It’s a homemade campaign. I might write it out at some point.
]]>Deff Leppard (they formed in 1977, but they are still quintessentially 80’s rock.
Twisted Sister if you want more serious hairspray rock.
Bon Jovi’s early stuff is more 80’s than the 80’s actually were.
Just get the Top Gun Soundtrack and the Dirty Dancing soundtrack for all the 80’s cheese you’ll ever need (although Dirty Dancing has less 80’s music on, it’s a nostalgia thing!).
Blondie (you can’t have an 80’s collection without Blondie – Heart of Glass anyone?)
ZZ Top (who gave you half the Back to the Future soundtrack)
John Parr (Specifically, St. Elmo’s Fire)
Duran Duran
U2’s earlier stuff.
Tears for Fears if you wanna choke on sheet cheese
The Police (some vintage Sting classics)
Poison
Aerosmith’s early stuff
The Bangles for some girly pop of the 80’s
Starship
Eurythmics (can’t remember if 80’s or 90’s… either way, awesome!)
Spandau Ballet
Foreigner (I wanna know what loooove iiiisss…. classic)
Heuy Lewis and the News (It’s hip to be square… yeah!)
The Human League (don’t you want me baby… whooooooaaa!)
A Flock of Seagulls (I ran so faaaaarrrrr, I ran so far awaaaaaay!)
Erasure (Give a little Respect, Stop, Ship of Fools… all great!)
and for some seriously cheesy 80’s, Culture Club and Wham.
That should keep you going for a while! It’s not that I miss 80’s music or anything… I’m totally… err… reading my Dad’s Records collection… err… or something. Now if you’ll excuse me, I have to go put more hairspray in my four foot of hair. Where are my shades?
I wear my Sunglasses at night, doo be doo….
