    Okay, so we're getting the band back together.
    But they all want to do an 80's revue type of band this time around.
    I had a look at the proposed set list today and absolutely cringed!!!

    So what I'm hoping from you, dear posters is that you will list your favourite songs from the 80's. COOL SONGS from the 80's. Stuff you would like to hear a band play on a night out at the pub.

    I'm hoping to prove to my band mates that no one wants to hear the tripe they've listed.

    So lets hear from you, the audience! What's your 80's request?
