#12 of VJ Samsonite's Top 100 80's Dance Hits Countdown: 'I Ran (So Far Away)' by A Flock Of Seagulls (1982)

Welcome back to VJ Samsonite's Top 100 80s Dance Hit Countdown! Today we present you with #12, which goes to the British Grammy Award-winning new-wave band A Flock Of Seagulls and their most successful single I Ran (So Far Away). A Flock Of Seagulls began in 1979 out of  Liverpool, England and was formed by brothers Michael "Mike" Score (keyboards, vocals) and Alister "Ali" James Score (drums), with Frank Maudsley (bass) and Paul Reynolds (guitar). I Ran (So Far Away) was released in 1982 on their A Flock of Seagulls album where it would reach #1 on the Australian ARIA Singles Chart,
and #9 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 chart. This song is one of the songs that really defined 80s music in my own mind and that is partly why I put it so high at the top of the list, that. the beat, and the of course the fully-sick hairstyles! Stay tuned for the rest of the countdown, we are nearing the top 10!
