About I Completed 80s Music
In 2016 I started listening to every single UK chart entry from January 1st 1980 to December 31st 1989. This is the story of that journey, the bands, the music and how 80s music unfolded through lots of lovely playlists. If you’re new to 80s music, consider this a great entry point. If you’re here for nostalgia, you’re in for a treat! Wham! Duran Duran, Billy Ocean, Bros, The Smiths - you name it, I have you covered. As midlife crises go, it could be worse!

He had previously tasted major success as the lead singer of the prog pop outfit City Boy, who scored a massive top 10 hit in 1978 with the song 5705. Following the eventual demise of City Boy at the turn of the decade, Mason decided to pivot. He teamed up with guitarist and keyboard player Mark Tibbenham and session drummer Nick Parry in Birmingham to forge a completely different musical path. They wanted something that combined an of its time electronic foundation with a new heavy earnest reliance on the rhythms and backing vocal stylings of 1960s American soul, particularly the Motown sound.
