The Alternative 80's New Wave Wedding DJ Playlist!

80’s alternate, new wave, electronic, and so on, this wedding DJ playlist
genre is, like, totally tubular! Some of these songs, or maybe this whole category, won’t relate to you. Being from Southern California, many people out here grew up with these tunes. These all have a great dance beat, and can be mixed in with today’s top hits. This time, due to popular demand, I have made this music list alphabetical by artist with one song from each. For the complete list of 82 songs, download my Wedding Songs Time Line Planner.

I ran (so far away) a flock of seagulls

Rock lobster b-52's

Boys don't cry cure

Just can't get enough depeche mode

Electric avenue eddy grant

She drives me crazy fine young cannibals

Don't you want me human league

Need you tonight inxs

Footloose kenny loggins

So alive love & rockets

Our house madness

Always something there (to remind me) naked eyes

A quick half way note. You may recognize some of these titles as done by other artists, newer artists. This is another way to work these songs into your wedding DJ playlist. Just mix out of your Top 40 remake into the real deal!

Dead man's party oingo boingo

If you leave omd

West end girls pet shop boys

What i like about you romantics

How soon is now smiths

Shout tears for fears

Blister in the sun violent femmes

Mexican radio wall of voodoo

Situation yaz

A lot of great “flashback” songs for your graduated in 1984 crowd. If you are from So Cal, you may recall the great days of the world famous KROQ. Just a few from the full list. For the complete list, download my Wedding Songs Time Line Planner. Anyway, have fun checking out these 80’s alternative tunes for your wedding DJ playlist and don’t be afraid to dance like an 80’s geek to them!
