What's your favourite track from the '80s?
I'm putting on an '80s night at a club round these parts and I need some new blood. I have all my favourites but I don't want to run out of tracks . Also thought you might like to get a track played in your honour...
Any style - pop, disco, electro, breakdance, hiphop...
Just one or two please, no discographies please (dog

Trom: Dude, there are so many great tracks to list.
But I'll say (knowing that i'm excluding The Smiths & Echo and the Bunnymen who are two of my absolute favourite bands):
The Clash: Rock the Casbah
Simple Minds: Dont you forget about me.

Acid - some dodgy choices there
Dan - i will have a good think about the last track and HOAX is a great name for a night.

Ooh you gotta have some Hip Hop! I guess you'd already thought of some tracks (like the ones I played you
that time LOL)
Here's a few pointers:
Let the music play - Shannon (to start?)
The Show - Doug E Fresh (god this reminds me of my last day at school!)
Bang Zoom - Roxanne Shante (for the comedy factor)
Planet Rock - Afrika Bambata
The message - Grandmaster Flash (always goes down well!)
For cheesy 80's girly pop, you can't beat Cyndi Lauper - Girls just wanna have fun, The Bangles - Manic Monday or even Madonna and Holiday
I also really like Waves by Blancmange which might fit well in an electronica-leaning set...

If we all choose three different Smiths tracks each, you'll have to change it to a Smiths night.
Here's my 3:
That Hoax isn't Funny Anymore
Hoax Soon is Now?
Heaven Hoax I'm Miserable Now
I'll get me coat...
