"Cut Off Time"

Electrik Red
"Glamorus Girl"
"So Good"
"Friend Lover"

Britney Spears
"Lace & Leather"
"Boys"

Chris Brown
"You"

Private
"We Got Some Breaking Up To Do"
"My Secret Lover"

Chromeo
"(All of their Music)"

Basement Jaxx
"Oh My Gosh"
"Breakaway"
"Crazy Girl"
"Hush Boy"

Tweet
"Make Your Move"

Bumper
"All of their music too"

Mgmt
"Electric Feel"

Van Hunt
"..1 Of My Desires"

Maroon 5
"If I Never See Your Face Again"
"Makes Me Wonder"
"Until U're Over Me"

.....more please....

La Roux sound very 80's to me. The debut album's not out yet, but a couple of singles are. Look for the song "In For The Kill"

the whole Cool Millions album sounds like it came straight out of 1984






then there's Dam Funk





J*Davey- Dollar Or More

Hollywood Holt- Hollywood

Janelle Monae- Lettin' Go!

John Legend- Green Light

Sam Sparro- Hot Mess
Cut Me Loose
Sally
Clingwrap

Tim William- Love Assassin

Trackademicks- WesternSlapademickTenderSmobbinCosmicMusic

Phonte- Halfway

the killers - human

Skalp's instrumental version of "I Don't Care" : http://www.youtube.com/wa...hqylU8ovQY

(ps, the Skalp-clip is music he delivered for Pink Paradise, a French stripclub in Paris.
Therefor it's rated on Youtube as nsfw, though imo it looks quite safe lol )

I thought this discusion was dead! Thank you guys so much..oh yes! New 80's music to listen to Vainandy is missing out on so much new funk!

True..but the lyrical arrangement is reminicent of The Screams Of Passion in my opinion...but yeah..it is alot like a 1979 / 1980 disco funk song.

Keep on keepin on D-Train with Bob Sinclair :

of what a nice song it is. and you're right, the voc arrangement does
sound a bit like screams of passion.

Whats the song title again?

I swear this song was recorded recently:


http://www.youtube.com/wa...4HN5HcGfUk


I mean it sounds EXACTLY like an 80's groove track.
Not like an inspired 80's sound. EXACTLY like 80's.

I'll leave it to singles, except in a few cases, and no more than 3 songs per artist. There have been some great ones posted, and I'll try not to repeat anything. Otherwise, this entire topic could be a devotion thread to Chromeo. Really, this list could be thousands of entries long...
