dreams (are made of this): the eurythmics***
always something there to remind me: naked eyes*******
too shy: kajagoogoo***
don't you (forget about me): simple minds
don't dream it's over: crowded house*******
don't worry be happy: bobby mc farren

and i meant "close to me" by the cure but named a line from the song that was the name of the album it was on by mistake

now i'm off to check out everyone elses recommendations so far. thanks again
