Good 80s music????

November 16th, 2008

Posted by admin in hip hop |

I like a few 80s songs, but i want to expand my iTunes Library. I only know a few songs like "Its Tricky, I Want You To Want Me" and a few like that. My favorite-now music is Alternative, Pop, some Rock (not heavy metal) and a little bit of Hip-Hop. Any suggestions to good songs or your favorites???

The songs would be way too long too list, so try these 80's bands. ;)

- The Cure
- Tears For Fears
- Motley Crue
- Quiet Riot
- Queen
- The Spandeau Ballet
- Billy Idol
- Cyndi Lauper
- Prince
- Twisted Sister
- Poison
- Kiss
- Depeche Mode (?)
- Madonna

I hope I helped.
