Making sure you cover all your bases, eh?
Always.
LOVE that song... Makes me feel like I'm right back in the midst of the 80's, not a care in the world...
I miss those days.

You could totally count me in.

You young ones probably don't know enough to even participate.
Might be worthwhile as a listener, though. You might discover quite a bit of good stuff.

1978-1982 was arguably the worst period for music until the mid/late 90's. It's been downhill ever since. I maintain that 1966-1976 was a peak of some kind.

Makes mental note not to include The Safety Dance.

I would be scared of the 70s disco play list though
i could come up with 80 minutes' worth of material without even looking at my itunes. no repeat artists.

While I don't necessarily disagree, I don't think it's nearly as bad as you make it out to be. You had a lot of good stuff out there as well. The Clash, Television, Elvis Costello, Joy Division, Split Enz, Ultravox, New Order, Yaz, etc...it really goes on and on.

i wouldn't include disco. just new wave kinda stuff.

No, no, no. We ain't talkin' disco here. As Khan mentioned, strictly new wave-type material, or close to it.

So for the trip I want to take it will cost to fly to and from with a passport, $1,093. I'll have to take a train or get picked up from there. If I go the train route, I'll take lots of pictures for Axver.

While I agree with you for the most part, the fact that you're, what? 16? makes this statement adorable
FUCKING AWESOME.
damn i will make a great playlist.
shit, i already HAVE an 80 minute long new wave playlist sitting on my itunes! i made myself an 80s cd a while back. i can't remember if every song fits the new wave criteria, i just remember the first track is don't go by yaz.

ha, it's been answered. never mind.
Yeah, primarily new wave and/or 80's-type music.
man, that'll be the funnest playlist ever to make. even if we don't do this, i'll love doing it cuz hell, it's not like i wouldn't love listening to that kind of music. i have a new wave megaplaylist for crying out loud!

Don't get handcuffed by the "new wave" term, though. 80's-type music that might not be considered new wave would be ok, I'd think.
That's why the Retro term is better, as it's more broadly defined.

I just don't care for the sound of the time much at all. You can tell if an album was made during that period just by listening to it, and that's never a good thing.
Regardless, yes, Talking Heads, Television, Joy Division, Elvis Costello, early U2, all great. But I can't think of very many classic records that were made during that period, at least not compared to the decade before.

Perhaps later on tonight I'll post a thread in B&C to gauge interest.
oh yeah, i know. what years are we talking about here? just anything that was released in the 80s, or like 78-82 (the worst era ever according to lemel
) or something?cuz especially with new wave, there's american new wave (a broad term applied to pretty much any british band that released music in the very early 80s) and british new wave. then everything else.
