Depends on the flavour of the 80s we're shooting for.

 

If it's 80s goth/death-rock/post-punk it's gonna be way different than 80s pop/80s anthems. I listen to a lot of stuff from the 80s so if it's any music from the decade it could be a pretty weird playlist. 

Everything on Icy's list makes the cut. And if we are going fairly broad I'd add:

 

Love Action- by the Human League 

Lullaby - the Cure 

Smalltown Boy- Bronski Beat 

Bigmouth Strikes Again- The Smiths 

Kinky Afro - Happy Mondays

I wanna be adored - the Stone Roses 

Transmission - Joy Division 

Schizophrenia - Sonic Youth 

Star Power - Sonic Youth 

West End Girls - the Pet Shop Boys

Guess Who's Coming to Dinner - Black Uhuru 

Night Nurse - Gregory Isaacs

Murderer - Barrington Levy

Here I am - Barrington Levy

For Whom the Bell Tolls- Metallica

Ride the Lightening - Metallica

Just Like Honey - Jesus and Mary Chain

Taste the Floor - Jesus and Mary Chain 

Sacrifice - Bathory 

Necromancy - Bathory 

Fuck the Police - NWA (because of course)

Blew - Nirvana

The Cutter - Echo and the Bunnymen

It's funny-- I know full well and good when Appetite For Destruction came out, but when I think 80s, I think more of New Wave and pop.

Point being I have an 80s playlist, and a Hair Metal playlist...
