  1. I discovered some great (to me unknown) songs from the seventies and eighties these last couple of weeks. They all give you this sort of 'yay, it's great to be alive, let's go out and have fun'-feeling

    2 4 6 8 Motorway (Tom Robinson Band)
    Don't stop believing (Journey)
    Police on my back (The Clash)
    teenage wasteland ( aka Baba O’Riley) (The Who)
    a New England (Billy Brag)

    Totally different than U2 but nevertheless great songs. I know there's like a zillion songs out there I'd probably love but I simply don't know them.
    What song totally makes your day when you here it unexpectedly on the radio?

    All suggestions are welcome

    Did you get something about my tip (Dire Straits)?
    They`re really great IMO. They were a great band at the medium eighties.
