Greatest 80's Hits

As the creator of probably the first 80s nostalgia night, begun in 1992, New York DJ Chip Duckett is worth listening to when he talks about the era's music. Here are his choices for the best of the decade's party songs.


  • Our Lips Are Sealed, Go Gos
  • We Got The Beat, Go Gos
  • Karma Chameleon, Culture Club
  • Call Me, Blondie
  • Kids in America, Kim Wilde
  • Wake Me Up Before You Go Go, Wham
  • Anything from Madonna. "You can play an album track from Madonna," Duckett says, "and people will scream. She is a genius."
  • Relax, Frankie Goes To Hollywood
  • Hey Mickey, Toni Basil
  • Gone Daddy Gone, Violent Femmes.
  • 99 Red Balloons, Nena
