[net.music] Suggestions sought for THE rock and roll dance tape

pmr@drutx.UUCP (Rastocny) (09/20/84)

I want to make a current (80s type) rock and roll dance (your #** off) tape
for an upcoming party.  Any suggestions for great songs?  Please reply by email.
			Thanks in advance,
			Phil Rastocny

I suggest that the juxteposition of "current (80s type) rock and roll dannce
(your #** off)" music with the phrase "great songs" creates an oxymoron.

I suggest that while it may be a contradiction, it probably isn't an oxymoron,
which tends to be only two words.  Unless of course the sentence formed by
joining (or juxtaposing [with an 'a'] if you prefer) is not the oxymoron you
think it creates .  ?  !  :-)  (choose your own punctuation.)

Oh, well, I guess I've cluttered up the net with enough useless crap now,
so I'll go back to doing other uselss things.

Would reply via email, except I can't figure out how right now.

I'd never leave out 'Annalisa' by PIL  (Public Image Ltd.) as
an ultimate dance tune.  I'm not sure the exact album title, but it
says 'Religion Attack' on the cover somewhere.

Despite what Mr. Yampell (of "I get my teeth kicked in because I'm sensitive"
fame) says, there is plenty of great danceable music from the 80's.

Bill Nelson - Every Day Feels Like Another New Drug (Vistamix)
Prince - 1999, D.M.S.R, Computer Blue, Controversy
		(D.M.S.R is the really funky song played at the "party" in
		 Risky Business)
Devo - Whip It, Girl U Want, ...
B-52's - Rock Lobster, Private Idaho, Give Me Back My Man, Party Out of Bounds,
		Planet Claire, 52 Girls
Ramones - Sheena is a Punk Rocker, Rockaway Beach, ...
Vapors - Turning Japanese
Tom Tom Club - Wordy Rappinghood, Genius of Love
Funkadelic - One Nation Under a Groove (also George Clinton/P-Funk of any kind)
David Bowie - Scary Monsters
Depeche Mode - New Life, Photograph
Dead Kennedys - Holiday in Cambodia, Viva Las Vegas
Our Daughter's Wedding - Lawnchairs
Michael Jackson - Rock With You, Don't Stop Till You Get Enough
			(avoid Thriller, as it's overused)

That should provide enough for one tape or so.
