I need more of this pseudo-80s music

[Pike]

Stuff like this

Basically if it's synth-y and cheesy I want it. GIVE ME MORE.

[Loony BoB]

I don't know what those songs are because I'm at work. Can you name them? I might be able to come up with somethin'.

[Pike]

The artists I named were La Roux, Little Boots and Lady Gaga

[Jinx]

I love La Roux. She's awesome.

Check out Alphabeat, they are way more 80's than any of those three. Not sure how many of their songs are heavy on the synth, though, off the top of my head...

I am sure EVERYONE heard this song, but I love the GTA feel of this song. And no, I am not saying that because it is in the movie Drive.

I'm sure you already know Robyn but:

J294A-R1Cjk

That's all I can think of right now!

[Shoeberto]

Watch the movie Drive and pick out parts of its soundtrack to explore.

Almost anything from Random Access Memories:

Daft Punk feat Todd Edwards - Fragments Of Time - YouTube (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-3bMERyIUWo)

How are Zedd and Madeon 80s sounding? o_O

[Loony BoB]

I was focusing mostly on the synth rather than 80's sounding. :p If you want ultra-80's-style-synth, I'd still say Alphabeat win.

[NorthernChaosGod]

Alright, makes sense. Good stuff anyway. :monster:

[krissy]

i feel like im gonna love this thread

okay I've listened to about half of this thread so far and it's great keep it up guys I love this thread :heart:

This has been one of my favorites since forever I don't even know why I love this song so much but I do and I love the music video too

[Loony BoB]

The biggest problem I had was resisting posting a whole lof of actual 80's synthpop in my reply.

EDIT: Also, while going through the videos, I stumbled across the video for Kids by MGMT (I don't know if I linked it or not) and I have loved that song forever and always feel it's such an uplifting beat, it always picks me up... turns out much of the video was damned near traumatising. :stare:

[Pike]

Kids by MGMT

omg I love that song too

[Loony BoB]

...perhaps we should set up an AIM direct connection sometime and just trade each other mp3's all day. xD

Awwwwwww damn son, neo-80s? This thread is my jam.

Obviously there's Tesla Boy, can't have a thread like this without them.

I don't think I've heard a single Electric Youth track I don't smurfing adore but let's throw in the best two, Right Back To You and The Best Thing;

mqy98hcMV9w

XfoLqZ-gtwU

And oh screw it here's Fade Away as well (dear LORD I love Electric Youth)

8HSw1PtEa68

Want some Maethelvin? Yeah, trust me, you want some Maethelvin.

aFbmQkTBulQ

Lazerhawk? Don't mind if I do. Again hard to pick a reasonable number but I'll just throw out three of my faves for now.

So Far Away is super chill.

At the other end of the spectrum, Redline is full-on and if you need music to get you pumped up for something like fighting the last boss in FTL, you've just found your track. (Seriously the game music there is great but if trout's really real, play this.)

MHaxiOzLams

Much the same holds true of Overdrive.

"What's your favorite, Mister Adequate?"

Well Virginia I don't know if I could pick a single favorite, but one of the strongest contenders would certainly be Perturbator. Because they're goddamn beautiful. You may recognize them from Hotline Miami. They're a primary reason the game has such a stellar soundtrack.

And my personal favorite of theirs, not hurt by the astonishing Catherine Serre's presence in the video still;

YutNQwMDogo

We've got some serious trout coming up so don't close that tab yet, it's time for Miami Horror's Sometimes and then, with the help of the ever-talented Kimbra, I Look To You.

And to finish up for now, a group I've got a lot of love for, Futurecop!

N.A.S.A.

SllfzY1DKYE

Atlantis 1997

UoLkERVMcuY

Possibly my favorite of theirs, Fade Away

VSICiIAKxIk

Dreams

fHPIJKOX6KQ

The Only Way (PS the chick in the video is Whitney Moore of Birdemic fame)

0Ba8zFBy0k0

In conclusion, screw all other genres if it's not electronic it's not worth listening to, that includes Bruckner and whatever that guy nik likes is called, probably some nerd who never got laid. Also always check out the YouTube channels neros77 and NewRetroWave, they've got good trout and most of this stuff was found directly or indirectly from their playlists.

[Night Fury]

Robyn :heart: I saw her live and she is absolutely astounding and I would see her again. Amazing.

Try some Natalia Kills. I don't know what he more recent stuff is like, but this is pretty good.

g4By_cfI_1g

Bat For Lashes also has some pretty 80's sounding stuff, 'Daniel' is apparently about the Karate Kid's Daniel :D

[yukina]

I'm going gaga over this thread. :)

So far, I like Natalia Kills, esp. her collab in 1974. Alphabeat is as pseudo-80's as pseudo-80's gets.

Foster the People does have that vibe though they do tend to get picked up by mainstream media fast.

I actually like La Roux, but dear god are her videos horrible. Santigold is pretty 80s sounding to me sometimes.

L.E.S. Artistes
ciJDA0tcQfs

Lights Out
_gB_vCdUsFY

Hearbeats by The Knife (definitely 80s sounding)
wcv3v6XfEvM

Get Innocuous by LCD Soundsystem (their other stuff is pretty 80s too)
