Re: I need cheesey, anthemic, 80's songs
My neighbors & I have a block party every year, and my DJ'ing skills consist entirely of me burning cd's & putting them onto my cd player, and placing my speakers outside. Pretty half assed I know, but it's a fun time.
I've accumulated some decent mix cd's over the last couple years, as I reuse them each time, and add a few more in as well. After seeing The Wrestler, and Ratt's Round & Round, I thought it'd be cool to do an 80's disc.
I'm not really looking for metal, but if it's a good one I'll take it. But also more for Asia's "Heat of The Moment", "Saint Elmo's Fire", Alphayoungs "Forever Young", "Sister Christian" type cult classics.
Please list anything you can come up with.
Thanks,
