mytwomonkeys Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 (edited) i love 80's music & for me, the ultimate mix would have a little bit of everything. i'm sure my mind will change with the song selection below, but these groups come to my memory first. many of these songs are on my ipod for running. aha - take on me tears for fears - shout bryan adams - summer of 69 or cuts like a knife or heaven the outfield - lose your love tonight the cure - boys don't cry modern english - melt with you depeche mode - but not tonight yaz - only you new order - bizarre love triangle or blue monday erasure - a little respect dead or alive - brand new lover soft cell - tainted love U2 - in the name of love REM - it's the end of the world as we know it van halen - jump journey - don't stop believing michael jackson - beat it wham - wake me up before you go go ETA - crowded house. i forgot about them. i loved crowded house.

FaithManor Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 Well, I think that any collection of 80's music would not be complete without "Dancing Queen" by Abba and probably at least one sappy ballad by Air Supply. Faith Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joannqn Posted February 11, 2011 Author Share Posted February 11, 2011 Dh ended up downloading 186 songs for me. I'm in the process of looking of trivia questions. Tomorrow I'll be making a cake, and Saturday, it will be decorated into a Pac-Man cake. We're all planning our 80's costumes (kids included) and will go shopping tomorrow. DH is looking for a metal rock star wig. :lol: All this is for a last minute birthday party for me. A friend was trying to convince me to find time to do something for my birthday, and DH asked what I wanted. My answer to both: have an 80s birthday party! Can't wait even if we don't have a lot of people show up because of the last minute thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wendi Posted February 11, 2011 Share Posted February 11, 2011 My list: (artists, since they had more than one hit) Billy Joel Blondie The Police U2 Air Supply REO Speedwagon Joan Jett and the Blackhearts B-52s Cyndi Lauper Madonna The Clash Huey Lewis & the News Phil Collins Michael Jackson Boy George Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
