Okay, so somehow I got roped into being the dj for an 1980's themed dance and i need to download some music, so my question to
YOU is if you could pick 3 songs from the 80's you think would be NEEDED for an 80's dance party, what would they be ?
NC:
"Tainted Love" -- Soft Cell
"Maneater" -- Hall & Oates
"Safety Dance" -- Men Without Hats
Q Lazarus - Goodbye Horses
Joy Division - Love will tear us apart
Whitney Houston - I want to dance with somebody
bonus: New Order - Blue Monday (biggest 12 inch single of all time, gotta throw that in there!)
