Ultimate 70s/80s Playlist

In this thread I want everyone to post their greatest playlist of cheesey 70s/80s songs or just individual songs to help, just to help get those parties started! :biggrin:

I'll start with a few suggestions- Human League, Huey Lewis, ELO!

Any song by blondie (i like hanging on the telephone, call me and rapture)

Edge of seventeen by stevie nicks (i get chills just thinking of it) :u:

you can go your own way by fleetwood mac

i love rock n roll by joan jett and the blackhearts

Blondie.

Blondie - Atomic
Boney M - Rasputin, Daddy Cool
Earth Wind and Fire - September, Boogie Wonderland
Bee Gees - Stayin Alive
Jackson 5 - ABC
Men Without Hats - Safety Dance, Down Under
David Bowie - Suffragette City
Chic - Le Freak, Good Times
Genesis - Land of Confusion (definitely NOT the best Genesis song, but fits much better with the rest of this list than Suppers Ready!)
Hot Butter - Popcorn

That's all I can think of now in terms of cheesy 1970s music (except for the Genesis track which is from the 80s)

A time I really wish id seen as some of the most heartfelt, stunning music came from the 1970s and 80s. If I was to choose ten songs though, id have to go for:

I hear you knockin-Dave Edmunds

The dean and I- 10cc

Keep on going or landslide by Fleetwood Mac

If you leave by Orchestral Manoevres in the Dark

My Kind of Lady by Supertramp

E Street Shuffle by Bruce Springsteen

When love breaks down by Prefab Sprout

Play that funky music by Wild Cherry

If I was by Midge Ure

Superfly by Curtis Mayfield

Anything by the B52s

•

The Dirty Dancing soundtrack

I reckon adding some of that alone would go the job of making this playlist cheesier than a cheesecake topped with stilton, mozzarella and wotsits.
