Hey Guys~
Does anyone have any suggestions for an all out remember when you were in high school... 80's song list? I would love to make a cool riding cd made up of all 80's. So far I have Hungry like the wolf, Prince's Let's get crazy, Michael Jacksons wanna be started something, love and rockets so alive and I could use some more. What do you say? Wanna take a trip back to the past with me? :lol: They love it when I play that stuff.
Keep riding and looking up!

Bon Jovi - Shot through the Heart, Livin' on a Prayer
Wham - Wake Me Up
Mr. Mister - Kyrie
Information Society- Pure Energy
Men at Work - Down Under
Men Without Hats ( I think )- Electric Avenue
Starship - We Built this City
Van Halen - Panama
Harold Faltermeyer - Axle F (from Beverly Hills Cop)
The Police - Syncronicity
Kenny Loggins - Danger Zone
Joe Satriani - Top Gun theme

Last but not least, and I HATE the song, but you can't do an 80's mix without...
Survivor - Eye of the Tiger... (ugh.)

And of course, the Chariots of Fire theme as your cool down.

Rex...Men w/out hats - Safety Dance and Eddie Grant - Electric Avenue. What about that song from Purple Rain (the Prince movie) Jungle Love (or was it called the Bird?). The groups Tears for Fears, Howard Jones, Duran Duran, Ozzy Osbourne, Journey and Chicago really remind me of the 80's (my high school days!).

depeche mode-behind the wheel, people are people, route 66, masters and servants
def leppard-hysteria (awsome climb)
aerosmith-sweet emotions

Spinfreak: I don't think Blondie did "Bette Davis Eyes" or "Funkytown." I think they were done by Kim Carnes and Lipps Inc., respectively.

You guys must know what I am talking about :lol: Did you take a trip down memory lane? :P Those were the days :roll: . Thank you for your help. I have this small group training( similiar to personal training) and we always switch the clubs music to the 80's flash back. We have a blast trying to figure out who sings what. We have a great time! Keep em coming!
