IN THE PROCESS OF CREATING A MIX, FOUR DISC SET. WOULD LIKE SOME SUGGESTIONS FOR CAN'T MISS TRACKS.

A-Ha - Take on Me

Naked Eyes - Promises, Promises

Prince - I would Die For You

A-Ha - Living a Boys Adventure Tale

Swap out the Naked Eyes for Soft Cell's "Sex Dwarf." Otherwise you're already off to a fine start. Lessee, Visage, "Fade to Grey," Madonna, "Into the Groove"...

― Ned Raggett, Monday, 1 April 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Depeche Mode "Everything Counts", Love & Rockets "Ball of Confusion", Nik Kershaw "Wouldn't It be Good", Tears for Fears "Pale Shelter", KILLING JOKE "EIGHTIES"

Wasn't Loaded 1990?

― Ronan, Monday, 1 April 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Living in a Box!

― jel --, Monday, 1 April 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I thought "Loaded" was 1989. I could be wrong, though.

Kudos to the Living In A Box suggestion, though.

How'd "This Town Ain't Big Enough for the Both of Us" get on there?

― Arthur, Monday, 1 April 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

To be fair It was me that called it an 80s compilation, the compilation is marketed with this title..Electric - The Very Best Of Early Electronic New Wave & Synth

so that is why sparks are included.

didn't we do this thread like two minutes ago?

― michael, Monday, 1 April 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

One fantastically 80's song is one that (probably) no one outside of Canada has ever heard of. Look for 'We Run' by Strange Advance. If you can find it, it's the ultimate new wave synth dance ballad.

― Kim, Monday, 1 April 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

morriseey's coming out in :Dead or Alive's You Spin Me Round (like a record)...hilarious!
