so i'm putting together a compilation for my best friend called "80's music that doesn't suck"

suggestions?

It depends on what you consider as "sucking", but how about ...

REM - It's The End Of The World As We Know It, or Orange Crush
The Smiths - anything really - maybe Panic of This Charming Man or Girlfriend in a Coma
The Pixies - Where Is My Mind?
Joy Division - Love Will Tear Us Apart
New Order - Blue Monday
Bon Jovi - Living on a Prayer
Talking Heads - Road to Nowhere
Billy Idol - White Wedding
A-ha - The Sun Always Shines on TV

there really wasn't much music from the 80's that didn't suck

echo and the bunnymen - the killing moon
REM - the one i love
cyndi lauper - drove all night
the cars - drive
its my life - talk talk
jesus jones - right here right now
something by cheap trick
suzanne vega - luka
the pretenders - dont get me wrong
eurtyhmics - sweet dreams
duran duran - girls on film
MADNESS - OUR HOUSE!!
toni basil - hey mickey
Belinda Carlisle - Heaven Is A Place On Earth
soft cell - tainted love
tears for fears - mad world
the Las - there she goes
dexys midnight runners - come on eileen
ummm......thats all i can think of! - find a song by the Jam too

I can't believe I forgot Tainted Love.

i may have added "sucky"msuic, but i love 80s music, so to me, tis all good although, i accept that toni basils mickey song is about the most annoyign song on the planet bar the hamster song

Europe - the final countdown.

In fact, I'm listening to The Cure's "Just Say Yes" right now!

Was Tiffany from the 80's?
I loved her ..

I think we're alone now
Radio Romance (best song EVER)

Someone already mentioned Cyndi Lauper, she was cool too

I Touch Myself by the Divinyls
You Spin me Around by Dead or Alive

Hmm, I have a whole CD of 80s music I made but it's clear downstairs and i'm lazy so that's all I can think of.

There are some pretty bad suggestions already lol

THE CULT! Get music by the cult!

Billy Idol - Rebel Yell. Even better than White Wedding.
