My friend is have a 70s and 80s themed birthday party. Im in charge of music so I need help with what the big names were out there! Our parties start around 8 and go till about 4am so we can fit everything in there. REMIXES are good too! Like the trance-techno versions of songs.
Thanks a lot!

For the 70's, I'd stick to the Bee Gees. For the 80's, Madonna is a good one. Also, try to find soundtracks to movies that were popular at the time (Saturday Night Fever, etc.)

Go to Tower Records and check out numerous Golden Oldies from the seventies and eighties. There are great recording's on separate CD's. The choices will keep you guys having a mighty fine good time all evening. There are so many hits that it is hard to list them all.
