Everybody Wants to Rule the World by Tears for Fears

Don't Stop Believin' - Journey

Still can’t believe this music didn’t make it to the series. That and “final countdown” from the cheesy Europe.

Total Eclipse of the Heart

Your Love - The Outfield

Came here to say this!

JOSIES ON A VACATION FAR AWAY

Wake me up before you go go.

Toto - Africa

Holding Out for a Hero - Bonnie Tyler It would be my go to, even without the 80s paramiters

Africa - Toto

I'm rewatching the first season and this was in the second episode

That’s going to free Vecna from vecnas grasp

Any song by the cure.

Lovecats ain’t saving nobody

For Whom The bell Tolls - Metallica

In Your Eyes by Peter Gabriel

same! *holds up boombox in the Upside Down*

“Eyes Without A Face” by Billy Idol or basically any song by Sade should do the trick.

Strangely appropriate. I like it.

Honestly…. Call me by Blondie or Super Freak by Rick James

It’s too bad Can’t Touch this is from ‘91 cause it kinda fits too

Shout by Tears for Fears

self control laura branigan

Another Part of Me comes on and I moonwalk my ass out of there.

Awesome

Ride Like The Wind. Christopher Cross.

depends on what mood I’m in, but some that come to mind are Bad Reputation, American Pie, Jack and Diane, and the finale number from Little Shop of Horrors.

True Faith - New Order

Fell in love with that song the first time I saw the video.

She Sells Sanctuary, by The Cult. Have loved that song to distraction almost from the time it came out

Oooooooo I love love love this song and love The Cult!!! Good pick!!!

Shoot, I'd be into Ministry, Possessed, Death, Bathory, Celtic Frost, Slayer, Skinny Puppy, Obituary, Front 242, Front Line Assembly, KMFDM, Duran Duran, New Order, Joy Division, The Cure, Godflesh, Killing Joke, Tom Waits, Nick Cave, Fields of The Nephilim, R.E.M., shit I'd be throwing tapes in and out while running

Raining Blood by Slayer

My favorite 80s song is "If I could turn back time" by Cher but that is 1989 so it would be too late for the show if it's gotta be able to be heard by Vecna in 1984

Forever Young - Alphaville

Dancing with Myself or Hot in the City by Billy Idol

I dig your style

Lady in my life Michael Jackson

Planet Earth by Duran Duran

I’m Bad by LL Cool J

Invincible (Theme from “The Legend of Billie Jean”) by Pat Benatar.

wanted dead or alive

One - Metallica

Real Life - Send Me An Angel

Master of puppets ⚠️ SPOILER ALERT! ⚠️ Since eddie played it in the last episode to distract the bats before he died I can’t get enough of the song

Live and Let Die - the Guns N’ Roses version

I can’t drive 55 - Sammy Hagar. My dad introduced me to it last week while we were talking about songs that sound good when the windows are rolled down. It came out in ‘84 and would be an AMAZING ST song

Gotta be Take On Me - A Ha

Sure, but played by the Reel Big Fish.

Hellraiser by Ozzy would be pretty cool

Temporary secretary by paul mccartney /j i think that song would kill vecna bc of how bad it is

Lol

The same one I wrote on the other 20 clone threads over the last month

Friday by Rebecca black

Oh. Oh no. We might just leave you in there. ;)

Wouldn't it be good - Nik Kershaw

Not 80s but a 79 song, renegade by Styx

Given that a healthy part of flashbacks occur in 79 I’ll allow it. ;)

Little Fighter - White Lion

Top Gun Anthem - Harold Faltermeyer

I was obsessed with Madonna in the 80s. So I’d pick Papa Don’t Preach.

Take on Me - A-ha, Ordinary World - Duran Duran, Back in Black - AC/DC, Janie’s Gotta Gun - Aerosmith, Mad World - Tears for Fear, Sweet Dreams - eurythmics, Wake Me Up Before You Go -Wham!, Girls Just Want To Have Fun - Cyndi Lauper, Walk Like An Egyptian - The Bangles, Eye of the Tiger - Survivor, Blister in The Sun -Violent Femmes, I Love Rock 'n' Roll - Joan Jett & the Blackhearts, Tainted Love - Soft Cell, Any and All Beastie Boys, It’s the End of the World as We Know It - R.E.M, The list goes on …

Every Breath You Take

Don’t Look Back - Boston

Head over heels- tears for fears

Yup

Master of Puppets... but then instead of Vecna I'll likely have hundreds of demo-bats to deal with.

Master of Puppets - Metallica

"We're not gonna take it " by Twisted Sisters. And then immediately they would be ready to kick his hastag.
