We've broken free from the 1970s to roam freely though the decades so future shows will also include tracks from the 80s and 90s as well as the 60s, and maybe even earlier... This week, it's a 1980 Floor Show with a fabulous selection of tracks all released in that landmark year of 1980. Love Will Tear Us Apart by Joy Division, The Affectionate Punch by The Associates, Philadelphia by Magazine, Ace Of Spades by Motorhead, Back In Black by AC/DC, A Forest by The Cure, Christine by Siouxsie & The Banshees, In The Flat Field by Bauhaus, Street 66 by Linton Kwesi Johnson, That's The Joint by The Funky Four + 1, Give Me Back My Man by The B-52s and The Great Curve by Talking Heads.
