drahkon Posted May 25, 2017 Posted May 25, 2017 Looking to create a playlist with 80s/90s pop/rock/hip-hop songs for a party and could use some help. Give me your favourite songs from that era, not matter how obivous they might seem.

bob Posted May 25, 2017 Posted May 25, 2017 Guys, remember he's German so he'll be needing these German classics: 99 Luftballoons - Nena Kraftwerk - Computer love Looking for freedom - David Hasselhoff
MoogleViper Posted May 25, 2017 Posted May 25, 2017 Guys, remember he's German so he'll be needing these German classics: 99 Luftballoons - Nena Kraftwerk - Computer love Looking for freedom - David Hasselhoff And let's not forget the German classic: Take my breath away - Berlin
Sméagol Posted May 25, 2017 Posted May 25, 2017 Guys, remember he's German so he'll be needing these German classics: 99 Luftballoons - Nena Kraftwerk - Computer love Looking for freedom - David Hasselhoff I may offer some serious suggestions later, but I'm more of a soul / jazz / disco / house guy myself.
sumo73 Posted May 25, 2017 Posted May 25, 2017 (edited) Guys, remember he's German so he'll be needing these German classics: 99 Luftballoons - Nena Kraftwerk - Computer love Looking for freedom - David Hasselhoff It's in English but from a German group so fits in with the post, from 1991- Edit : I didn't realise it when I originally posted this but Naar already mentioned this song in his list above. Edited May 31, 2017 by sumo73
drahkon Posted May 25, 2017 Author Posted May 25, 2017 Well, 73 songs in the playlist for now. 4 hours 56 minutes. I've had this on shuffle for the last 3 hours...even I feel old now Listened to Stayin' Alive by Bee Gees today while walking around town. God, it's difficult to walk normally when the songs on...couldn't help but snap my fingers, nod my head and smile like a moron
Beast Posted May 26, 2017 Posted May 26, 2017 Ghostbusters. This is my contribution. This is life and is all you need! Sent from my HTC One_M8 using Tapatalk
Shorty Posted May 26, 2017 Posted May 26, 2017 (edited) Needs more obvious 90s options: Bonus: Edited May 26, 2017 by Shorty
bob Posted May 26, 2017 Posted May 26, 2017 Y'know, i've heard that song hundreds of times, and i always thought Scatman John was black...
Sméagol Posted May 26, 2017 Posted May 26, 2017 (edited) Tried not to double post stuff.. Some dance, but I left most disco / soul / classic house / 90s dance out (except for a few, can't help myself). Classic house and 90s dance would be easier for me to suggest though. That's Rosario Dawson. That's more dance (-related) stuff than I inititally intended, I'll stop now. Have a rock song from 2002: Edited May 27, 2017 by Ashley
Naar Posted May 27, 2017 Posted May 27, 2017 Now i cant visit this thread anymore. =[ Is there a way to disable youtube embedding? Turning it into a link or something...
Ashley Posted May 27, 2017 Posted May 27, 2017 Well embedding is supposed to prevent the need to click a link to view, but I've put all those under a spoiler tag.
EEVILMURRAY Posted May 27, 2017 Posted May 27, 2017 Well, 73 songs in the playlist for now. 4 hours 56 minutes. I've had this on shuffle for the last 3 hours...even I feel old now Listened to Stayin' Alive by Bee Gees today while walking around town. God, it's difficult to walk normally when the songs on...couldn't help but snap my fingers, nod my head and smile like a moron Find yourself the N-Trance remix, as well as their rendition of Do Ya Think I'm Sexy. I'll be back with more boombastic (there's another) ideas when I get on my PC.
Grazza Posted May 27, 2017 Posted May 27, 2017 (edited) A few other ideas... 1980s: Swing Out Sister - Breakout Scritti Politti - Wood Beez (Pray Like Aretha Franklin) 1990s: Chaka Demus & Pliers - Tease Me China Black - Searching Ace of Base - All That She Wants Take That - Pray Aswad - Shine (Not sure if reggae's allowed, but they make me feel like the '90s so much.) Those last five really take me back to being 14 or so at the local roller disco! Edited May 27, 2017 by Grazza
Sméagol Posted May 27, 2017 Posted May 27, 2017 Noooooo my post is forever tainted. Here have another one: Don't you dare spoiler that one!!!
