Best '80s/'90s pop


My wife has a (round number) birthday coming up and I'm planning a party. This is her nostalgia music (but not mine)and I'm trying to come up with a band for her party, but I'm at a bit of a loss trying to figure out what they should play. Dancing is the key here and I know that the English Beat will be one data point. Suggestions on others?

The thing is that the most popular bands of any time only produce a small % of the great tunes. To get a good representation, you need to sample a lot of music. That's where internet or over the air radio stations come in, particularly ones with good web sites that help you find out more about what's playing and what to buy.
I agree, a DJ, or take suggestions off of here, make some iTunes playlists, which we do for parties, including adding videos, and do it yourself.
Yeah, getting a DJ that has the tunes you want is probably most practical solution unless you really want to invest the time needed to pull everything together and make it work without a hitch.

BTW, the OHM Walshes are awesome party speakers if you choose to apply them towards that, although most people will probably be satisfied with the equipment that a hired DJ would bring to the table.
