maybe I missed someting here
but...but Journey Seperate Ways and Eurthmics-Sweet DReams were playing on the juke n the new movie.
not counting "1990s theme" from Journey in the orginal.
 
Thanks for posting the list. I have 41 on mp3 (I converted my juke), not all of them are in the current image. I may try to find the rest and create a Flynn's image on the hard disk.

Thanks for posting the playlist. I have been building up my 80s rock playlist and there are some classics on here that I was missing and did not know who the artists were.
 
This is perfect timing. I am currently building a playlist for my arcade, thanks!!! :cool:
 
Really surprised to see King Crimson "Elephant Talk" in there....Even though it came out in the 80's....it's not a really a "80's" tune.
 
Can you include Dance Hall Days in your playlist?

Only if I can also include "Everybody have fun tonight" as well. ;)

Yeah, I already have "my" best-of-80s playlist, and WC is in there for sure, but there were quite a few songs in this list I had forgotten about... Which is radical!
 
speaking of tron legacy and jukes....

does anyone know the NAME of the juke used/filmed in the flynn's arcade scene of the new movie?

would love to own one of those someday.

I was pretty surprised by the list too. wasn't your typical 80's Mtv/VH1 top 40 list, was particularly surprised with the Ramone's choice. Well played. :) :thrasher:

Whomever got to put this together for Flynn's was obviously a big Go-Go's fan.
Then again, which one of us "young boys" back then didn't have a thing for at least one of them! :001_sdrool:

I found a few more in the wife's CD collection. She is a big 'billboard hits of ____' CD collector which makes it easy for me to put collections together.
