best pop songs ever, 80's on mixtape
By 
Introduction
my list for the best pop songs for me. this list has survived 3 different ipods
1
New Order - Ceremony
Substance version. The last Joy Division song is my favorite New Order song. I based my old band around this song. pure perfect
2
The La's - There She Goes
this is such a "cheesy" song, but it's just amazing. when a song is pure chorus, you know it's good. plus it's about heroin addiction, delightfully deceiving
3
Queen featuring David Bowie - Under Pressure
i can't believe my chemical romance destroyed this song last year. no one can even come close to freddie or bowie's voice
4
My Bloody Valentine - What You Want
underneath the noise is an amazing pretty song
5
The Pixies - Here Comes your Man
I hate the pixies. i just do, but this song is an exception. great guitar line. they got it right here
6
Paul Westerberg - Dyslexic Heart
best song westerberg has ever written, solo or replacements
7
Badly Drawn Boy - Silent Sigh (Original Mix)
8
David Bowie - Heroes
9
Wilco - Handshake Drugs
I guess being high on valium all the time pays off eventually
10
The Clash - Lost In the Supermarket
i lost my love for the clash, they'll always be there, but not right now
11
Ride - Twisterella
dance shoe gaze, what more can be said
12
The Sundays - Summertime
13
James - Say Something
14
Smashing Pumpkins / James Iha - The Boy
Iha's pumpkins songs are so good
15
Spiritualized - Ladies and Gentlemen We are Floating in Space
16
The Smashing Pumpkins - Luna
great ending.
5 stars for the Clash.... subtract 2 stars for Pumpkin's..... sorry.
Wilco is good too :)
Wilco is good too :)
There She Goes by The La's is about heroin use. Is that cheesy? And Wilco? Badly Drawn Boy? Great choices but not something I would include on an 80's mixed tape...because they are not 80's artists.
You've lost your love for the Clash? What? Go listen to Sandinista and get it back!!
it's not an 80's mixtape. it's a mixtape from the 80's - present.
