McDuck 0 Report post Posted November 16, 2007 There's far too many to list...solid gold on every radio station.Damn straight! Simply too many to list. May I suggest 1980s tunes by geographic origin (Kiwi,Aussie, Euro, British, American...) Those 80's tunes simply need to be crankin' out of an E30! Let's see: Euroland Falco (Rock me Amadeus) - All time fave AHA (Take on Me) Brit: Duran Duran (Girls on Film, The Reflex, Notorious, A View To A Kill) Genesis/Phil Collins - too many great tunes... David Bowie - (Let's Dance, Cat People, Dance Magic Dance) and the rest of it... The Police - almost everything Wham - pure cheeeese Pet Shop Boys (What Have I Done to Deserve This? It's A Sin, Heart, West End Girls) Boomtown Rats (I Don't Like Mondays) Kiwi: Patea Maori Club - Poi E The Dudes Hello Sailor Dave Dobbyn and Herbs - Slice of Heaven Aussie: Icehouse (Electric Blue, Great Southern Land, etc) Real Life (Send Me an Angel) INXS - Suicide Blonde, too many to mention Midnight Oil Men At Work America: Billy Idol Devo (Now WHIP IT!!!) Madonna Prince SUB CATEGORY: 80s Cockrock Bonjovi, Guns n Roses, Whitesnake, Poison, Motley Crue Simply too many too get down, I'd be interested to hear your thoughts. Many more to come!

My mistake... perhaps from the excitement of procrastination, posting that list Although Idol had more hits on the UK charts, he was still lapped up over in the States though! Come on people! Some great bands/songs have been listed, but only by forum members with the courage to admit they're into 80s tunes. Let's get more posts up! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bimmer boy 21 Report post Posted November 18, 2007 (edited) My two all time favourite 80' songs would have to be Dragon - Rain Jan Hammer - Crockets Theme But then theres lots more like Phil Collins - Another day in paradise. And pretty much every other song he made Flock of Seagulls - I ran Aha - Take on me Cameo - Word up David Bowie - China Girl Enya - Sail Away (Reminds me of dinner parties when I was little) Toto - Africa Frankie goes to Hollywood - Relax Billy Idol - White Wedding The Scarface theme song, and every other song in that movie Lionel Richie - Dancing on the ceiling Cars - whos going to drive you home Edited November 18, 2007 by RJS Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
