Tryin' to bring back the 80's. What's some good tunes to add to the collection...

Gin and Juice? By Snoop Dog? That is NOT old school. That was early 90's and not 80's.If you want old school, check out:

Fat Boys - Wipe out
Gucci Crew - Sally (That Girl)
Big Daddy Kane - Wild Wild West
Run DMC - It's Tricky or Peter Piper
NWA - F*** the Police
Beastie Boys - Sounds of Science

 

[Zwingle]

Yup...I was going to say something....but....

 

[dman]

I know Snoop isn't old skool (But gettin' there). Wanted to see who was payin' attention.

Thanks for the songs, now to start a huntin'. (BTW, prefer song names to band names... billions out there by Beastie Boys and Run DMC. So, trying to filter down to ones folks remember were good... but anything is better than nothing.

 

[dman]

OK, to make up for Snoop, how 'bout LL Cool J - I Need Luv. Is that old enough.

Yeah some are not so old school but as my wife just said "Old School is a frame of mind "

Its cool going back to the songs that you grew up with (anyone else get goosebumps just thinking about certain songs/times in their lives? - like first drive in YOUR car etc.)

 

[pulse8]

Yeah...Hearing certain songs can take me back to specific events in my life. The memories are so vivid when that happens. I can feel every emotion I felt at the time. It's cool.
