Apocalypse Songs of the 80's

[x-er]

X-Men's 70's tracks were "Time in a Bottle" and "The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face" in DOFP. Any thoughts for the 80's and late 70's?

My personal faves:

The Smiths - This Charming Man (1984, one year too late)
[YT]pT1BKSPh0to[/YT]

Queen - Another One Bites the Dust (1980)
[YT]rY0WxgSXdEE[/YT]

The Beatles - Across the Stars (1974?)
[YT]RKtk3bK5yTk[/YT]

MJ - Thriller (1983)
[YT]sOnqjkJTMaA[/YT]


Anyone know songs about the apocalypse ?

Edit: There are a few on survival:
Stayin' Alive by The Bee Gees (1978) and I Will Survive by Gloria Gaynor (1979) Who doesn't love disco?

Borderline from the Living for Love hitmaker, Madonna.

I want to hear that!

-Human Nature by MJ sounds appropriate for a movie about mutants. I could hear it playing in the background in a scene.

-Yes with Owner of a Lonely Heart...I could hear this playing in the movie

-For a club scene...Let It Whip by Dazz Band

-Rock The Casbah by The Clash another club or busy scene

-John Waite's Missing You is too iconic of the 80's to not use

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k9e157Ner90

-Mad World and Shout by Tears For Fears

Scorpions- Rock You Like a Hurricane
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sxdmw4tJJ1Y

Good mood music for the movie...

 

[Mulholland-Jr]

None would be terrific.

 

[psylockolussus]

You are not a fan of the music from the 80s? I guess you were born in the 90s or early 00s. I feel like it would be a miss opportunity not to feature a single song from that decade.

[psylockolussus]

I also want to hear Together in Electric Dreams like as a background music to Ororo's danger room sequence.

 

[Super Jim]

Read this elsewhere, but how funny would it be to see Nightcrawler watching Michael Jackson's Thriller:



Which leads to his choice of circus costume and/or X-Men uniform:

 

[psylockolussus]

I dont think we would see the music video for Thriller especially Kurt watching it but who knows.

Love 80s music. It's too distracting though. Like when Watchmen tried to do it...

 

[def28]

Metallica-The Four Horsemen

 

[Duran Man]

Anything from my namesake.

 

[Super Jim]

I dont think we would see the music video for Thriller especially Kurt watching it but who knows.

Maybe it would be nothing more than a poster in his trailer at the circus...

 

[GuestStar2004]

did they even play any 70s music in DOFP? the song that plays when logan arrives in the 70s and back again is a 1969 song

in FC they had that song during the recruitment scene that was a mid 2000s song i believe

Time in a bottle for Quicksilvers scene

 

[Dark Raven]

"Sunglasses at Night" for Cyclops.

It was me! I posted it here and tweeted it to Singer! t:

 

[Obsidian Idea]

Eh! lol

70s music wasn't distracting for DOFP, I don't see why it would be for Apocalypse if they used songs from the 80s.

 

[queendarkness12]

Some Cyndi Lauper would be cool, alongside Michael Jackson.

 

[GuestStar2004]

there wasn't really any 70s song in DOFP, and yes i know someone said the quicksilver action scene had some but wasn't that more quicksilver listening to it rather then montages or whatever

the song where logan wakes up in the past and future is a 1969 song and mystique at the party in paris obviously a particular decade song

if they brought in dazzler that would be an interesting way to do it

Dawid Bowie - Let's Dance

Would love to hear these two.

 

[CyclopsWasRight]

I will survive would be awesome

AC/DCs Hughway to Hell

Lee Zeppelins Kashmir

 

[CyclopsWasRight]

I thought it was handled great. That opening fight to unforgettable and the montage

 

[Jake Cassidy]

I will survive would be awesome

AC/DCs Hughway to Hell

Lee Zeppelins Kashmir

They're from the 70's, not the 80's.
