With the success of the Killers, the new Duran Duran album, there's been a revival of the early 80s sound. I've got some of my favorites (Berlin, The Fixx, Flock of Seagulls, New Order, Joy Division, The Cure, David Bowie). What bands/songs would you all recommend downloading?

 

I'd imagine that Madonna, Cyndi Lauper, and Michael Jackson would all be required elements of a well-rounded 80's collection.

What about the Bangles, Bananarama (did I spell that right?! ), Rick Springfield, etc...

 

^chick bands :thumbdown:
The only decent song the Bangles EVER made was Hazy Shade of Winter.
Rick Springfield...hmmm (jessie's girl, maybe)

 

Good God - I can't believe I didn't include Bruce Springsteen in my last post!
I'm not a good JerseyGirl w/o mentioning Bruce!

May want to include Chicago & Survivor too....

 

Duh - chick bands from a chick.
Would you expect any less?!
Besides, I was born in '78, so most of the early 80's are a blur....

 

yup, you're just a youngin' I'll have to let you in on some good music when we're on the Slip N' Slide!

 

That's a deal!

 

Here are some of the songs I think are worth hearing...
(1) Question of Lust- Depeche Mode
(2) Sex- Berlin
(3) Relax- Franky Goes to Hollywood
(4)Stripped- Depeche Mode

 

Hmmmmm, is it just me or do those songs have a certain theme to them?

That reminds me of another good song...
Master and Servant- Depeche Mode
