This is going to be a huge collection of a bunch of classic 80's songs. This is mostly for me just so that I have one place that links to all these songs (I dont have an mp3 player). You guys can help out if you would like or you can just make fun of the music. I will focus mostly on pop so you rock guys can cover that.

I am going to start with Hall and Oates cause they are awesome.

Private Eyes

I can't go for that

Maneater - Their biggest hit. You don't get good sax like that anymore.

My favorite of theirs, Out of Touch. All Vice City players know why. Happy

Moving on to one of the biggest bands of the 80's, Tears for Fears

Shout

Head over Heels

Sowing the seeds of love

My favorite, Everybody wants to rule the world.

Time to go down under, here are some Men at Work

Down Under

Who can it be now - More awesome sax.

It's a mistake

Overkill

Some New Order

Blue Monday

Bizarre Love Triangle

Random stuff

Flock of Seagulls - I Ran

Dead or Alive - You spin me right round

Modern English - I Melt with you

Gary Numan - Cars

Devo - Whip It

This is one of my favorites, Dexter's Midnight Runners - Come on Eileen

Much much more to come.

That Seagulls song is the best thing on Vice City. Shame the rest of that album is terrible. Sad

I do hope this is part of your massive update, but the lack of Prince saddens me.

Boy George and the Culture Club. I'm man enough to say I like their music.

Karma Cameleon

Do you really want to hurt me

It's a miracle

Time

I'll tumble 4 ya

And now for a spin off, Jermaine Stewart went from Culture Club to a solo career where he had this hit.

He died in the 90's from AIDS. Sad  Why do I know all this crap, VH1.

Duran Duran (Honestly I like some of their 90's stuff better)

Hungry like the wolf

Rio

A View to a Kill - I had no clue this was the dance into the fire song...

And now some sappy love songs

Foreigner - I want to know what love is

Foreigner - I've been waiting for a girl like you

The Cars - Drive (anyone else find it strange that the biggest hit a band named The Cars had was called Drive.)

Benny Morales - Into the Night ("She's just 16 years old" wait what is this song about?!?!? You are going to do what with her?! )

John Waite - Missing You (Best breakup song of all time. You do get lines like "There is a message I am sending out like a telegraph into your soul" anymore.)

Mr. Mister - Take these broken wings

White Snake - Is this love

Bonnie Tyler - Total Eclipse of the Heart (most epic song ever? Old School version is better)

REO Speedwagon - Keep on loving you

Might as well post some more REO Speedwagon songs

Can't Fight this feeling anymore

Take it on the Run

I may get to him, but I might skip some of the mega stars since everyone knows them. I won't bother with MJ or Madonna.

I cannot believe you just calmly dropped Karma Chameleon in there.

And just walked away.

I'd nominate anything the Dead Kennedys did.  Almost everything else is obvious.

This update will be all about the women of the 80s. You all know Madonna, Janet, Whitney so I won't bother with them.

Never

What about love

Alone

These Dreams

Pat Benatar - Love is a Battlefield

Pat Benatar - Hit me with your best shot

Laura Branigan - Self control (Another awesom Vice City song)

Bananarama - Cruel Summer

Bananarama - Venus

Bangles - Walk like an Egyptian

Bangles - Manic Monday

Cyndi Lauper - Time after time

Cyndi Lauper - Girls just want to have fun (RIP Mario)

Taylor Dane - Tell it to my heart

Paula Abdul before Idol

Straight up

Opposites Attract

Cold Hearted Snake

Blondie - Call Me

Pointer Sisters

I'm so excited

Neutron Dance

Automatic (Vice City certified. Woah what is up with that womans voice... I think there is a surprise downstairs.)

Expose - From Miami. Happy

Come go with me

Let me be the one

Point of no Return - their best song

Speaking of Miami, how about the queen of Miami, Gloria Estefan and the Miami Sound Machine

Rhythm is going to get you

Get on your feet

Dont wanna lose you

1-2-3

Dr. Beat

Conga (everyone has been in a conga line at some point in their life right?)

^ First and third video was great.
