This was great! Children of the Sun and Heat of the Moment made me wanna blast away some aliens in Galaga, old school style!
And yeah, Rush is very fittin retro arcade music. I think their more radio and synth driven stuff is great for an old school arcade playlist.
I forget the name of one of their songs. Somethin about "in the classroom halls" blah blah "submit or be shut down" but it's another song I would add. Why can't I remember the name! It was very ambient and synthy lol.
And hell yeah, Rockit! Can't have an arcade soundtrack without some electro jams!
Love these picks!
I would add The Ramones - I Wanna be Sedated (), Joan Jett - I Love Rock and Roll (), and The Go Gos - We Got the Beat () as some 80s punk/new wave songs that I would play at an arcade party lol.
