I will be a DJ at an 80's rock party and need to buy some music. I would like to know what songs people like to hear. Please don't cut and paste some top 40 chart from the 80's or give me a link to a website I already know. I want to hear from the fan perspective, please. I will be playing some hair band music (Guns and Roses, Twisted Sister, etc.), some Rock (Rick Springfield, John Mellencamp, Journey, etc.), and some Ballads too (Chicago, REO Speedwagon, etc).... also if you can let me know some hair band ballads that would be great. Definate plus if you mention songs that were mainstreem at the time, but forgotten now. Thanks!

Take Me to the Top by Loverboy was an incredible song that is fun to dance to. It's sexy too. Mission of Mercy by the Motels was also a great song to dance to. Rossington Collins had some pretty cool stuff as well as 38 Special. Bruce Springsteen was a little more earthy but had a couple of great rockers like Pink Caddilac and Sheri. ZZ Top, Heart, Pat Benetar, Boston, Der Kommasar was a really great tune along with the late great Rick James(Get Down On It). If I think of any more, I will add them to the list.

The Cramps - Surfin' ineffective The Pogues - Haunted The Cranberries - Zombie (easily 90s i think of? perhaps?) The Rolling Stones - Sympathy For The devil (Older than 80s i think) Queen - Killer Queen (style of a stretch, yet howdy, killer!) different staggering tunes in case you have been prepared to step outdoors of the 80s subject matter or possibly supplement some greater modern songs: mom mom - Ghosting gents Aution homestead - Abcdefgraveyard Mt. St. Helens Vietnam Band - Masquerade Tom Waits - ineffective & beautiful Robyn Hitchcock - My spouse & My ineffective spouse Self - (you're So) deadly electric powered Six - devil Nights electric powered Six - bite Me electric powered Six - We have been Witchy, Witchy White females electric powered Six - Be My dark Angel electric powered Six - contaminated ladies A ss Ponys - dying motor vehicle $25 Gogol Bordello - while The Trickster starts off Decemberists - Eli, The Barrowboy

When I think of 80's rock, I always remember "Here I Go Again" by Whitesnake, anything by Def Leppard... Also "Let's Go Crazy," "1999," and "Little Red Corvette" by Prince. Remember "Amadeus?" (ooh, rock me Amadeus!) What about "Nasty" by Janet Jackson?
