EDIT: Okay let's change it a little. Initially this was mostly 80s with a little overlap. Let's make it a little more lenient. Concentrating on the 80s, a bit of 70s and 90s either side.

What am I missing? Help me build this into a monument of 80s awesomeness!

[Ill Saint]

You need Joy Division, Bauhaus, Killing Joke, SPK, Swans and The Cure in there.

 

[DECK'ARD]

You've got most of it covered (Don't You Forget About Me is essential!), although these might be worth considering:

Animotion - Obsession
Ray Parker Jr - Ghostbusters
M.A.R.R.S - Pump Up The Voume
Cameo - Word Up
Adamski - Killer

I would say Axel F as well, but the Crazy Frog has forever soiled that now.

 

[radioheadrule83]

Aw hell yes. Dunno how I forgot the cure and joy division...

cheers, s'all good so far!

 

[Outlaw]

I think you forgot to add R.E.M on your list

 

[Guzim]

You forgot The Smiths.

 

[Prince]

your missing some prince & michael jackson

 

[Star Power]

Yazoo - Situation
Pet Shop Boys - Go West
Tom Tom Club - Genius of Love
Echo and the Bunnymen - The Cutter
David Bowie - Let's Dance
Blondie - Rapture
Slick Rick - Children's Story
M - Pop Muzik

"Wuthering Heights" was late 70s, BTW. "Running Up That Hill ( A Deal With God)" is an amazing Kate Bush single from the mid/late 80s...

 

[xsarien]

You need Joy Division, Bauhaus, Killing Joke, SPK, Swans and The Cure in there.

Also: Dead Kennedys and The Pixies.

You're also going to need a metric fuckton of Michael Jackson, and some Poison won't kill you either. Styx, too.

Big Country - In a Big Country

[Space Age Playboy]

Ned's Atomic Dustbin - Grey Cell Green

 

[Star Power]

Gary Numan - Cars

The Pleasure Principle came out in '79...

 

[DECK'ARD]

89/90 stuff:

Soul II Soul - Back II Life
Stone Roses - Waterfall
The La's - There She Goes
Happy Mondays - Step On
EMF - Unbelievable
Deee-Lite - Groove Is In The Heart

 

[Shazapp]

The Pleasure Principle came out in '79...

But "Cars" was a hit in early 1980.

 

[ParkPace]

Any 80's list without Hall & Oates isn't really an 80's list at all. Make sure to include some of their stuff.

Bruce Springsteen, Def Leppard, Huey Lewis & The News, The Bangles, and Cyndi Lauper are some other good ideas for stuff to look for.

 

[tralfazz]

Crowded House - "Don't dream it's over"
Run DMC -"Walk this way"
Grand Master Flash - "White lines"
Go-Go's- "We got the beat"

And songs off the following albums

U2 - Joshua Tree
Def Leppard - Hysteria
INXS - Kick
Cyndi Lauper - She's so unusual

Edit: Since you want songs

U2 - Where the streets have no name, Still haven't found what I'm looking for, With or Without you

Def Leppard - Pour some sugar on me, Rocket

INXS - Devil Inside, Need you Tonight, New Sensation

 

[FeedMeAStrayCat]

You need many more Duran Duran songs.. Hungry like the Wolf, Rio, etc.

And is Adam and the Ants the same group/person as that Adam Ant "Goody Two Shoes" song?

 

[Outdoor Miner]

Midnight Oil *anything by them*
Psychedelic Furs "Love My Way" (i mean, seriously)

 

[radioheadrule83]

I was born in 1983 btw.

Those listing just bands are gonna have to be more specific. Some of this *is* new to me.
Can't believe I left off the Pixies, Michael Jackson and a few other bands though. My brain must be DYING or something. Wow.

If I'm not updating at a heavy rate it's cos its 1am here. I'll be going to bed soon, but I'm digging this, I'll carry it on..

 

[Matlock]

Moving in Stereo

 

[DECK'ARD]

Survivor - Eye Of The Tiger
Kenny Loggins - Danger Zone
Berlin - Take My Breath Away
T-Pau - China In Your Hand
Shakespear's Sister - Stay
Tasmin Archer - Sleeping Satellite

Good thread this

 

[tralfazz]

You need many more Duran Duran songs.. Hungry like the Wolf, Rio, etc.

