Subject: 80s disco classics

Written By: mitchie on 07/28/03 at 10:53 a.m.

???

Help I am looking for song titles for a "deep" 80s classic mix.
By this I mean songs like
New Order - Blue Monday
Shannon - Let the music play
Tears for Fears - Shout
etc...

If you know anymore like it, let me know.

And also for a more proper disco mix. By this I mean songs like
Shalamar - Make this a night to remember
Indeep - Last night a DJ saved my life

Again: I NEED YOUR HELP.

Thanx
mitchie

:D

What do you mean by a "deep" 80's classic mix? Disco died after the 70's. The 80's was about pop, rock, and metal. Tears for Fears is more like a pop band

By Disco I mean Synthesizer, with a heavy bass line, Tears for fears is pop, but the heavy bass line in Shout is what I am talking about. I call it disco, because it is what they used to play and still play in discos here during 80s nights.

Maybe I should have chosen different words, but I didn't know what to call it.

By deep I mean not so happy, like Donna Summer, Shalamar, Shakatak, etc.

Oh this is easy!!!!! DEPECHE MODE!!!!! Are you looking for stuff to dance to? If so, then two songs definitely come to mind:

Master And Servant - Slavery Whip Mix
Everything Counts (In Larger Amounts)

I'm quite partial to those remixes. :D But you could pretty much go for any Mode song from Construction Time Again onward... (Their first two albums are rather fluffy. Good (bar a couple of songs), but fluffy.)

80s night disco?!  That's tricky because I associate the 70s with disco and the 80s as more New Wave, punk, synthasized, if anything, anti-disco!  Anyway, maybe some Blondie tunes have the old disco beat, and Berlin's, "Sex, I'm a..." that was kind of retro disco.  If you want the 80s synthasize sound, if we can coin the music, would probably be something like "New Wave pop,"  something like Devo would be New Wave tech.  Oh well, just my 2 centavos.

Soft Cell. The early stuff was certainly played a lot in the discos I went to (but then, maybe that tells you a lot about the discos I went to....?  :o )

I disagree a little, because R&B and Soul played a HUGE role in 1980s music and also ruled the Top 40. Maybe 70s Disco died, but I think that the topic starter is using the term "disco" to refer to urban-style dance music. If that's the case, then here's some songs that could help out (It's a pretty large list so bear with me):

Pebbles - "Girlfriend"
Chaka Khan - "I Feel For You"
Evelyn "Champagne" King - "Love Come Down"
James Ingram & Michael McDonald - "Yah Mo Be There"
Billy Ocean - "Caribbean Queen", "Get Outta My Dreams"
George Benson - "Turn Your Love Around", "Inside Love"
Whispers - "Rock Steady", "Tonight"
Babyface - "It's No Crime"
Kool & The Gang - "Victory"
Janet Jackson - "What Have You Done For Me Lately"
Klymaxx - "The Men All Pause", "Meeting In The Ladies Room"
Mary Jane Girls - "In My House"
Prince - "Little Red Corvette"
Midnight Star - "Operator", "Midas Touch"
Sheila E. - "The Glamorous Life"
Timex Social Club - "Rumors"
Sheena Easton - "The Lover In Me"
Sly Fox - "Let's Go All The Way"
Jody Watley - "Looking For A New Love"
Vanessa Williams - "The Right Stuff"
Natalie Cole" - Jump Start", "Pink Cadillac"
The Jets - "Crush On You"
Gwen Guthrie - "Aint Nothin' Goin' On But The Rent"
Jermaine Jackson - "Dynamite"
Grace Jones - "Pull Up To The Bumper"
Deniece Williams - "Let's Hear It For The Boy"
Eddie Murphy - "Party All The Time"
Rick James - "Cold Blooded"


There many more songs that I could give you, but if you want to find some yourself like these, go to www.lostinthe80s.com, and when you go there, click on each year and it will give you that year's most popular disco/R&B tunes. I hope this helps.

I think some of The Cure stuff is danceable (if that's a word)  thinking of A Forest or Love Cats (not sure what years these were though).

Tainted Love - Soft Cell is a classic

No Rest - New Model Army

She Sells Sanctuary - The Cult (plus another that came out around the same time but I can't recall the title).

Erasure is late eighties dancey stuff perhaps not 'deep' enough or poppy enough for you though
