80's Euro and Italo favorites

Invisible_man · December 26, 2016

Anyone have favorites? I live in US and it's pretty obscure here, but ironically it's some of the catchiest tunes I ever heard, great to dance to. i discovered a plethora of artists on Youtube.... many in English, but some also in Italian from festivals like San Remo, Festivalbar and shows like Eurotops etc..

maybe a guilty pleasure, but a great pleasure of mine, so here are some of my favorites... start with Italy, then Germany... later maybe i will think of French Chanson and some Scandi stuff too...

Hot Shot is German early 80's Europop somewhere along the lines of Bucks Fizz or ABBA in style. Pretty obscure I think, but I love choruses of their songs, and their clips on YT are amusing to watch... another guilty pleasure!

Hot Shot - Fire in the Night (1981)

Hot Shot - I Can't Stand It No More (1983)

Hot Shot - Love is to Love a Lover's Love (1982)

I wish Max Him made another album. That album is very good.

Growing up in the 90's I was a huge fan of Eurodance
