Song suggestions for an 80s playlist

[dirty_sanchez]

Ok, everyone south of DaveLfc will have to wait, but I'll be back when my love missile is charged up again.

Like Motley Crue. (Can anyone actually name a song by them)

 

.

 

More than its appropriate to admit to in decent company, sadly.

[Guest The Chimp]

The 80s was weird. In so many ways it was a horrible decade to be a young Scouser but we had so many laughs that I tend to remember the good times with my mates the most. The music then gives a fantastic back-drop to my memories. For some reason this came into my head before.

I went into town after a few and ended up in Flintlocks. I was wrecked on Grolsch and was jumped upon by some blonde bird from Kenny. Was a bit of a disaster of a night which ended with me spewing down the side of her mates car on the way home and stumbling off to my ma's alone.

Embrace it Hammy - the Crue rule.

[Simbo]

Not sure if it has already been mentioned....but the worst, best song from the 80's.

 

Prefab Sprout - The King Of Rock 'n' Roll

 

"Hotdog, jumping frog, Albuquerque..."

Cheers DS. I admire your ability to rep me despite me having Take on Me in my playlist. You are a true great.

Stephen Tin Tin Duffy - Kiss Me

Wah - Story of the Blues

Talking Heads - Once in a Lifetime

 

Anything less is a travesty.

The greatness of your deeds outweighs your suspect taste in Scandinavian pop music.

Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes.

 

The day they played The Tube blew me away. They played this and Swamp.

 

(Dance Your Ass Off!!!)

 

I'm off to get my earphones...

[razor]

I always thought I hated the 80s. Re-evaluation required.

 

I'm going back through this thread and making a playlist. And I'm going to put Happy House by Siouxsie and the Banshees on it. And Swamp Thing by The Chameleons.

 

And so should you.

Just had to rep the living shit out of Razor for mentioning Swamp Thing by the Chameleons. Possibly the most underrated British band of all time. Fucking love them. Also, unless my memory is very much messing with my head I think RobboRiise is mates with a couple of The Chameleons.

Fuck it, whilst I'm being all Sensible, have some of this too:

Excellent call on The Church. The only better tune they have done other than Under the Milky Way is their Acoustic version of the same. While not technically 80's as it was released later, it could always be wedged in there with an asterisk.
