Hey all, what is some good 80s pop, rock or pop/rock type of stuff for me to d/l? I want to burn a mixed compo of some really 80s stuff, and have a few songs, but need ideas. Help.

Duran Duran, Adam and the Ants, (try and find greatest hit's comps for both of those) The Police, Queen (up to and including A Kind of Magic).
At 7.30am that's the best I can come up with.

Haha Fuck You
To give you guys an idea, the stuff I already have is stuff like:
(I Just) Died in Your Arms - Cutting Crew
Cars - Gary Numan
Why Can't This Be Love - Van Halen
Devil Inside - INXS
Alice Cooper - Poison
Dream Warriors - Dokken
Don't You Forget About Me - Simple Minds
I Can't Break Away - Big Pig
Abracadabra - Steve Miller Band
The Final Countdown - Europe
Not so much pop, but all fairly soft stuff. I looked at stuff from alot of 80s movies to get ideas, but I still need more. Maybe some Cyndi Lauper or Madonna or something?
Dreamy, I would put on some stuff from Queen, and Michael Jackson also, but they are too good to put amongst this stuff.
Duran Duran and the like were the first that came to my mind also, but I don't really know any of their actual songs lol.

I havent heard much Duran Duran but Hungry like the Wolf is an awesome song! Best to ask Lord Timo about that. He is the Duran Duran expert
Also Mighty Wings and Danger Zone from Top Gun Soundtrack are great. As is The Heat is On by Glen Fry (I think thats his name, that song from the start of beverly hills cop 2). Another great song is You Keep Me Hanging On by Kim Wilde

That guy from LORD
Yep, Pesudo Echo, Duran Duran, Glass Tiger, Icehouse... plenty of stuff which is awesome!
But if you're looking for stuff like you mentioned there, Blitzy, it's none of those bands, as excellent as they are!

well thanks to this thread, I watched The Breakfast Club again... and wept again.
That ending is stunning, I mean, it is the greatest ending to a film in the history of anything. When he punches his fist in the air, and it freezes, and Simple Minds are playing and holy shit, my heart just stops.
Thankyou Blitzkrieg for this wonderful thread, I'm on such a high right now
(I also noticed a lot of things that I didn't notice the first times around... Wang Chung sing the song that is played when they're running through the hallways... I recognised his voice this time around, and at the start of the scene where they're sitting in a sort of circle and they tell of why they're at detention... there is a really really quiet police siren being played, I'm wearing headphones so I heard it)
