80s song that are far greater than Thriller but never mentioned

[BlodwynPig]

Whatever their merit - I'm not looking for well known pop songs that I saw on top of the pops or the chart show back in the day...

obscurer the better - I will personally rate those, but not fucking Buffalo Stance which is tepid

[Phil_A]

Robert Hazard - "Escalator Of Life". Solid gold banger.

Blodwyn Pig can airily dismiss these tunes with a wave of his trotter as if he's the Nero of the 1980s if he wants. 'The Belle Of St. Mark' by Sheila E is a stone cold banger.

Has anyone mentioned this lot?
Catchy title

Absolutely loving smooth 80s groove

The System - Don't Disturb This Groove

and here's where I heard it first - the vaporwave interpretation

Both absolutely brilliant - but impossible to listen back to back because of the tempo change. i.e. each version stands on its own, different merits
