Comment:
110 minutes; for jumpy. my boss frequently asks me to play office dj, and when i ask what he wants to listen to, he always replies with "eighties! yeah!" this reply is typical, considering he graduated in the late 80's from san diego state university (otherwise known as stdsu). as a result, i've decided to make a series of mixes of what i believe are the best of the eighties, excluding most 80's punk rock, since that is an entirely different genre of its own. download available here.ps i realize that some songs were recorded in the 70's but i'm pretty sure that all of these were released, or at least popularized, in the 80's (for example, toni basil's track was recorded in 1979 but not released until 1982).
Feedback:
Interesting combination of legitimately good music (Talking Heads, Cure), campy classics with kitsch value (Rick Springfield, Soft Cell), and terrible songs that no one should ever have to hear again (Foreigner, Starship).
hehehe.. lots of fun stuff here... even if PopKulcher might be right...
what makes popkulcher's categorization is who puts what where. i think the majority of this falls in the terrible category but i like straight up so who would listen to me?
Step off Starship, Kulcher! That song and "Mannequin" are cruxes of my childhood :) Although I would agree that there are some abominations in there, "Down Under" most of all. It's a good day when I unavoidably hear that song and manage not to vomit. But then I guess everyone has their horrible '80s choices - now there's a mix idea right there. Except you'd never listen to it. Maybe just a list, then. Anyway, most of this is prime cut
This has to be commended simply because it has both Big Black and Milli Vanilli on it.And it starts with Phil Collins.If that ain't enough to want to rip your ears off.....From the sublime to the ridiculous and lots of unnameable places inbetween.Yeh and I like Straight Up too.
