Reply to comment by jmcarlos27 in I Love the 80s - The essential throwback to music's greatest era [pop] by jmcarlos27

All jokes aside, ton of good songs in the playlist! Love the new wave/powerpop lean to it.

Might be personal bias, but I think it could do with some more Fleetwood Mac! Christine was at the top of her game on Tango in the Night, and there are some underrated gems on Mirage, too. I love "Book of Love"

Reply to Making my spouse a mixtape!! by DandyfelloxX

I agree with the above comment that the best mixtapes are a way for you to express how you feel about the other person through songs you know well. You won't have the immediate emotional connection to these songs that makes the mixtape special to the person receiving them.

That being said, I love the 80s so I'll try to help out.

Your Love by the Outfield is a great song, but the vibe might not be right if they listen too closely to the lyrics.

Ah! Leah! By Donnie Iris

Time After Time - Cyndi Lauper

Heaven - Bryan Adams

I Want to know What Love Is - Foreigner

Keep On Loving You - REO Speedwagon

Kiss Me Deadly - Lita Ford

Sexual Healing - Marvin Gaye

Take My Breath Away - Berlin

Reply to Are there any bands which have 2 guitarists who both play lead parts? by JustNoodling11

Tons and tons of them.

Thin Lizzy might have done it first, depending on how you're judging 'lead parts', but Scott Gorham and Brian Robertson's intertwining parts are the defining sound of their biggest hits like Jailbreak and The Boys are Back In Town

Lynyrd Skynyrd had 3 or 4 guitarists, I was surprised when I first picked up the instrument to learn that what I called the Sweet Home Alabama riff was actually 3 different parts in sync.

Fleetwood Mac almost always had multiple guitarists carrying leads. The Buckingham/Nicks era might not have, but there's a reason they replaced Lindsey with two (great) guitarists when he left.

The Eagles, Derek and the Dominos, Wishbone Ash, Quicksilver Messenger Service, the Allman Brothers, Blue Oyster Cult, Iron Maiden, Tesla...
