80's Music Recommendations?

[WaReZnIkKi]

:helpme: Looking for 80's music. Something upbeat that I can blast while cruising down the street in my '79 Trans Am. Tha 2 songs that come to mind are:

Billy Idol - "White Wedding"
Flock of Seagulls - "I Ran"

I'm looking for more of the same.... Think GTA Vice City. Any recommendations?

 

[Opatagio]

Alice Cooper - Poison is damn cool.. dont know if its that good for crusing though?

oh just remember Guns 'n' Roses got loads of cool cruising songs. Paradise City, Sweet child 'o mine (not sure of that one).

How about these:

Kenny Loggins - Heartlight
Yes - Owner of a lonely heart
Foreigner - Urgent
Helen Schneider - Rock'n Roll gypsy
ZZ Top - Gimme all your lovin'
Robert Palmer - Addicted to love
Iron Maiden - Run to the hills
Loverboy - Turn me loose

I guess what you're searching for is more 70s music than 80s. :banger:

:hatsoff: Jackson
