Despite what Mr. Yampell (of "I get my teeth kicked in because I'm sensitive" fame) says, there is plenty of great danceable music from the 80's. Bill Nelson - Every Day Feels Like Another New Drug (Vistamix) Prince - 1999, D.M.S.R, Computer Blue, Controversy (D.M.S.R is the really funky song played at the "party" in Risky Business) Devo - Whip It, Girl U Want, ... B-52's - Rock Lobster, Private Idaho, Give Me Back My Man, Party Out of Bounds, Planet Claire, 52 Girls Ramones - Sheena is a Punk Rocker, Rockaway Beach, ... Vapors - Turning Japanese Tom Tom Club - Wordy Rappinghood, Genius of Love Funkadelic - One Nation Under a Groove (also George Clinton/P-Funk of any kind) David Bowie - Scary Monsters Depeche Mode - New Life, Photograph Dead Kennedys - Holiday in Cambodia, Viva Las Vegas Our Daughter's Wedding - Lawnchairs Michael Jackson - Rock With You, Don't Stop Till You Get Enough (avoid Thriller, as it's overused) That should provide enough for one tape or so. -- Occam's Razor: I liked it so much, I bought the company!
