angelkitty Posted April 2, 2010 Share Posted April 2, 2010 Personally I prefer *fists* Barrowman! It's faaar more amusing *passes Never the Bodycult* And despite being 13 when the 80s ended, I only really fell in love with the music later. Being of the Gothic persuation means that you get a lot of 80s played, and it was an AWESOME decade for music. New Romantics, early dance and house music, Glam Rock. Ally - I was hoping that Enjoy the Silence might have sneaked in in 89, and it is the best thing that the Mode ever did. Oh and I forgot The Smiths, How Soon is Now is fabulous! As is This Charming Man! And hey, at least I didn't mention Bros!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As is This Charming Man! And hey, at least I didn't mention Bros!!!! I have an unfair advantage about the 80s seeing as I turned 13 near the beginning rather than near the end! I also had an elder sister who was a punk and got me into the Liverpool alt scene at an early age and then dragged me off to all sorts of gigs from when I was 13/14 (my first Bunnymen gig was my 13th birthday present I think). After that I started going on my own! I had to leave my fave Depeche Mode song off the list too - Walking in My Shoes - as that came out in the 90s and all but there is plenty to choose from otherwise. Now excuse me while I go and reminisce about Flour Fights before Neph gigs in the 80s... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BeatrixKiddo88 Posted April 2, 2010 Share Posted April 2, 2010 Oh oh, and anything from one of the best albums ever! Back In Black by AC/DC. And not just the title track (although it was appreciated last time round). Shoot to Thrill would be EPIC to hear at the hub! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Never Posted April 2, 2010 Share Posted April 2, 2010 Yes! That!! Although you have made me want to watch Iron Man now!! So, so far my 80s music stretches to Queen, Bowie, Bon Jovi and AC/DC! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

angelkitty Posted April 2, 2010 Share Posted April 2, 2010 I can't believe I forgot Madonna! Lucky Star Holiday La Isla Bonita Like a Prayer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EvilRuthy Posted April 3, 2010 Share Posted April 3, 2010 I can't believe I forgot Madonna! Lucky Star Holiday La Isla Bonita Like a Prayer Yes you definitely can't leave Madonna out of the equation. I must say I love all the choices posted, as I'm a huge 80's baby..... But you've forgotten Men At Work's "Down Under" - now that is probably one Aussie song that is well known (yes I'm an Aussie and we should be represented after all ). And you have definitely won me over with some Acca Dacca......yay for ACDC - mind you, my favourite song of theirs is Thunderstruck and it was released in 1990; do ya think we could squeeze it in regardless?

EvilRuthy Posted April 3, 2010 Share Posted April 3, 2010 Of course I would also love anything from The Eurythmics, The Police, and what about Springsteen? "Dancin' in the Dark" is a definite fave. And how about Blondie too? This is what I love about the 80's, just so much choice of great music! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dazzlerjames Posted April 3, 2010 Share Posted April 3, 2010 Any decent DJ should have all if not most of those anyway. Sppeaking from experience it's not always appreciated when somebody brings a CD!! Have fun guys! (I would have loved to DJ this one - 80's is my speciality) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Designated Driver Posted April 3, 2010 Share Posted April 3, 2010 Let's not forget that the early eighties saw the NWOBHM (New Wave of British Heavy Metal for those not as old as me!).
