So many songs from the early 1960s to the mid-1970s -- the Beatles, Rolling Stones and The Who. The Beach Boys bring back wonderful memories, and a Beach Boy-like song called "I Live for the Sun." I still isten to instrumentals from that era -- The Shadows, Herb Alpert, and orchestra music by Paul Mauriat ("Love Is Blue"), Bert Kaempfert and Henry Mancini. That was such a rich period for music. I still have dozens of CDS of songs from the '60s and '70s. They take me back in time.
Christopher Cross hits like, "Sailing", "Ride Like the Wind" and "All Right"... Bananarama's "Cruel Summer", Peter Schilling's "Major Tom (Coming Home)...
Back in the 80’s when I was clubbing 3-4 times a week, spinning records probably the most memorable ones were anything underground:
B-Movie: Nowhere Girl
The Cure: Let’s Go to Bed
Depeche Mode: Get the balance right.
Yazoo: Situation
Violent Femmes: Blister in the sun
Haircut 100: Boy meets girl
Freeze: AEIOU and sometimes Y
Talk Talk: It’s my life
Style Council: Ever changing moods
10.Stephen “TinTin” Duffy: Kiss me
Scritti Politti: Wood Beez
12: Naked Eyes: Promises
Q-Feel: Dancing in heaven
Ministry: Work for love
Jermaine Stewart: The word is out.
Kajagoogoo: Too shy
New Order: Blue Monday
These songs were the most memorable and iconic club songs of the 80’s and these songs were memorable classics and kept the floors busy, great times and great memories. Germany at that time had a strong thriving club scene second to the US and UK when it came to dancing and fashion. There were just too many songs to put done, but there will never be another decade that was as inspirational (with the exception of the first British Invasion in the 60’s) as the 80’s. Fantastic decade.
Too many to mention... when my dad got up he would turn the radio on first thing in the morning and the first song I clearly remember was "Death of a Clown" by The Kinks.
I still remember humming it all the way to our holiday resort when I was at kindergarten age.
My teens were dominated by songs like "July Morning", "48 Crash", "Blitzkrieg Bop", "Lonely Wolf" and good stuff like that. And the 80s brought me back to British stuff like DM, Culture Club and Duran Duran.
Yeah, but on some Edifier 1600 Watt Outdoor Sound System Vehicle Stereo Speakers w/ Dual 12" Woofers, 3.4" Piezo Tweeters, 20-5"x12" cabinet speakers with that bassline groove will get everyone on that dancefloor.

This list could be never-ending.

"When the Saints Go Marching In" and John Philip Sousa from the late 19th century. A little bit of that Mongolian throat singing.

It all depends upon the age, mood, feelings, location and generation.
When I was in HK in the 80s, it sure was Cantonese and Japanese. At the same time around in Europe, it was different.
