Es ist an der Zeit, mein mehrjähriges Prokrastinationsprojekt bzw. meine Nerd-Diplomarbeit zum Abschluss zu bringen. Lange genug konnte ich das alles noch irgendwie als „Arbeit am nächsten Roman“ tarnen, der im Sommer 1985 spielen wird – aber der ist nun fertig und ich habe keine Ausrede mehr. Hier also meine ultimative 80s-Playlist mit 800 ausgewählten Songs aus Pop, Rap, Rock, Reggea, aber auch cheesy Liebeslider und Smash Hits. Im Gegensatz zu der Liste vom Frühjahr, die sich auf New Wave beschränkte*, habe ich jetzt auch immer wieder Titel draufgetan, die ich selbst nicht liebe, die aber einfach sein müssen. Die 80s als Ganzes waren eben immer auch eine Bad Taste-Party, diesen Kampf kann man nicht gewinnen, aber ich habe versucht, so viele gute Lieder wie möglich reinzuschmuggeln.
Schaut man sich die Videos an, finden sich natürlich etliche Klassiker wie von a-ha, aber auch einige Kuriositäten („Safety Dance“ und “King of Rock ‘N’ Roll“, wtf?). Mein geheimer Favorit ist jedoch „Dancing In The Street“ von Mick Jagger und David Bowie. Das Video ist so großartig bescheuert, dass ich es hier teilen muss. Wer schon immer mal sehen wollte, wie zwei absolute Weltstars wie Teenager herumspacken, die sich zu Hause unbeachtet fühlen – hier ist der Link.
Ich hoffe jedenfalls, euch gefällt die Auswahl. Es gab wie immer einige Härtefälle (The Hoff!), dazu auch Enttäuschungen, weil ich Songs von u.a. Exile und Blondie beim Check wieder rausnehmen wusste, bei denen ich vorher geschworen hätte, sie wären in den 80ern veröffentlicht worden.
Viel Spaß beim Hören!
