Prisoner416's 80's play list

[Prisoner416]

Feel free to add your thoughts and comments on the song choices. The first three are songs I would most like to see in game at some point, and the first two seem like they'd be good for all instruments including keys.

99 Luftballoons- Nena
Love Missile F1-11- Sigue Sigue Sputnik (Can't find a good version of the original mix without the music video effects mixed in ruining it.)
Kids In America- Kim Wilde version (I hate the version by The Muffs, personally.)
Shout- Tear For Fears
Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go - Wham!
Sunglasses At Night - Corey Hart
Another Brick In The Wall - Pink Floyd
Party All the Time- Eddie Murphy
The Reflex- Duran Duran
Hip To Be Square - Huey Lewis & The News
Smooth Criminal - Michael Jackson
Karma Chameleon - Culture Club
She Blinded Me With Science - Thomas Dolby

First of all, this is the closest i've found to the original mix I found on Youtube of that Love Missile song

As for the songs, well you are right many would suit the game quite well. Being a realist here, there's a couple of songs I can't see being on here for a while due to licensing and exclusivity. Pink Floyd and/or their label don't seem to want to agree on a deal for the masters and Michael Jackson's songs are supposedly currently tied to Michael Jackson: The Experience game.

I don't know if we will ever get Kim Wildes version of Kids in America. I don't recall the game ever getting BOTH a cover of the song (by an original artist) and the original as well.

Culture Club, Duran Duran, Tears for Fears and Huey Lewis & The News are VERY strong possibilities. We already have other songs from them already in the game.

Reasonable possibilities would be Wham, Corey Hart, Rick James and Eddie Murphy though I would hold your breath for them.

Well, we do have a cover and original version for "Fortunate Son" by CCR...

I really, REALLY want 99 Luftballoons at the least though.

I love this.

If you know me well, you know I'm a HUUUUUUGE New Wave and 80s fan.

Also Kudos to you for giving the Sigue Sigue Sputnik song some love. and hell yes Thomas Dolby

We have actually. We got Johnny Cash's Ring of Fire as well as Social Distortion's cover.
