Calling all the '80s children

[s class]

Any idea what the actual title of the discs will be, and when they will be available?

[Family_Dog]

Andrew, 80% of those songs are on about 3 dozen 80's collections... thought you wanted something else!


Not sure how old these are, but the first one's a CLASSIC!


PHD - I Won't Let You Down
David Essex - Oh What A Circus
Robert Miles - Children
Robert Miles - One And One
Laura Brannigan - Self Control
Laura Brannigan - Spanish Eddie
Stephanie Mills - Never Knew Love Like This Before
Mistral - Starship 109
The Family Dogg - Way Of Life
Sheila & The Black Devotion - Singing in the rain
Odyssey - Going Back To My Roots

In addition to some good songs already mentioned!

A slightly different 80's list:

LL Cool J - Rock the Bells
Afrika Bambaataa - Planet Rock
RUN-DMC - Sucker MC's
Doug E Fresh - The Show

Hi,

Four of the '80s DVDs are available already from Sony Music. He is busy compiling a list for the 5th one and is looking at what we're listing here.

They are around if you look, but not available like there are on these DVDs - Sony has really put a lot of effort into remastering the sound and getting it all up to scratch. Brilliant stuff.

I scanned through this thread and may have missed it but dont see much Dire Straits.

I think, after a while, people just resort to the shotgun approach for fear of leaving out anything.

[Andrew]

I got very disillusioned with most of the '80s compilations CDs that used to come out, because almost always, it was a particular artist and hit single that appeared time and time again, when in fact that artist would have had, say, 5 or 6 hits over that decade, and those songs never appeared.

Da-Da-Da: Trio
Der Kommisar: After the Fire
Silver Dream Machine: David Essex
Rock on: David Essex
Nightclubing: David Essex

Icehouse - No Promises

Great song, IMHO Icehouse's best track.  I've oly got an extended mix, any idea where I can find the original?

[jandre]

Alphaville - Afternoons in Utopia
Twisted Sister - The price
Autograph - Turn up the radio
Philip Oakey - Together in electric Dreams
Jeff Lynne - Video
Jeff Lynne - Let it run
Meatloaf - Read 'em and weep
Stryper - Free

[LAV]

One Night in Bangkok - Murray Head

Still one of those songs that always make me crank up the volume every time I hear it 

[Hi-Phibian]

Sinead O Connor Troy or Mandinka
Some SRV
10 K Maniacs eat for 2 my fave
Black, Wonderful Life
I guess U2 With or without you
REM end of the world or Stand
Indigo Girls
Some early UB40 before they went pop, Tyler or Madame Medusa
Snowy White Beard of Paradise

Still, I doubt I would buy any of the comps, what I like from the 80s I more or less own, the rest I am trying to forget I think....

Was Not Was - Shake Your Head
Shakespeare's Sister - Stay

Hey.. does 1992 count?
