80s/Electronica Your Top 1 80's song

[ookii]

I got you bro.

I saw her band get carouseled off stage just 20 secs before Voices Carry finished. The band was already flipped to the backstage area while she's singing ' he said shut up!' Lol

I discover (only via a random youtube comment, of course) that Rick Derringer died a few days ago.

I imagine he's probably best known nowadays for composing the US national anthem in the 80s... but we all know that song...

and 'All American Boy' is a super great album but it's from the 1970s (which does raise the question: if it was released before 01 Jan 1980 is it actually truly music anyway?)

But the other record I associate with him which certainly is very 1980s (and not so well known) is a bit of an oddity he made with Carmine Appice as 'DNA' ('Derringer N Appice') - I'm not sure what the brief for the album was (instrumental(ish) party rock?) or the goal - I guess 'two bros just having some fun' - I think they managed to achieve that...

I've been on a bit of a synthpop/darkwave kick lately.
