creating an 80s compliation cd..

[Beach Hut]

If it's Culture Club should be "I'll Tumble 4 Ya" and DuranDuran should be "Rio".

 

[Beach Hut]

Oh and definitely "Relax"

 

[Beach Hut]

Also nothing from Madonna - love her or leave her she was an 80s Icon.

 

[The Large One]

Culture Club and Frankie Goes To Hollywood should be erased from history, except told as a myth or cautionary tale to young children who don't eat their greens.

 

[bigc]

hehe....I cant argue with Relax

I'm not sure..I prefer Planet Earth to Rio in a way, it sounds more authentic, its slighty less well known too.

I'm a big fan of "I'll Tumble 4 Ya",but I kinda want a mix between well known songs by 80s artists,and slighty less well known.hehe

I was thinking of putting on "Like a Virgin",but I'm not sure if my friend would get the joke,or she may just get offended at me

bless her.lol

Madonna should be in there though BTW Cameo were superb.

I know. its an in joke too, me and the girl I'm making it for danced along to it once, I was so delighted they played it,and went "Its WORD UP!, do you know it?"

she seemed quite insulted and went "course I know Word Up Sam!"

she didnt know "Confusion" by New Order, which came on next though
