Hi!

I need your help. I want to create a couple of 80's dance cds and I need people's suggestions on the best of the 80's dance tunes. Some thoughts I have are Freakazoid, Jungle Love, You Spin Me 'Round. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

definitely Video Killed The Radio Star by The Buggles. You cannot have an 80s dance CD without it.
