80s rock...standout tracks?

[bigc]

I want to create a compliation CD of 80s rock tracks. I just wondered if anyone on here had any suggestion of good tracks to feature on the CD. Obviously I've got loads I'm contemplating, but having other peoples viewpoint helps open it up a bit

 

[Rambo]

Love Walked In - Thunder
Livin On A Prayer - Bon Jovi
What I Am - Edie Brickell
Still Of The Night - Whitesnake
Legs - ZZ Top


Some of my Faves

 

[BRIGHT ON Q]

Here i go again...Whitesnake
Animal.................Leppard
Just like living in paradise.....David Lee Roth
Welcome to the jungle.........GnR
Where the streets have no name.....U2
Crazy Nights...........Kiss
Assassing........Marillion

 

[Strike]

Whitesnake/ Is this love
Robert Palmer/ Addicted to love

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

Any of 'Two Tribes' or 'Relax' or 'The Power Of Love' of 'Welcome To The Pleasuredome'. All by Frankie Goes To Hollywood.

 

[timco]

Start the thing with
Into the Arena - MSG Great storming instrumental guitar to kick it off.

end it with would I lie too you by Whitesnake.

Just so it ends with To get in your pants.

other tracks?
Since you been gone Rainbow
Boneyard - Little Angels
Hey operator - Coney Hatch
Blackheath - Demon (Sing it everytime I go too the garden centre in err blackheath, # Blackheath nothing grows on here!
Here I go Again - Whitesnake
Doctor Doctor - UFO
Juke Box Hero - Foreigner
Night Games - Graham Bonet
Holy Diver - Dio
Heat of the Moment - Asia


But if you limit yourself too the 80's you'll miss out on things like Smokin' in the Boys room - Brownsville Station and loads of other crackin tunes.

[Easy 10]

Billy Idol - Rebel Yell / White Wedding

Skid Row have done some quality stuff but more 90's.

Van Halen - Jump
Motley Crew - Girls Girls Girls
Cutting Crew - 'It Just Crawled Up My Arse and Died' (or something like that!)
Dire Straits - Brothers In Arms (for a bit of mellow)

'In A Big Country' - Big Country

 

[Barnet Seagull]

If we're talking classic Rock, I don't think you can go wrong with

Alice Cooper - Poison
GnR - Sweet Child o' Mine

But then you've got all those power ballad things...

Heart - Alone
Bonnie Tyler - total eclipse

etc.

 

[yorkshire seagull]

Poison - Every Rose has its Thorn
MeatLoaf - Bad Attitude
GnR - Move to the City
Aerosmith - Mama Kin
Queen - We Will Rock You
Status Quo - Caroline
Jim Steinmann - Bad for Good

[JJ McClure]

Iron Maiden
Poison
Cinderella
Metallica (Master of Puppets was late 80s I think)

And the all time classic, Europe - The Final Countdown

no need for Power ballads

unless they are by established rock groups..

 

[SurreySeagulls]

I haven't seen anyone go for Modern Romance or is this the wrong thread

 

[Schrödinger's Toad]

Scorpions - Winds of change
Van Halen - Panama
Def Leppard - Photograph
Queen - I want it all
Bruce Springsteen - Born to run
U2 - Pride (80's?)

 

[Theatre of Trees]

Motorhead - Ace of spades

Bachman Turner Overdrive - You ain't seen nothing yet

 

[Marc]

off the top of my head:

Bruce Springsteen - Born To Run
Europe - The Final Countdown
Bon Jovi - Livin' On A Prayer

tons more that I cant think of right now!

 

[Kinky Gerbil]

Hey micky?
toni basil


no? ok

 

[Lady Whistledown]

I'm sure there are dozens of Now That's What I Call The Best 80s Drive Time Rock Power Ballad Albums In The World Ever Ever Ever Part VII you could take inspiration from.

Or failing that, buy

Personally I'd say Rainbow: Since You've Been Gone would be a good starting point, and a bit of Jump by Van Halen.

Jump reminds me of Crabtree, who I saw dancing around merrily when Bristol City stuck it on just after half time at Ashton Gate
