80's songs on your Ipod

[JBDJ]

What 80's tunes ( the more obscure the better, most peeps will have the obvious ones) do you have on your Ipod?

At the moment i have the following

Two Tribes (12" mix) - Frankie
Lone Ranger - Quantum Jump
The Upstroke (12" mix) - Agents Arent Areoplanes (SAW's first ever track)
Touch by Touch - Joy
Dreamtime - Daryll Hall
Rock Me Amadeus / Vienna Calling (12" versions) - Falco
Mamma Told Me (12" version) - Fantastique
Slice Me Nice (12" mix) - Fancy
Sun Always Shines on TV - A-ha
Rise - Public Image Ltd


These are just a few as i have aprrox 2 gigs worth of classic 80's tunes, but it'l be interesting to see who else has what.

Any advances???

It'd make a humdinger of an 80's compilation album folks, even with the soft drink advert tune !

my 80's tunes of choice on my 'ipod'

Apologies if they are waaay obscure for the most part.


XTC-dear god
Revco-Beers and steers and queers
Fuzzbox-International rescue and Love is the slug
Timbuk 3- Future's so bright (I gotta wear shades)
Stump- Charlton heston (put his vest on)
King Trigger-River
Bauhaus-Bela Lugosi's dead
Cure-Close to me and Lovecats
Visage-Fade to grey
To name but a few
And for some bizarre reason I have Murray Head's rendition of One night in Bangkok. Mind you, it is quite a catchy little number with lot's of 80's hooks (singing in foreign languages, panpipes etc.)

Visage - Fade To Grey!!!!!!!!!! BRILLIANT TUNE!

[JBDJ]

Well guys, i have decided to name one of the shows on Obsession FM after this post as there are sooo many great tunes that need to be played.

check out the website for details

[gturner200561]

Yeah unfortunatley he died in 1995 from an Aids related disease.
Apparently he lip synced on Tarzan Boy for some Italian Singer who wrote the song.

[JBDJ]

with regards to this thread, as i have named one of the shows on Obsession FM after this thread, i have decided, that everyweek i shall select a post and play the songs mentioned on that particular post of songs that are on the users Ipod on the show, so that we can all hear what everyone else are listening to.

So keep those posts coming.......

Zodiac Mindwarp (and the love reaction) Prime mover
Pop will eat itself Beaver Patrol
siousxie and the Banshees Happy house, Spellbound

Run DMC (with aerosmith) Walk this way
Bow Wow Wow I want candy
Sisters of Mercy This corrosion
B 52's Rock lobster
Bauhaus Ziggy Stardust
Thomas Dolby (anything by this guy is fantastic and I have most of the greatest hits on my 'pod)

hope that gives you a few more to go on