By the way the song you list - "Dance into the fire" is actually "View to a Kill"

 

[xsarien]

A few singles:

Alphaville - Forever Young
Wall of Voodoo - Mexican Radio
Oxo - Whirly Girl

Also, get a few token Human League songs on there.

Survivor - Eye Of The Tiger
Kenny Loggins - Danger Zone
Berlin - Take My Breath Away
T-Pau - China In Your Hand
Shakespear's Sister - Stay
Tasmin Archer - Sleeping Satellite

Good thread this

What, Heart and Soul isn't good enough for you?

 

[ParkPace]

I was born in 1983 btw.

Those listing just bands are gonna have to be more specific. Some of this *is* new to me...

There are a ton of one-hit wonders from the 80's, almost too many to list without copy/pasting from somewhere. I suggest getting ahold of the 80's Billboard Top 100 lists or spending time listening to some of the 80's shoutcast stations for song ideas.

 

[DECK'ARD]

Also, get a few token Human League songs on there.

I second that.

Don't You Want Me being the obvious choice.
Being Boiled being a less obvious one.

 

[FeedMeAStrayCat]

By the way the song you list - "Dance into the fire" is actually "View to a Kill"

This man is correct!

And View to a Kill is one of my favorite Bond themes..

 

[xsarien]

I heading out for an early dinner. By the time I get back, I want to see some fucking Devo, Clash and Tracy Chapman on this list.

 

[FeedMeAStrayCat]

I heading out for an early dinner. By the time I get back, I want to see some fucking Clash and Tracy Chapman on this list.

What are some good Clash songs? I know nothing from them.. well, I might know stuff from them, but just don't realize it's them..


Actually, I just realized I don't know any of The Who's songs either besides the one that's the CSI theme.. I knew that one before the show, actually, heh.. what are some others?

As you can tell, I'm not a big music fan, but I enjoy it..

[Outdoor Miner]

What are some good Clash songs? I know nothing from them.. well, I might know stuff from them, but just don't realize it's them..

Clash - London Calling is an absolute must.

 

[tralfazz]

Rock the Casbah.

 

[DECK'ARD]

The Clash - London Calling, Should I Stay Or Should I Go

More if I can be bothered later. Btw, here are a couple of good sites for 80's song titles:


site #1

site #2 (just search by year; this site has the title and artist for every song that cracked the top 40 during any given year)


EDIT#2: I also see that many of the songs I listed were mentioned already while I was writing this up. Doh!

 

[DECK'ARD]

And Neneh Cherry's 'Buffalo Stance'

Definitely! Forgot that one, and these 2:

Salt N Pepper - Push It
Technotronic - Pump Up The Jam

Think I'll call it a night now

 

[Star Power]

You also have to have "Under the Mily Way" by the Church. Best song EVER. And "I Feel 4 U" by Chaka Khan

 

[Loki]

I trancing on this right now.

Young MC - "Bust a move
De La Soul - "Me, myself and I
Arrested Development - "Tennessee"
Faith No More - "Epic"
Fine Young Cannibal - "She drives me crazy" and "Good Thing"
Living Colour - "Cult of personality" and "Ghetto Boys"

Nice picks, though I was never too fond of Fine Young Cannibal. I can see the appeal, though.

 

[radioheadrule83]

I'm out for the night now... just edited to throw a few more in. 2am ;( knackered. Awesome stuff this though.

Any chance we could get a title edit to reflect the new leniency on the years accepted?

In the post itself I've changed it to "GAF's Music Time Capsule"

 

[DECK'ARD]

Good work Mr. Radiohead!

Don't forget to add Obsession by Animotion though, one of the most classic synth-lines of the 80's.

 

[tralfazz]

God bless you Radiohead. You made my day. I was going through my library for stuff and posted Living Colour. I went back and listened to them again and forgot how great they were and how much I loved them. Ahead of their time. I wish they were still alive and kicking. If the producers of Hit Me Baby are listening put this group on the show at all costs. Maybe they will reform.

uh... they reformed a few years ago and released an album last year (or was it in 2003)...

 

[tralfazz]

I just found that out! I was doing some snooping on the internets. I'm looking forward to hearing it. I had no idea, after 8 years you tend to give up on a band and it sure didn't get any press.

 

[blahness]

hey man you forgot the Skid Row! anything off of thier first album should do it, most notably 18 and Life, I Remember You, and Youth Gone Wild.

I think everybody would like to forget Skid Row.
