Ts , this is a great thread. Made me relive the golden days when there were no linkin park or heavy metal.
I do have some old song :
ACDC - TNT
Cool and the gang- Get down on it
and many johnny cash songs

not sure if u all know this but
Def Leppard - Hysteria or Animal
both excellent songs

a pretty obscure song by Crowded House (besides Don't Dream It's Over) is their song "Fall At Your Feet"
i prefer this over their more popular wan
singing about unrequited love i think

The Beatles
"Hey Jude" - nice n lively sing-along at the end, always makes me happy lol

Whitesnakes
"Here I Go Again"
"Is This Love"
both wonderful love power ballads that pretty much represents that era XD

oh yea can't go wrong with
Elvis Presley - Suspicious Minds

Not a big fan of 80s music, but I love Joshua Tree-era U2 and The Police!

queen - radio ga ga

wat a great thread. i love 80s! i was a self proclaimed duranie, in fact i still do..
most of my favourite bands are from 80s as well, new order, the smiths, the cure, siouxsie, to many to name.

recently i just rediscover a band that i used to love from youtube-bronski beat. anyone remember them?

80's...the best era of good songs...ever

Heaven - Bryan Adams.

80's music scene is the best. not just pop, even the metal genre.
i bet those majority listen to those are >30 of age or late 20s.
this thread rocks! to those listening to hip hop and nowadays
crap, you don't know what you're missing.
ts, you brought back our nostalgia, almost make me cry.

I love 80s, as I believed it was the era of experimenting electronica, hence with all the "weird" sounds behind the music. Joy Division (New Order after the lead vocal died of commiting suicide), Happy Monday, and other unknown indie bands especially in British.

For more you can check out a music documentary called "24 Hours Party People".

And to add in the hip hop bashing, "Beautiful Girls" sample from an old song title "Stand By Me", and I hate that fat guy, looks like Fat Albert.

im too lazy to post what songs i love most.. but i love alot lol...

I like oldskool stuff too though im only 16. Haha, classics like raindrops keep falling on my head, total eclipse of the heart, and here comes the sun makes me feel sober.

Is anyone in here planning to go for the HERE & NOW 2008 TOUR (Best Of 80s) concert in Genting Highland on March 21 & 23?

One of my all time favourite artists, Belinda Carlisle, is joining Banarama, Paul Young, Johnny Hates Jazz and Limahl to perform in Genting. Wow, the last time Belinda was here, it was in 1990 for her Runaway Tour! I am really excited about this but the price of the tickets is killing me! It ranges from RM200 to RM780!! OMG...
