A number of the tracks (songs) from Dexy's Midnight Runners have always appealed to me, but none as much as The Teams That Meet In Caffs.
Yes, instrumentals weren't released as singles in the 80s, but this one (which I first heard on a 33" album - oh, legendary vinyl of blessed memory - LP - that my my brother owned) blew my mind; I loved it then, and I love it now.

1982 ?? - another cool track that year - Stand or Fall - Fixx
love it 💕
and there is always this - to add on another fine track by Peter Gabriel
A swift detour into the sort of agonising 60s confessional (in minor keys; when my mother funded guitar lessons for me - oh, quite some time ago, a time when I was a teenager, she - who had studied music herself - was somewhat surprised at what she pointed out was my peculiar preference for minor keys; initially, I didn't even know what she was talking about) song that I love (timeless, awesome, haunting) - Where Do You Go To My Lovely - by Peter Starstedt, followed by a simply wonderful song from the 1990s by Youssou N'Dour & Neneh Cherry - "7 Seconds".

And a song I adored then, the simply fantastic and wonderfully complex music, the louche and somewhat decadent setting, that outstanding video shot in black and white, absolutely everything - Vienna - by Ultravox, and one that I still adore.
Timeless.
Brilliant.
Haunting.
Classic.
