I need some classic 80's 90's music recommendations, I know the songs but can't think of the names...

I want the stuff I remember hearing as a kid, the popular stuff, the good stuff


any help?

For me classic 80's/90's stuff is Metallica, Guns n Roses, Iron Maiden, Chillies etc sry but song titles would take too long to include

 

[Korgoth]

nah not necessarily rock, per se' but more popular music of the 80-early 90 period

(ex. 99 red balloons)


(i thinks thats the name of the song lol, stuff like that.)

 

[Evo]

Ah, if your talking the more popular chart music stuff i have no ideas for you, sorry mate

a-ha - take on me
Spandau ballet - gold
Michael jackson - Thriller
Berlin - take my breath away
Gary Numan - Here in my car
(some 80's cheesey classics that instantly remind me of 80's)
There are loads of others hehe.

Wouldn't the GTA games be the perfect inspiration here?

Dunno. I don't listen to much 80's. 80's, first bands that come to mind are aerosmith, Rush, AC/DC, Boston, and Duran Duran.

But for other era's, Cream rules. Hands down, my fav band. The Who also. The Who rules!!!
