i'm downloading some songs to make an 80's rock CD. i've been on a flashback kick latley. not sure why... :smash: i need some ideas for songs. got some Crue, Poison, Cinderella, Warrant, Tesla, Def Leppard, Slaughter, Ratt, etc... but need some more suggestions. come on now, i can't be the only 80's freak.

The English Beat. You only need two songs: I Confess, and End of the Party.
Not really your sound, but it drives the ladies crazy.

herbie hancock--Rockit. A must have 80s tune.

not really big hair and spray songs but good 80s stuff.

if you want to diversify your disk, jam-on-it is my all time favorite 80's break dancing tune... yep herbie comes in 2nd with rocket...

Ronnie James Dio - Last in line

Van Halen - Mean Streets

Sabastian Bachs' band???? - Monkey Business


My head hurts when I try to remember the 80s:yak:

Don't forget Dokken, Ozzy, Dio, Skid Row, Whitesnake,Iron Maiden, Judas Priest,Metallica(pre-black album)...The stuff I listen to EVERY day :) johnny "tRB"

Skid Row - Monkey Business

White Snake - In the still of the night

ACCEPT Restless & Wild

"Relax"

Y and T- Open Fire(Live Version)
UFO-Lights Out(Live Version)

TNT

Skid Row :btu:

never really liked Dokken or Maiden. sometimes Preist is ok. John, i'll have to look into those songs.

twisted sister,,,more Maiden please

Tob...you're forgetting your favorite...Miami Sound Machine!!!

I used to love this tune called Rock and Roll Crazy Nights by the band Loudness, they were a Japanese metal band. ANy one ever hear that tune? It got some MTV play.
I'd add
Motley Crue, Too Young to fall in love

AC/DC

Frankie goes to Hollywood :rotfl:


How about: KIX - remember them?

some boston third stage please...(still kicking myself for not seeing them in concert when i had the chance... :smash: )

and don't forget Journey... :o

grandmaster flash and melle mel... :cool:

rush

1 vote maiden fear of the dark :D Gotta dig that intro, dude sounds kinda fruity tho

Crue and Skid Row are probably my favorites.

How about some "Total Coela"? Anyone rememebr the name of the one song they had?

And just in case someone else didn't mention it, add some Clash and Bon Jovi. Springsteen was hot in the late 80's as well.

Christian,

Rush does an awesome live show. Saw them during the "Signals" Tour. My three favorite songs are Bastille Day, Trees, and Red Barchetta.

At least ya not asking about 70s music man that disco gets on my nerves). Good stuff from the 80s is hum anything that didnt copy jouneys power ballets. Really dont like much from the 80s but metallica, slayer. megadeth and so on. Nothing wrong with the 80s sellout radio pop chit to get chicks just doesnt flot my boat).
