Status: offline 		I've been listening to all my 80's music today (so many great memories) and was wondering what three 80's songs you would make sure to include if you were making a mix cd for a friend?

My three would be:

1) Modern English -"I Melt With You"
2) Human League - "Fascination"
3) INXS - "Don't Change"

Flock of Seagulls - Space Age Love Song

Nina - 99 Red Balloons

XTC - Generals and Majors

1.  Purple Rain - Prince
2.  The Wall - Pink Floyd
3.  Take This Job and Shove It - Johnny Paycheck (actually, I think that  might have been '78 or '79, but it's close enough.

There should be a consitutional amendment banning this song from ever being played again. There was a local radio station that offered an "80's All Request Lunch" program. They would play this song every day. One day the DJ came on and said, "Call with your requests, but don't request Come on Eileen because I am never playing this song again." I laughed so hard after I heard this. I don't mind the song but it agrivates me to no end.
