The Lost 80s 2!!!

About a billion years ago (2007 I think), I decided to share some of my favorite fallen-through-the-cracks tunes from the 1980s. While the .zip file no longer exists unfortunately, you can still see the track listing on FurAffinity. At the time I applied a bunch of arbitrary rules to the songs I chose. NOT SO THIS TIME!!!

Yes, right now, for all you guys, FREE, here's just a whole bunch of songs from my nostalgiest decade. Songs that I haven't seen get any kind of revival or reappraisal, and I think they're good/interesting enough to dredge up out of the past and into the sun. Put on your headphones and enjoy!

I'll have to give this a listen O: The only one of these I remember off the top of my head is Jane Child <3

See that's interesting, because I'd never heard of her before a few months ago when a friend recommended her!

I only know it because the song was on the GTA V soundtrack xD On the topic of 80's music, I recommend checking out Alphaville. I got one of their compilations recently and fell in love with it. If you want, I can dropbox it for ya

GTAV? Really? Damn, they DO have good taste in driving music, don't they?

And sure! Let's share all that music!!!

I honestly felt that it was a bit weaker than the previous soundtracks, Vice City and Vice City Stories are my favorites, for obvious reasons xD From your first playlist, Japanese Boy and It's My Life were in those too. Those games really shaped my taste in music, found out about some of my favorite bands through them when I was younger.

Lemme know what you think! And feel free to poke me if you wanna talk more on the topic x3

Danke shoen, dude!

I don't even remember how I first heard about Zapp and Roger. I just remember thinking, "OMFG, it's like if Daft Punk were born black and two decades earlier."

Thanks a lot, this is beautiful!

By the way, I still have the old TheLost80s.zip , downloaded on April 6, 2008. If you don't have it anymore, I could give it to you again. :)

That would be super useful! Thank you! Kanada was asking about it, and I could put it on my own Dropbox and link it here.

...and possibly again soon. I had so many songs for this collection, I might compile a third by Christmas.

Here you are: https://www.dropbox.com/s/xtd4sg8fudw972a/TheLost80s.zi...

And I'd love it if you made a third collection :-)

You're very welcome! Few things get lost in the pit of data that is my hard drive. :)
