Fun! Thank you! ....I can see already that I'm going to be building more than one 80's mix CD.

you gotta have "girls just wanna have fun" and "like a virgin"

and what about "never gonna give you up" by ABC and "Holiday Road" by Lindsay Buckinham (I think)

Argh, I'm terrible about naming things in a vacuum, sorry! Here are a few I can remember:

Heaven, Brian Adams
Moon Over Bourbon Street, Sting
Take on Me, Aha
The Riddle, Nik Kershaw

Walk like an Egyptian by The Bangles
Heaven is a place on earth by Belinda Carlisle
A lot of U2 stuff... They even have a best of the 80s-90s CD collection!
Oh there was a singer named Tiffany too... one hit wonder I think.
Wham
Prince

80' beats

If you have access to PlayStation 2, get a hold of GTA 3: Vice City Stories. It has excelent, though maybe bit sarcastic, selection of 80's tracks. They are so horrible that playing the game is sometimes hard..
