Deathtank Posted April 19, 2010 Share Posted April 19, 2010 That playlist should include: duran duran, information society, new order, eurythmics, depeche mode, erasure, tears for fears, quadrophonia, house music, michael jackson, madonna, etc, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Harris Posted April 19, 2010 Share Posted April 19, 2010 :3artists-wise i'd suggest casiopea, t-square, yellow magic orchestra, level 42, swing out sister, list goes on... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schwaltzvald Posted April 19, 2010 Share Posted April 19, 2010 I'm rather surprised no one mentioned "Survivor" Eye of the Tiger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kinslayer Posted April 19, 2010 Share Posted April 19, 2010 I agree on the mention of Tears for Fears above, namely, the tracks "Mad World," "Shout," and "Everybody Wants to Rule the World," are a key factor in any '80's playlist. I would also include music from Heart, Stevie Nicks, Pat Benatar, and Blondie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Vagrance Posted April 19, 2010 Share Posted April 19, 2010 - I'll be goddamned if that isn't one of the best choruses ever. Also, late 80s but the Pixies are essential, as is Nine Inch Nails' first album, early Fugazi, Minor Threat, George Clinton, Giorgio Moroder, and a lot of others as other posters have mentioned.
