MagpieLee Report post Posted June 16, 2009 (edited) So anyway, I was watching this program with this dude and this woman living the 80's for like a week. To cut the long story short, at that point I am going to seriously start a decent 80's music collection. Why? Because it rocks! Post any links (LastFM, YouTube etc.) of any songs, bands that you think should be in my collection. I'm aiming for the cheesy romantic love ballads as well as those synthy-like "rock" tunes. Things like Frankie Goes to Hollywood, Bonnie Tyler, David Bowie, Blondie. Here's an example of a good 80's tune: Another example, suggested in #gm Edited June 16, 2009 by MagpieLee Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

chr0nik Report post Posted June 17, 2009 I love 80's music so I'm really interested to see how your thread develops. Here are my two selections for your preferred categories. Kix - Don't Close Your Eyes http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ztMY2uRczsg INXS - The One Thing http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nWd1IYMnhDs ...and 2 more that probably aren't what you're looking for. The late Stevie Ray Vaughan ignited electric blues in the 80s and it's a real bitch that he died too damn early. He was absolutely amazing - especially if you dig the whole 80s guitar influence. SRV - Lenny Also, here's 1 more from Kix - I think it was my fave tune of theirs back in the day: Kix - Girl Money Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Raz Report post Posted June 17, 2009 New romantics - FTW! Human Leage / Duran Duran / ABC etc. An easy way to get a collection - buy a few compilation albums - and then by albums of the artists you like! P.S. In the summer there are some UK based concerts - featuring the 80s music.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

littlestar Report post Posted June 18, 2009 (edited) OK, I wont say that i like the music that I link (quite some good music above though, Pixies ) but we're talking 80's so I must link what Yani linked yday. Laura Branigan - Self Control http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uWx7zv24vCI Some other songs that should fit the bill and some that wont, mostly hits (hard to find those that weren't singles on youtube :/), I was young in the 80's so I don't remeber more obscure music (if I havn't found it afterwards due to liking it) Some dates might be off but they should be more or less correct: Nena - 99 Luftballons (83-84 or so) (omg ppl how could you forget ) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9whehyybLqU 99 red ballons - (for those that prefear english) WHAM! (do i really need a link?) 52 - Love Shack (1989) Depeche Mode (have to be on the list somewhere) e.g. (The Sun And The Rainfall (1982))http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LMUag7tnYI0 (People Are People (1984)) Frankie Goes To Hollywood (lol) Relax (Don't Do It) -83?

Automatic - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_86SgNhDgwA (early 80's, youtube links says 83) Truly Classic Video Twisted Sister - We're not gonna take it (-84) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J-jsgousZcA Perhaps not what you look for again but it's 80's for me Van Halen (pretty much randomly, but not completly, chosen links ) Mean street - Little Guitars - Dreams - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Snf9oQ_ErM Whitesnake - Here I go Again The Vapors - Turning Japanese (pretty sure it was realised in the 80's and not 70's) (sry crappy recording)- Trains - Jimmie Jones Suzanne Vega - Luka (-87) edit: fixed a link and more links as well as spelling More edit: saw that some of the above had allready been mentioned, sry.
