Need help for 80's night.

I come to you ladies and gentlemen for help once again. I have to run an 80's night on March 8th and, quite frankly, I don't know much of a thing about 80's music. I know most of the popular songs that I usually play during a normal set and that get heavy karaoke rotation (Pour Some Sugar On Me, I Wanna Rock and Roll All Night, Don't Stop Believin', Living On A Prayer, etc...) but I have no idea how I'm going to manage a four and a half hour set.

Now I have a pretty good collection of 80's music. Certainly way more than enough for the set. The problem is, I have no idea what sort of stuff I should play. I don't want to end up playing something by *insert artist here* because I know they were popular in that decade, only to have it turn out that it's slow and has minimal beat. Ugh - 80's music is my kryptonite.

ANY help you folks could provide me would be greatly, greatly appreciated. I wanted to get this post up as quickly as possible to allow myself the maximum amount of time possible to prepare for this potential disaster. :sqerr: As always, thanks in advance.

Let's do this....

Here's my personal top 10 from the 80s

B-52s
Poison
B.B.D.
A-Ha!
Wham!
Prince
Robert Palmer
Salt n Pepa
Envoge
Madonna
Micheal Jackson
Pearl Jam
Motley Crue
Cinderella
White Snake

oops that's more than 10..... folks add to the list of party 80s groups

Thanks for the quick reply, jokerswild. While I know almost everyone on that list, I wouldn't have thought of most of them, so that's a great start! :sqbiggrin:

Keep 'em coming, folks!

Don't forget

Bon Jovi
Warrent
Quiet Riot
Adam Ant
Kajagoogoo (sp?)
Psycadelic Furs
Duran Duran
Hall and Oats



ummmmm I have more.... let me think...

Rob really got it right!

I would throw in Romeo Void's "Might Like You Better" ( If We Slept Together ).... just for being outrageous and to shock a few people's memories.

And absolutely include some Blondie!

For a nice slow toon, "Keep on Lovin' You" by REO Speedwagon, though that may have been early 90's.

EDIT... that is nearly a DREAM gig for me. It almost as good as rolling around in a pile of $50 bills. ;)

oh....

Devo
Georgia Satalites
Men at work
Dyvinyl (sp?)

I have more but I'm brain dead at the moment....lol

Heart
Culture Club
Survivor
Pointer Sisters
Kim Carnes
Donna Summer
Mellencamp
Prince
Tina Turner

Safety Dance.... by Men Without Hats

Tainted Love ... Soft Cell

Come on Eileen.... Dexy's Midnite Runners

Oh yeah papa just reminded me

Joan Jett and the Blackhearts
Tiffany
GoGo's
Sade
Eurythmics
Roxset (sp?)
Love N Rockets
Guns N Roses
Def Leppard
Queensriche (sp?)


oh man the list just goes on and on....

Ahh - thanks guys! I'm going to go through all my stuff and see what I have by the aforementioned artists and sometime between now and March 8th, I'm going to do a dry run of the whole freakin' playlist. Ugh. Better safe than sorry, right?

Papa Deuce: I can't say I've ever had the luxury of rolling around in a pile of $50 bills, although I'm going to go out on a limb and say I think I'd prefer that. Haha.

Keep 'em coming! The more, the better! Thanks again!

Take Me On - A-Ha!
Wake Me Before you Go go - Wham!
Don't Know What You Got - cinderella
Cherry Pie - Warrent

Ok now I have to go rock out.....

BTW, slip in some Old School!

Beastie Boys, Run DMC, Tone Loc, Sugar Hill Gang....

I got a couple of thos as seen on tv disc a few years back. 2 double cd sets "Totally 80's" and "Awesome 80's". You could run a 4 hour set of 80's music just fading back and forth.

Dont forget...

Escape Club (Wild, Wild, West)
Cory Heart (Sunglasses at Night)
Eddie Grant (Electric Avenue)

Mike

Papa REO song entered was in 1981


Yikes.... Well, REO before that song was a favorite of mine. Once that CD came out I was done with them.

To really "WOW" the crowd with your musical knowledge or run them out the door :sqconfused: live on the musical 80s edge with a few of these...thx


http://www.djlex.com/club80s_mixshows.html

but I have no idea how I'm going to manage a four and a half hour set.




Well, it's nice that you have places like this to come to and as always, we're happy to help.

However, there's a lesson here. You took a big risk (at the client's expense) here putting the cart before the horse. It's like contracting yourself to paint a mural and then taking an online course on how to paint one.

That said, you're going to have to be ready to play more than the typical fanfare from those discs you posted. Make sure your fixed for "New Wave" (http://home.comcast.net/~requestline/80newwave.html) and "R&B" (http://home.comcast.net/~requestline/80rb.html).:sqwink:

Good luck.

You forgot the two best ones...

Anything by AC/DC or ZZ Top.

Only a small portion of the AC/DC library fits into the 80s mix Most of their bigest hits are pre-80s

Animotion-Obsession
Frankie Goes To Hollywood-Relax
Human League-Don't You Want Me
Stray Cats-Rock This Town
Violent Femmes-Blister In The Sun
Adam Ant-Goody Two Shoes
Beastie Boys-Girls, Fight For Your Right, No Sleep Brooklyn
Midnight Oil-Beds Are Burning
Def Leppard-PSSOM, Photograph, Hysteria, Love Bites (slow)
Scorpions-Rock Me Like a Hurricane, Still Lovin' You (slow)
Quiet Riot-Cum On Feel The Noise, Metal HEalth (Bang Your Head)
Motley Crue-Girls, Girls, Girls; Looks That Kill
Poison-Talk Dirty To Me, Nuthin' But A Good Time
Bob Seger-OTR&R (from the Risky Business sndtrk)
Tone Loc-Wild Thing, Funky Cold Medina
Young MC-Bust A Move
Run DMC-Tricky
Afrika Bambaataa (sp?)-Planet Rock
Rob Base-It Takes Two
Herbie Hancock-Rockit

I'll try to think of more later.

Your point is very valid. However, those aren't quite the circumstances. It's being held at the bar I play every Saturday night. I'm their in-house DJ that night. It was just tossed on me last Saturday as, "Hey! Just so you know, the 8th of March is going to be 80's night! So make sure you come prepared with 80's music and dressed up like an idiot to fit in!" So it's not a gig that I took, per say. It's my normal Saturday gig deciding to have a themed night, which unfortunately revolves around a decade I wasn't alive for over 1/3 of. :sqerr:

On the other hand, those links you provided me with are great. Thanks a million. I just wanted to clarify the circumstances of the gig. :sqwink:

Well, that's a horse of a different color. You should have mentioned that. Just go have fun and bone up on your 80s. :sqlaugh:

I feel your pain....Enigma.

For the last 1/3 of my life, I've not paid any attention to C/W music....now its come full circle to bite me in the azz.

Fortunately the club owner has provided me with a nice cheat sheet.....

and I've got the last 17 years of RPM Top Hits USA Compact Discs, to provide me with the music!

So I'm gonna do it!!! Muahahhahahaha
