Best '80s/'90s pop


My wife has a (round number) birthday coming up and I'm planning a party. This is her nostalgia music (but not mine)and I'm trying to come up with a band for her party, but I'm at a bit of a loss trying to figure out what they should play. Dancing is the key here and I know that the English Beat will be one data point. Suggestions on others?

Are you looking to buy some compilations.

Old School Nation series by Hi-Bias is good - very well mastered.

I also like the Ben Liebrand Grand 12 Inches series (lots of extended mixes)

Another good one is Richard Blade's Flashback Faves series.

After the fire, Tears for Fears, Duran Duran, Thompson Twins, Frankie Goes to Hollywood, Simple Minds, Tommy Tutone, Madness, Ultravox, Siouzie and the Banshees, New Order, Fine Young Cannibals, Men at Work, Grace Jones etc etc.
