(Finished June 16th, 2024) Part 4 of the Definitive Songs, Albums, Soundtracks and Musicians of the 80s, 1981

Hello,

I have nothing to do with this Kickstarter project, I'm not even a backer. Of course I would love to see this movie but it's not important enough to me that I'll contribute to it.



What does it take to have the most and best representative music of the 80s? There are several groups that need to be represented. We need at least one song by Madonna, Michael Jackson, Duran Duran, Cyndi Lauper, Def Leppard, INXS, U2, Elton John, Billy Joel, Journey, Styx, Billy Idol, REO Speedwagon, The Smiths, The Police, Sheena Easton, The Thompson Twins, Motley Crue, Poison, Warrant, Guns N' Roses, ZZ Top, David Bowie, Tears For Fears, Lionel Richie, Whitney Houston, Foreigner, Heart, Bon Jovi, Bob Marley and the Wailers, The Bangles, The Go-Go's, Bryan Adams, The Pointer Sisters

We need at least one song from from the genres of rock, pop. hair metal, rap, soul, new wave, also needed a quirky or goofy song or two, at least a smattering of one hit wonders

We also have to have a representative sample of the best 80s CDs: the much underappreciated INXS with "Kick", AC/DC's "Back In Black", ZZ Top's "Eliminator" and "Afterburner", Billy Joel's "Glass Houses", Bruce Springsteen's "Born In The USA", Dire Straits "Brothers In Arms", Def Leppard's "Pyromania" and "Hysteria", Foreigner "4", Peter Gabriel's "So", 

We also have to have a representative sample of the best 80s soundtracks "Pretty In Pink", "Purple Rain", "Footloose", "Top Gun", "Flashdance", "Breakin'", "Less Than Zero", "Dirty Dancing", "Fame", "Urban Cowboy", "The Last Boys", Batman the Prince soundtrack, Batman the Danny Elfman score, "Urban Cowboy",
