The Essential 80s Album take one

Pete put out the challenge so here it is. 

Here are ten songs that should be on an eighties album.  The criteria for these songs was this question:  “If I were a D.J. and had to purchase one eighties album to throw in the mix, what songs would either get the crowd to sing, dance, or say ‘this is our song’?”

These are not necessarily my favorites and I limited myself to only one song per band or singer.

1. Love Shack by B-52s

2. Should I stay or Should I go by The Clash

3. Come On Eileen by Dexby’s Midnight Runners

4. In Your Eyes by Peter Gabriel

5. One Night in Bancock by Murray Head

6. Don’t You Want Me by Human League

7. 99 Loft Ballons by Nena

8. Every Breath You Take by The Police

9. Tainted Love – Soft Cell

10. *groan* Y.M.C.A. by the Village People
