Thread: 80's party!!

Hello TTP,

I am planning an 80's (early 90's) party and was trying to thnik of some great songs and ideas for the party. I was also thinking you might want to throw out some ideas at me. I think I am on pause when it comes to the music. Right now I can only think of the chart toppers but I know there are tons of great songs still out there. I would like them to all be up beat and they can vary with genre.

I am also thinking about food and decorations so if you have some NEW ideas to bring to the table then .. BRING em'.

Thanks for your help in advance :9

Ashes to Ashes-David Bowie
Tainted Love-Soft Cell
Footlosse-Kenny Loggins
Holding out for a Hero-Bonnie Tyler

Nine Inch Nails - Head Like A Hole
Nine Inch Nails - Sin
Skinny Puppy - Assimilate
Skinny Puppy - Worlock
Ministry - Stigmata
Ministry - The Land Of Rape And Honey

80's industrial is awesome!

That 80s industrial is good.

What genre is music like Tone Loc, Young MC...
