I'm only 16 and I love older music...but recently i've been listening to a lot of 80s songs. I don't know that many, so I was wondering if anyone could suggest a couple songs?
They can be fast or slow, I don't care. [Smile]

Try some '80s The Cure or REM (before both bands sold out/conformed). I went to high school from '84-'88 and was into the popular music of the time...yes, even hair bands. Bon Jovi, Def Leppard, Poision, Motley Crue, Aerosmith, and Whitesnake were constantly on the radio. So were the copycats like Cinderella and Europe.

Anyways, I missed out on a great (and argueably the best) time for alternative music.

Ok I removed some that I dont care for but its my opinion.
While its a great list I think that there are some glaring omisions
Personally for me insyead of just songs Im going to list albums/CDs
Devo - Freedom of Choice
Genesis - Duke,Abacab and Genesis
Peter Gabriel - Peter Gabriel 1, 2, 3, 4 and So
Talking Heads - Stop Making Sense ( Still regarded by some as the greatest Live album ever)
AC/DC - Back In Black
Aerosmith - Pump and Permanent Vacation
Adam Ant - Kings Of The Wild Frontier,Prince Charming, Freind Or Foe
Pat Benatar - Everything she did in the 80s
The Cars - The Cars , Candy-O , Panorama , Shake It Up , Heartbeat City
Cheap Trick - Dream Police , Live At Budokan(79 I know gimme a break close enough)
Def Leppard - High N Dry , Pyromania , Hysteria
Depeche Mode - The Singles 81 - 85
Dire Straits - Brothers in Arms , Making Movies
The Fixx - Reach The Beach , Shuttered Room , Phantoms
Fleetwood Mac - Rumours(77 I know), Tusk(79), Mirage , Tango in the Night
Flock Of Seagulls - Flock Of Seagulls
I'm just to the Fs and havent even began hitting the lesser known artists. Theres alot of great music from the 80s. Hit www.rollingstone.com and look around their archives.
Although I do want to add these ones real quick
Yes - 90125
Van Halen All of em from the 1st to For Unlawful Carnel Knowledge
U2 - Boy , October , War , The Joshua Tree
I may not have cared for all of the music from the 80s but by god at least you could listen to it and there wasnt all the cursing that they seem to think makes music count today!

I remember back in the '80s when MTV actually played videos 24/7.

Another band you need to listen to is A Flock of Seagulls, and all hair metal.

The cable company here put it on the air almost as soon as it went on the air.. I swear to god I watched 22/7 for 2 years, the only times I didnt watch was when M*A*S*H was on or at midnight when The 3 Stooges was on.Other than that, as soon as I got home from school the TV was on MTV. Boy did my younger brothers and sisters **** and moan about it. [Wink]
