80's music playlist

[mizouse87]

I've been rocking out to some of my favorite 80's songs lately and have decided to have an 80's themed party for my birthday coming up. I've compiled a pretty decent list of songs for a playlist thus far but am looking for further help. What are some of your favorite 80's songs and/or artists?

 

[cyclonenum1]

Any early REM.

new wave? hair metal? rock? rap? What's your thing?

You could do a google search for VH1's top 100 lists. I believe they've done both an over-all 80's list and a one-hit wonders 80's list.

First thing that came up: Rock On The Net: VH1: 100 Greatest Songs of the 80's: 1-50

My guess is that the OP is looking for "eighties music". I tried to intersperse some good music from the 80's mixed with popular 80's music.

"Your Love" The Outfield
"Nightrain" Guns N' Roses
"It's the End of the World" REM
"Just Like Heaven" The Cure
"Born in the U.S.A" The Boss
"Stardog Champion" Mother Love Bone
"Shout at the Devil" Motley Crue
"Magic" The Cars
"Call Me" Blondie
"Big Time" Peter Gabriel
"Sweet Child o Mine" Guns N' Roses
"Sunday Bloody Sunday" U2
"Billie Jean"/"Beat It" Michael Jackson
"Won't Back Down" Tom Petty

Just a starter.

Take Me Home Tonight? Come on Al, thought you would have been all over that one. You seem like an Eddie Money guy.

Whatever you do, don't forget Lionel Richie. "All Night Long" is as good as it gets.

I admit that I am a complete sucker for those specials when they're on. Used to drive my roommate nuts.

Just looked that list up and I have to say that this: 57 Jermaine Stewart “We Don’t Have to Take Our Clothes Offâ€￾ stood out as a personal favorite after watching Zack and Miri.
