dude, it's 7 cds for $40. that's not a donation. plus owning the game should give you plenty of ideas before you made the post.

it did give me plenty of ideas. and ive searched a lot too. i made a list of ~80-100 songs a few months ago, but i am constatly hearing songs that arent on there that should be.

thats why i made this post.

i apologize for not buying a video game soundtrack.

One of my favs has always been Life in a Northern Town by the Dream Academy. I wish iTunes would get on the ball and make it available.

Breakfast Club - Dont you forget about me
Men at Work - land down under & who can it be now
Modern English - Ill stop the world
Madness - Our House
Mr MIster - broken wings
Men without hats - safety dance
Tears for Fears - Shout
Phil Collins - In the air tonight
Loverboy - Turn me Loose
The Clash - Rock the casbah
Hooters - All you zombies & and we danced
Gary Newman - Cars
Fixx - red skies
Fine young cannibals - good thing
Duran Duran - hungry like a wolf
Devo - whip it

Anything, Rush, AC/DC, REO Speedwagon, Alice Cooper, Iron Maiden, Dio,

There are hundreds more I cant even think of.

The 80's were all over the place as far as music goes.

Thats what I did. I searched all the old billboard charts year by year and compiled a great list of 80's tunes.

"don't you want me" (or whatever the actual title is) is probably my favorite 80s pop song. american psycho made sussidio very close though.

Oops - everyone forgot Bonnie Tyler's "Total Eclipse of the Heart".

ERASURE - LITTLE RESPECT!!!!

I was going to say this.

Instead, I will say:

Basically anything by The Smiths or The Cure, but you know that already.

So, um, Depeche Mode, Strangelove.

If anyone cares, I haven't paid for any of the music on my computer, which includes a lot. I don't even remotely care, I understand it's theft but this doesn't bother me. When I personalise it and think of people stealing from me, that makes me feel a little bad. Not bad enough to buy the music that I already have, although I generally do pay for new CDs now that I can.

[astroglide]

i think strangelove is an underrated DM track

I don't know if it was 80's or early 90's, but I like the song a lot. Bonus points if you know what brand used it in a commercial.
Flock of Seagulls - I Ran
Any Duran Duran
Any Sting/Police
Journey - Just Died in Your Arms Tonight
Tears for Fears - Everybody Wants to Rule the World
Tiffany - I Think We're Alone Now
Michael Jackson's Thriller
Bryan Adams - Summer of 69
Big Country - In a Big Country

Some Bruce Springsteen never hurt either
