View Full Version : Hottest Dance Songs of the 80's
A friend is throwing a 80's theme party. So we need some cool tapes. Which songs are essential for the perfect dance-tape? http://www.80sxchange.com/ubb/smilies//PSYCHEDELIC.gif
Here are my own suggestions:
Just Can't Get Enough - Depeche Mode
Blue Monday - New Order
Big Fun - Inner City
Theme from S-Express - S-Express
In Too Deep - Dead Or Alive
I.O.U. - Freeze
Come On Eileen - Dexy's Midnight Runners
Break My Stride - Matthew Wilder
I Feel For You - Chaka Khan
I Can't Wait - Nu Shooz
Forget Me Nots - Patrice Rushen
1999 - Prince & The Revolution
Pump Up The Volume - M.A.R.R.S.
Any other suggestions for my tape(s)?
-Mike
Here are some of my recent faves (they change on a daily basis)
Paul Lekakis - Boom Boom (Let's go back to my room)
Men Without Hats - Safety Dance
Oingo Boingo - Weird Science
Dead or Alive - You Spin Me Round (like a record baby)
Newcleus - Jam On It (I am not sure if this is late 70s or early 80s)
Rick James - Give it to me Baby, or Superfreak (both probably late 70s early 80s )
Don't ask... I have been in a 70's disco phase lately.
Technotronic - Pump Up the Jam or Get Up (before the night is over)
Shannon - Let The Music Play
Soft Cell - Tainted Love (that always gets the crowd going because everyone knows the words)
Violent Femmes - Blister in the Sun (another great sing-a-long)
Sly Fox - Let's Go All The Way
Escape Club - Wild Wild West
there are plenty of Gloria Estefan's songs that are filled with good beats as well (Conga, Rythym is Gonna Get you, etc.)
80s theme party! I wanna come!!!
Hey Sal... you should put together an awesome 80sXchange members only 80's theme party... I would fly to New York for it!!!
Tina http://www.80sxchange.com/ubb/smilies//spin.gif
Sal Collaziano 1-18-01, 01:28 PM Tina.. I do intend on it someday.. I've been thinking of a program/raffle that members can win concert tickets and other prizes. If it works, we'll have something where I can fly people into wherever we have the party. I REALLY want it to happen..
Click the link below to get an idea how this raffle system got started:
http://www.80sxchange.com/ubb/Forum1/HTML/000197.html

Sal Collaziano 1-19-01, 03:19 AM Wow. Great lists! I don't know how you's do it. Well, I suppose I didn't like the mainstream stuff from a ways back.. But hmm.. I think I'm going to start a topic like this with Pop Rock of the 80s.. The dance music that I liked in the 80s wasn't mainstream at all... Here I go!
