Jason I'll let you off on. They both started life as characters on "Neighbours", the prime-time Australian soap opera, and they both signed to PWL to record songs written by Pete Waterman (shudder), and they both lived in the UK Top 10 for a year as a result. They recorded a duet ("Especially for You"), went out but denied it to the media until afterwards, and then Kylie dated rock bad-boy Michael Hutchence of INXS and the rest is history. Jason went on to star in musicals in the West End, as Joseph and as Frankenfurter, not unsuccessfully.
When some people think of "80s", they think of Human League, OMD and synth-pop. Some people think of "alternative 80s", Teardrop Explodes, New Order, Pysychadelic Furs and A Cerain Ratio. But unfortunately for these isles, a lot of people will think of Kylie, Jason, and Belinda Carlisle. Ugh.
