80s sampler

by julianK<3foonr • 4 Mar 2008, 19:43 • Journals
I'm currently on a weird 80s music trip (not necessarily 80s, but retro in a way) and as soon as my rapidshare account is reactivated I want to create some sort of supernice 80s sampler.
I demand you, xfire, to help me create that list of songs. There are a few I need to have in though.


Spandau Ballet - Gold
Rick Astley - Never Gonna Give You Up
Dead Or Alive - You Spin Me Right Round
Kim Wilde - Cambodia
Men At Work - Down Under
Van Halen - Jump
A Flock Of Seagull - I Ran
Foreigner - I Want To Know What Love Is
Toto - Africa
Whitesnake - Here I Go Again
Ben King - Stand By Me
A-Ha - Take On Me
The Clash - Rock The Casbah
The Police - Walking On The Moon
Tears For Fears - Head Over Heels
The Cure - Boys Don't Cry/Lullaby


Uli, I demand your support!

The fact that The Doors split up in 1973 doesn't make them an 80s band (retro yes but focus was 80s! :P)
