"OMG play something '80s!"
This IS '80s. Pre-hipster, pre-ironic...
New Wave / Synthpop / Italo-disco / Vintage Electro ... Extended versions, B-sides, modern-day edits, bootlegs,
with subverted visuals and assorted VHS fuzz...
... Experts agree! Even Top 40 was mostly alright in the '80s!
Look, most "'80s Nights" are a dime-a-dozen, thanks to all those dollar store, retro-cheese '80s collections with the same handful of songs that already oversaturated radio and TV thirty years ago. Expect stuff you forgot you ever heard, but somehow remember perfectly once you hear it again.
IT'S NOT A MICHAEL JACKSON MARATHONThis is about the underdog tracks.
"Sweet Dreams..."? ... Nope, more like "Love Is A Stranger", here. / "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun"? ... Nuh-uh, but there's a wicked 12" version of "She Bop" you may get to hear for the first time. / And let me introduce you to Duran Duran's "Night Versions".
...BETTER RESULTS, GUARANTEED.
