I was too traumatised to have missed Green Day to comment any further. I actually don't mind them too much to be honest, but they are definitely not good enough for the acolades they have received tonight.

This has to be the most ****e Brits since Samantha Fox and Mick Fleetwood f*cked it up the ****. I was looking forward to seeing Chris Evans present it but he sucked completely, how much better would Jonathan Ross have been? The award-presenters were wooden and inept and most of the performing bands could barely perform; and wtf were 'The Beddingfields' doing? Auditioning for Butlins ffs?

Thread title asks 'What song defines the early 80's to you' NOT 'What sond was released/ a hit in the early 80's'
I loved Video Killed the Radio Star and listened to it repeatedly, in the way only a teenager can, all through the ealry 80's so
to you!</Telboy pedant mode>

for me, china girl/david bowie (with a killer video) with probably new england/kirsty mccoll and either the voice/the thin wall from ultravox or the model/kraftwerk scrapping for the other podium places.
there's a cracking double compilation CD called "alternative eighties" (sony music STVCD141) worth a look - who remembers i'm in love with a german film star/the passions? or living on the ceiling/blancmange for that matter. 22+ years ago ... jeez.

Some great songs mentioned.
For me the unlimate 80's song was 'The Message' by Grandmaster Flash
Still listen to it once in a while... sheesh I feel so old.
Its already been mentioned but Paul Hardcastle '19' is probably a strong 80's nostalga thing, mind you it did seem like it was no1 for most of the 80's !
And nobody has mentioned Star Trecking by The Firm yet..... Hmm time to get my coat I think
