    Organizing a sort of 80's night (it'll probably end up being a 70's night) to raise money for a charity. Unfortunately my knowledge of those periods of music is woeful. So i'm hoping there are some people who could help me conjure some good tracks from the likes of the Beatles, Duran Duran, Tears For Fears, David Bowie, Depeche Mode and Deep Purple etc....? Any suggestions?

    Are you looking for a mixture from the various genres or any genre specifically? 80s dance FTW!

    The Psychedelic Furs: Pretty In Pink

    if you try this one, make sure its the original and not that horrible re-release for the movie of the same name

    If your going for a cheesy pop feel, look up tracklists from the like of "now thats what I call music 1-10", you'll find Adam and the Ants, Tracy Ullman, Culture Club, etc
    Don't forget a slow set! Nothing says the "80's" like slow dancing to "through the baracades" by Spandau Ballet! Ah! :pac:
