OOOOH... 80's music AND harmonica!? pinch me, i must be dreaming.

But seriously, top of the list: Suicide Blonde by INXS. (technically
released in 1990, but listen to it. it's an 80's song). U2 (try the Joshue
Tree album). The Romantics, "What I Like about You". Boy George played some
harmonica (try Karma Chameleon). J. Geils had some 80s hits. Huey Lewis must
have had some harp tunes. Stevie Wonder (Boogie on Reggae Woman). Aerosmith
also had some harp in their songs. Piano Man has a little harp thing in it.
"Say Say Say" by Michael Jackson and Paul McCartney... Sorry I can't be more
specific with some of these, but hopefully this will give you a place to
start.

Great trip down memory lane :)
