Post Your Suggestions And Favourite 80s Tracks Here
<ADMIN>
Thanks for starting this thread. I've moved it over to the 80's Playlist thread and made it a sticky. </ADMIN> I noticed the abscense of an 80s request thread here... so I hope it's ok if I start one. I have a few here for starters: Peter Gabriel -- "In Your Eyes" [1986] Peter Gabriel -- "Big Time" [1986] Wall of Voodoo -- "Mexican Radio" [1982] Hall & Oates -- "Maneater" [1982] Hall & Oates -- "Private Eyes" [1981] Rupert Holmes -- "Escape (The Pina Colada Song)" [1979/1980] Bruce Hornsby -- "The Valley Road" [1986] Sting -- "Fortress Around Your Heart" [1985] Billy Joel -- "Tell Her About It" [1983] The Vapors -- "Turning Japanese" [1980] Rick Astley -- "Never Gonna Give You Up" [1987] Rick Astley -- "Together Forever" [1987] Styx -- "Mr. Roboto" [1983] The Police -- "Don't Stand So Close To Me" [1980] * These two are on the 70s station for some reason... The Police -- "Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic" [1981] The Police -- "Every Breath You Take" [1983] A Flock Of Seagulls -- "I Ran (So Far Away)" [1982] A Flock Of Seagulls -- "Space Age Love Song" [1982] Pet Shop Boys -- "Always On My Mind" [1988] Pet Shop Boys -- "West End Girls" [1986] Pet Shop Boys -- "It's A Sin" [1987] The Beach Boys -- "Kokomo" [1988] I'll post some more, but these were a few that came to mind. Hope you guys will consider these... thank you, sky.fm rocks  Last edited by nosebleed : Oct 15th, 2005 at 12:45 AM. |

The best place to research that I've found is wikipedia... that's how I at least found what year each song was released
And how could I forget "Mandolin Rain", excellent song  EDIT: And a few more of my own Human League "Human" [1986] Power Station "Get It On (Bang A Gong)" [1985] Last edited by nosebleed : Oct 15th, 2005 at 08:52 PM. |

I would't mind hearing songs by Staus Quo,
some of Pet Shop Boys as well especially It's a Sin and Go West. Also some more A-Ha wouldn't go amiss. Bon Jovi wouldn't go amiss Cornal Abraham - Trapped Going loco in alcopolco (Can't remeber the artist I'm afraid) London Boys - 'Requiem for Love' and 'Harlem Desire' Scorpions particlarly 'Heros don't cry' 'Soul behind the face' and 'Still loving you' Frankie Goes to Hollywood 'relax' and 'The power of love' War of the worlds remix Nick Kershaw - The riddle Mr. Mister - Kyrie REM Wierd Al Yankovich Last edited by SpikeB : Apr 14th, 2006 at 04:39 PM. |

Does anyone from the station actually read this thread? Or is it just wishful thinking on our part!

Madness
We don't get enough of their stuff here in the states - just 'Our House' - which I love! HOWEVER...I do like the following:
'House of Fun' 'It Must Be Love' 'Baggy Trousers' 'Driving In My Car' 'One Step Beyond' It may be difficult to find these - but I'd love you forever and ever if you can find just one. Happy Madness Hunting! The Mighty Miss M Be the remedy - think "butterfly effect"! Love the Starship going now! I'm thinking the movie 'Mannequin'... |
