Need 80's Mix Help
 

This is what I have so far...

Disk 1

Blind Mellon - No Rain
Bruce Hornsby - Just the Way It Is
Don Henely - Boys of Summer
Extreme - More Than Words
Forienger - I Want to Know What Love Is
Guns and Roses - November Rain
Jesus Jones - Right Here, Right Now
Mr. Mister - Broken Wing
Poison - Every Rose Has Its Thorns
Police - Every Breath You Take
Scorpions - Winds of Change
Smashing Pumpkins - Landslide
Talking Heads - Once In a Lifetime
Tears for Fears - I Want to Rule the World
U2 - WIth or Without You

Disk 2

Billy Idol - Eyes Without a Face
Cars - Drive
Chris Issak - Don't Wanna Fall In Love
Cutting Crew - Died in Your Arms Tonight
Don Henely & Bruce Hornsby - End of Innosence
Foreigner - Waiting For a Girl Like You
Genesis - In the Air Tonight
Guns and Roses - Sweet Child of Mine
Police - Message in a Bottle
Simple Minds - Don't You Forget About Me
Talking Heads - Take Me To the River
Tears for Fears - Shoot

Disk 1 has been done for awhile, but Disk 2 still has some room for improvement (and more songs). I realize that some of these songs are 80's, but the 80's sound is there. More into the whole ballad thing, as you can see, but there is a wide variety of music on there. Please post some suggestions for songs. Thanks.

Im very much into the 80's myself.
I could make a massive list but will suggest a few here.....

If you want a few.......
BALLADs

Ballad of Jane - LA Guns
Don't know what you got(till its gone) - Cinderella
Love Bites - Def Leppard
Fly To The Angels - Slaughter
Is This Love - Whitesnake
When The Children Cry - White Lion <----- BEST SONG EVER!
High Enough - Damn Yankees <----- 1990
Carrie - Europe
Headed for a Heartbreak - Winger

I could go on forever as I said.

Aha - Take on Me
The Church - Under the Milkyway
The Smiths - How Soon is Now
The Smiths - Hang the DJ
Tears for Fears - Head Over Heals
99 Red Balloons...... forgot artist
Echo and the Bunnymen - The Killing Moon

are some fo my favs

Thanks for the suggestions everyone. I have a lot of downloading to do today.

Burnt Alive - Thanks for the title corrections. As I mentioned in the orriginal post I realize that some of the songs weren't put out in the 80, but they were made my 80's bands and do have that 80's sound. The only acceptions would be Blind Mellon (cause I just love that song and needed it on a CD) and Smashing Pumpkins (a cover of a Fleetwood Mac song put out in 1975, but I didn't hear til the 80's).

I'm making an 80's compliation CD set myself. When I'm done its going to span about 10 CD's, kinda like that Time Life set thats out. I'm working on a 90's Alternative set too. Here is what I have so far...


Huey Lewis - Power of Love
Huey Lewis - Back in Time
Huey Lewis - If this is it
Cutting Crew - Died in your arms tonight
Eddie Money - Take me Home Tonight
Robert Palmer - Addicted to Love
Robert Palmer - Simply Irrisistable
Kenny Logins - I'm Alright
Kenny Logins - Danger Zone
Tears for Fears - Everybody Wants to Rule the World
Tears for Fears - Head over Heels

joshd2012 awesome thread. Simply awesome. Thanks to all that contributed to it's greatness ...

:up:

Huey Lewis? Dude, are you Patrick Bateman or just a wannabe?

Yes. Yes I am, now I have to go return some video tapes.

Hmm, I'm more into the new wave stuff but I'll give this a go:

Peter Murphy - Hit Song
U2 - Unchained Melody
The Cult - Sanctuary
The Alarm - Rain in the Summertime
Big Country - Fields of Fire
Cetu Javu - Have in Mind
Gene Loves Jezebel - Motion of Love
