"Melt With You" would be my choice, but I'll add onto the list:

(so with you with "Come on Eileen," Bethani)

"Tempted"

"Save a Prayer" (not the most famous Duran Duran, but I think the best one)

"Born in the USA"

Oh! Oh! And "In a Big Country." LOVE that song!

This is an open and shut case:


#1. Modern English: I'll Melt With You

Period.. Utterly timeless. Still as fresh 20+ years later. A song I NEVER get tired of hearing.

The rest of a Top 10..

Depeche Mode: EVERYTHING..
The Cure: Nearly EVERYTHING..
Men at Work: Who Can It Be Now?
Fine Young Cannibals: She Drives Me Crazy
Flock of Seagulls: I Ran
Katrina and the Waves: Walking on Sunshine
Midnight Oil: Beds are Burning
The Divnyls: I Touch Myself
Bananarama: Cruel Summer/Venus
