The 80's

[geno]

We're all listening to MP3s from the 80's here. I was born in 83, so all these songs take me waaaay back. Is this how you old timers feel when you hear a song from the 60's/70's? Anyways, what are some classics from the 80's that I shoud suggest? We got some Billy Idol, Divo, and some other assorted 80's hits lol.

 

[ChrichtonsGirl]

My taste probably isn't the same as yours, but I went for a lot of the "new wave" stuff. How about Frankie Goes to Hollywood, Simple Minds, Bronski Beat, INXS, Elvis Costello, Crowded House, Erasure (they might have been early 90's), Modern English, Duran Duran...drawing a blank on more, but it's Retro Saturday on one of my favorite radio stations, so maybe they'll give me some ideas.

 

[Linh]

i was in high school in the late 80's, and i'm asian, so i listened to mostly alternative/new wave stuff.

cause n effect
modern talking
bad boys blue

<< My taste probably isn't the same as yours, but I went for a lot of the &quot;new wave&quot; stuff >>


Oh believe me, this stuff isn't my taste. I really wasn't into music back then - it's just stuff that I've heard heheh

 

[damocles]

There was quite a large 80's music thread a couple of weeks back. It sent me straight to Napster. One song that everyone forgot to mention on it was one of my favourites -Men Without Hats, Safety Dance

Great Song

The 80's was a cool era to be in, i don't care what anyone says

 

[Linh]

80's music rules. thats what i grew up listening too, and thats what i still listen too

 

[geno]

currently blaring the Safety Dance

 

[Rudee]

Ahhh, the 80's... Back when I use to walk 10 miles to school - Without a handgun!!!

 

[geno]

We got to move these - refrigerators. Got to move these color TVVVVVVVVVVVs



My god I can't believe I'm singin this :Q

 

[AMDJunkie]

I just put on whatever station has an 80's kick and enjoy. 80's alternative/new wave/whatever and rock were the best.

 

[Renob]

HEAVY METAL ruled the 80s my friend now how bout some Iron madin Judas priest stuff like that..............

 

[Prodigy^]

I got a couple of nice tracks that are kinda funny to listen to

A Ha - Take On Me
David Bowie - Let's Dance
Rick Astley - Never Gonna Give You Up
Right Said Fred - I'm Too Sexy


Also try Sting and Prince.

 

[StickHead]

80's Rock was one of the greatest times to be a rock fan. Motley Crue, Van Halen, Scorpians, Ozzy's 80s stuff(Bark at the Moon is killer), ect, ect. I miss MTV of the 80s. At least to Rock Show is on for 30 stinkin' mins once a week.

 

[starlitt]

I listened to alot of Heavy Metal in the 80's and early 90's I also listened to New Wave, I'm not sure if CC Cat was new wave? My memory is bad. I was born in 1980 so I was at the jumping point. I still listen to 80s synth.
