I have a bunch of Rhino's New Wave comps if you want to peruse or rip.
I have most of the first 10 ripped, so I can probably send a number of things.
And, a big yes to OMD. How could I forget them?
Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

Buffista Music 4: Needs More Cowbell!
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
I remember Hec had a tagline from that song ("Luring disco dollies to a life of vice") when I first started posting at b.org.
I was earwormed by my friend Josh's punk rock cover of "Sex Dwarf."
I loved their Post-Punk ones.
Those are some great comps. I've got all three.

It occurs to me I really should add "Enola Gay" to my "High School Musical" mix.

Can you talk him into new stuff that sounds like 80s new wave.
I'm thinking of Ladytron, Freezepop and groups like that.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

When do I not want to peruse the Rhinos?

He definitely wants four-on-the-floor 80's dance. I'm going to have a ball with this one, for sure.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
He definitely wants a lot of four-on-the-floor 80's dance.

New Order, Yaz, Erasure, and Marc Almond songs (all played in one 30-minute set) are what usually prompts the Stunt Husband to raise his hands and yell "Gay DJ Bingo!" on Saturday nights at the club.
I would also suggest Depeche Mode, Pet Shop Boys, OMD, Eurythmics, Cyndi Lauper, Adam Ant, and Bow Wow Wow. Ooh, and "Johnny Are You Queer?" by ... crap, I can't remember. Off of the Valley Girl soundtrack.
