deacon blue - real gone kid
dexys midnight runners - come on eileen

You could try:

Men at work - Land down under
Chris Rea - Lets dance
Huey lewis & the news - The power of love

i like the last one!! thanks i will anyone else??

Orange Juice Jones - Walkin in the Rain
Cameo - Word Up / Single Life
Edwin Starr - Contact
Craig McLachlan - Hey Mona
Billy Idol - Hot in the City
Rick (GH)Astley - Never Gonna Give You Up
Kim Wilde - You Keep Me Hangin On
Erasure - A Little Respect
The Communards - Don't Leave Me This Way

Couple more suggestions

Bruce Springsteen - "Dancing In The Dark"
George Harrison - "Got My Mind Set On You"
Billy Joel - "Tell Her About It"
Phil Collins - "You Can't Hurry Love"
Elton John - "I'm Still Standing"

OOoooooohh so cutting

but I like it

OK, its probably old and well worn, but it was new to me anyway

there again, I am old and well worn, but who cares?

Why not try the Flashback 1 + 2 albums or Good Grooving Grandmaster series from Musicfactory? All of them last about one hour and are pre-mixed.

Imagination

The 1985 hit by "Belouis Some" or the group?

I don't know how much research a lot of you guys and girls do but sometimes it's essential, especially when it comes to genres you don't know much about. For 80s - watch VH1 Classic, watch TOTP2, listen to specialist radio stations, buy the Guinness Book of Hit Singles (and read it), look at 80s compilation cds and talk to your customers.

Or simply remember being there...working!!!

I'm impressed you can remember anything at your age. For us youngsters we have to rely on research though!

I remember the 70s..mind u I wish i was a teenager in the 50s n 60s,The music was wicked.I really envy my dad sometimes.

It will catch you up, eventually!!

Another 80s classic: Forever Young - Alphaville (dedicated to Kingy)
