Lots of people criticise 80's music but there were some fantastic songs. I think you're after pop tunes so have a look at the track listings of these compilations and pick out your favourites:
1. Simply The Best Eighties 2. Capital Gold Eighties Legends If you want more indie/alternative songs, have a look at these compilations: 3. Dark Side of the 80's 4. Alternative 80's I might start making my own 80's compilation

'Ive been in Love before'. That first album is excellent. Highly recommended if you can get hold of a copy. |

A couple of 'alternative' (I hate that phrase, but couldn't think of any others...) ideas:
McCarthy - Charles Windsor Smiths - Girlfriend in a Coma Pixies - Here comes your Man (I think Dolittle was 80's, sure someone will correct me if i'm wrong) Joy Division - Love Will Tear Us Apart Clash - Rock the Casbah Anything by Prince - he was that good in the 80's That song by Big Audio Dynamite i can't remember the name of Kate Bush - Wuthering Heights* Adam and the Ants - Prince Charming* See, and who said the eighties were all bad? Just because the hair styles and polyester trousers were bad, some of the music was good! *ok, not that alternative, but fantastic songs, showing that quality pop can exist, and it doesn't have to be factory manufactured trash! |
