80's Pop

[Az.]

Hey guys,

Just wondering if anyone knows any decent 80's pop music?
The cheesier the better.....but im looking for classics.

Any help all will be greatly appreciated :D

[Its a Plant]

Lol...I'm not going to ask what for, but the first thing that popped into my head was "We Built this City." I don't actually know who's its offically by, I just know a lot of popular 80s bands did it.

"We built this city on rock and rolllllllll" lol good tune.

Oh, and "Workin' for the weekend" by Loverboy I believe?

[spacelamb]

Hmmm......Berlin was pretty cheesey...Lionel Ritchie was extra cheesey...DeBarge....New Kids on the Block maybe the cheesiest of all. I don't know that I can help much with specific song titles, my memory sucks.

Oh, and I think "We Built this City" was Jefferson Starship, the sucky 80's version of Jefferson Airplane.

[dog420]

Duran duran, Bros, George Micheal, Yazz, New Kids from the Block, Roxcette, Cher, ermm man theres loads more! :)

[beachguy in thongs]

Who was it, I can't remember.

"Something happens that I'm head over heels.
I never find out...'till I'm head over hee-eels."

Or...

"You can dance if you want to.
You can dance....
(blah blah blah)
And if you don't dance than you're,
No friend of mine."

[HiddenBeauty]

Who was it, I can't remember.

"Something happens that I'm head over heels.
I never find out...'till I'm head over hee-eels."

Or...

"You can dance if you want to.

And if you don't dance than you're,
No friend of mine."

Men without hats sang it.

[beachguy in thongs]

Village people are a must :D

"Ooh, out of the blue..."
-Debbie Gibson

A cool 80's song is "Mr. Roboto".

8675309 sounds like a character out of Ayn Rand's book, "Anthem".

[del...]

tears for fear oozes cheesiness...but for something a bit more hip from that era try frankie goes to hollywood's "relax, don't do it" or soft cell's "tainted love"...

[minnesota man]

Hall and Oates

"Oh oh here she comes.
Watch out boy, she'll chew you up."

[MaryJaneintheCloset]

Lol...I'm not going to ask what for, but the first thing that popped into my head was "We Built this City." I don't actually know who's its offically by, I just know a lot of popular 80s bands did it.

"We built this city on rock and rolllllllll" lol good tune.

Oh, and "Workin' for the weekend" by Loverboy I believe?

AUUGHHH now I have that song in my head!!! :confused:

Another cheesy one that pops into my head is "Man-eater". LOL...

[MaryJaneintheCloset]

OMG and another horrible cheesy one that I absolutely cannot stand: "She Belongs to the City"... nooooooooo!

[beachguy in thongs]

"Living in a river of darkness, beneath the neon-lights."

[Az.]

AUUGHHH now I have that song in my head!!! :confused:

Another cheesy one that pops into my head is "Man-eater". LOL...

hahaha me too!!
I listened to it about 30 mins ago and keep breaking into it now and again.

That Man-Eater song is by Hall and Oates which minnesota man suggested above you...

Watch American Psycho for a pure 80's soundtrack, you'll find some gem's there.

Phil Collins, Early Madonna, Wham, N.K.O.T.B., Soft Cell, New Order..

[Psycho4Bud]

Anything by the Culture Club or good ol' Boy George!

Michael Damian- Rock On
George Harrison-I Got My Mind Set On You
Debbie Gibson
Tiffany
The Top Gun Soundtrack
Eddie Money
Flock Of Seagulls-I Ran (OMFG, that was SUCH a cheesy song)
Night Ranger- this is more of a hair band that white trash liked, but was a total stereotype of '80's hair bands, so I think this would count as "cheesy"
Bon Jovi
Whitesnake
Red Ryder- Lunatic Fringe
Foreigner
REO Speedwagon
Journey


I can't think of any more, but there are *tons* more out there

[Radio Caca]

Joy Division, Joy Division, Joy Division. I guess technically they "ended" in 1980 and where around in the late 70's but I consider them 80's cause they got the whole new wave and post punk scene going...

Tears for Fears - ANYTHING
Corey Hart - Sunglasses At Night
Hall and Oates - Out of Touch
Cutting Crew - (I Just) Died In Your Arms
Mister Mister - Broken Wings

Here's the best song from the 80's if you want a classic, Ghost Town by the Specials click link if you have never heard it.

If you want cheesy then try, Joe le Taxi by Vannessa Paradis which incidentaly is the worst music video ever by a long way it can also be found on you tube.
