Please complete my 80s playlist

Hi guys, this is my first time posting here. I want to create a kick-a$$ 80s songs playlist for listening in my car as I am absolutely bored with all the songs in the radio right now and also all the CRAB in my car. Right now I only have 3 tracks, so I seek your help in completing my playlist by suggesting 80s songs that have the same "mood" as the ones that I have. Thank you in advance!:tramp:


1. Dancing in The Dark - Bruce Springsteen
2. Jump - Van Halen
3. We Built This City - Starship
 
U2.....I will follow (I hardly listen to the crappy radio but I just heard this song today)

And Zarko.....sorry I'm still stickin with Girls on Film.......just a difference of opinion :)
 
So many to choose but here's my top 5 -
Jam - That's Entertainment
Human League - Don't You Want Me
Eddie Grant - Electric Avenue
Cyndi Lauper - Girls Just Want To Have Fun
Gary Numan - Cars
 
fngh. beat me to level 42. but could i hurably suggest this punchy 80's classic with possibly the finest music video committed to celluloid. seriously.

and this. bonus - it's introduced by fellow Scot Ivor Cutler, if that makes any difference
 
Karma Chameleon -- Culture club
Summer of '69 -- Bryan Adams
Heaven is a place on earth -- Belinda Carlisle
Come on Eileen -- Dexys midnight runners

just to name a few....
 
So it's basically like any compilation of 80s music that we've heard thousanRAB of times? Then I would suggest something like this .. Most of these guys had more than just one hit in the 80s, so you can choose something else from them.

Alphaville - Forever Young
Sandra - Maria Magdalena
Bon Jovi - Livin' on a prayer
Madonna - La isla bonita
Talk Talk - It's My Life
Nik Kershaw - The Riddle
Cutting Crew - (I just) Died in your arms
Yes - Owner of a Lonely Heart
Men at work - Land down under
Falco - Der Kommisar
The Clash - Rock the Casbah
The Bangles - Walk like an egyptian
Billy Idol - White Wedding
Lenny Kravitz - It ain't over 'til it's over
David Bowie - Let's Dance
Wham! (Or George Michael) - Careless Whisper
Foreigner - I want to know what love is
Kenny Loggins - Danger Zone
The Pointer Sisters - I'm So Excited
Sabrina - Boys
Tears for fears - Everybody wants to rule the world
Nena - 99 Luftballoons
Toto - Africa
Whitesnake - Is this love
Kylie Minogue - Locomotion
Limahl - Neverending Story
Frankie goes to Hollywood - Relax
Kim Wilde - You keep me hanging on
Run-DMC - It's Tricky
Whitney Houston - How Will I Know
Midnight Oil - BeRAB are burning
Rockwell - Somebody's watching me
Grandmaster Flash and the furious five - The Message


I could suggest stuff like Dio's Holy Diver, but it's too good for such a list. Or - you could just get a "hits from the 80s" CD.
 
Here are some great 80s tunes to listen to in the car:

Starship - Nothing's Gonna Stop Us Now
B52s - Love Shack
MJ - Billie Jean
Genesis - Invisible Touch
Duran Duran - The Reflex
Diana Ross - Upside Down
Irene Cara - What A Feeling
Kenny Loggins - Footloose
Queen - Another One Bites The Dust
Taylor Dayne - Tell It To My Heart
Belinda Carlisle - Summer Rain
Eurythmics - Sweet Dream (Are Made of This)

Let me know if you want some more!
