| ParanoidObsessive 04/08/20 7:50:34 AM #205: | WhiskeyDisk posted... So a John Hughes film soundtrack? Ironically, no - I was never really into John Hughes. I was a bit too young to relate to 80s teen shenanigans. I was more in The Goonies sort of demographic. Even more ironically, by the time I WAS a teen, most teen stuff was geared towards the Grunge or Skater kids, and I hated both of those subcultures, so I never really related to my actual teen experience either. I've always been a man (or boy) out of time. If I was going to come up with a Quill-esque soundtrack (and now I half feel like trying to do it), it'd probably closer to what you see on Billboard's Top 40 albums (specifically, 1985-1988) - and it goes without saying, I have the entire decade's worth of these: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Billboard_Top_Hits:_1985 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Billboard_Top_Hits:_1986 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Billboard_Top_Hits:_1987 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Billboard_Top_Hits:_1988 I actually have about half those songs copied on my 360's hard-drive, and had them as part of a playlist I used to listen to when playing Saints Row (which, come to think of it, means I've already sort of made a Quill-esque sci-fi adventure mixtape playlist). For the full experience, you need at least a few 80's dance club songs. Stuff with this sort of sound: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_-0sUuGufmw http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kssol0leTWA http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xc5Sm4iRtxs http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hIs5StN8J-0 And it'd probably be sprinkled with a bit of Depeche Mode (my favorite band), Erasure (I have memories of singing Chains of Love on the schoolbus in middle school), and maybe a few songs like these: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ud6sU3AclT4 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zWd__w5UWVc And unlike Quill, if I'm going to be listening to Fleetwood Mac, it would probably be this one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uCGD9dT12C0 And as for ELO? Yeah, probably one of these: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J9YIfEzXSHA http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vvYIYuBV13A http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KInsKNZV4IQ Of course, those have already been on a movie soundtrack... but who says you can't double-dip? Speaking of which, there's probably a few other songs I could probably steal from other films of the era, or at least which sort of represent the kind of sound I'm talking about: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TxrwImCJCqk http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j1e1JW_1DDw http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uAuL_noJLoo http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AZKpByV5764 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LfmrHTdXgK4 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GRSaFqiNHng Though generally speaking, I'd probably also have to try and slip in at least one of my traditional top three favorite 80s songs: #3) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8b52bFiltuA #2) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JkRKT6T0QLg #1) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ctwqa3QCwMw And then, finally, here's a little cherry on top for the whole mess, plus a bit of an unexpected curveball: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sv4CY9ZZBQM http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lBZ_DFRw2iY Basically, I was ruined as a kid because I lived near NYC, and we had all the NYC radio stations, so when I'd go to bed I'd lay awake listening to Z100, which played a lot of modern (at the time) Top 40 and dance club music. Which may be why I used to love going to The Culture Club in NYC, in spite of the fact that it was trying to recapture the nostalgia of a club era that happened when I was like 8. --- "Wall of Text'D!" --- oldskoolplayr76 "POwned again." ...
