I've been listening to lots of 80s music lately, and made a mix of 80s songs.
However, I left out Prince. I couldn't decide on the perfect Prince song to add in the mix. I'm leaning towards "Little Red Corvette." But, I might go with "Let's Go Crazy."

Here is my mix so far:

Sussadio - Phil Collins
Neutron Dance - The Pointer Sisters
Two Tickets to Paradise - Eddie Money
Higher Love - Steve Winwood
Just Got Paid - Johnny Kemp
Shakedown - Bob Seger
In Deep - Charlie Sexton
Baby Don't Forget My Number - Milli Vanilli
Blame It On The Rain - Milli Vanilli
I'm Gonna Miss You - Milli Vanilli
Billie Jean - Michael Jackson
Another Part Of Me - Michael Jackson
I Can't Wait - Nu Shooz
Father Figure - George Michael
Hoodja - Todd Rundgren
You Belong To The City - Glen Frey

little red corvette is a great choice...but id go with either i would die for you or when doves cry.

I'd pick I Would Die 4 U also..not played out as those 2...its short and sweet too.

2 Tickets is actually from the 70's.
I'd pick When Doves Cry. It seems to fit your list better.

All my mates who hate prince all seem to love controversy!

In All My Dreams

With your list it could only be When Doves Cry or Kiss.

What kind of 80's CD is that without Madonna!?!?

GET WITH IT!!!

no 'Take On Me'?

"Let's Work" ??

I had "Holiday" but I ended up cutting it off for something else. I'm thinking of swapping "Another Part Of Me" for "Hit Me With Your Best Shot." I'd also like to add, "Who Can It Be Now?"

I would say "When Doves Cry" but that's not really fair to the rest of the songs.

Unless you are a diehard Milli Vanilli fan I'd just leave Baby Don't Forget My Number. I'd try to keep it at one song per artist, but that's just me. I like the idea of HMWYBS over APOM and YES WCIBN is an 80's gem....add that one!! Holiday would've been a nice addition also...

Not to be nit-picky but didn't Just Got Paid come out in the 1990?? Even if it did, I'm sure it was written and recorded in the 80's.

If you want an 80's hit, go for "U Got The Look." Many of the other classics have been played to death already.

I love the '80s. How about "Jeopardy" or "Too Shy"? Some Duran Duran, maybe "Union of the Snake" or "Wild Boys"? As far as Men at Work goes, I'd take "Down Under" over "Who Can It Be Now?" any day.

For a Prince hit, I'm partial to "I Could Never Take the Place of Your Man." "Alphabet St." would also work. You could also try a b-side... maybe one of the big 3 ("Erotic City," "She's Always in My Hair," or "17 Days").

"Just Got Paid" was released in 1988.

We are boycotting Prince, remember?
