Can anyone recommend me cheesy 80s metal with masturbatory solos and singers who sing in really heavily accented, generally not very comprehensible English?

Loudness (pre-Soldier of Fortune) and early Helloween (up to Keeper of the Seven Keys 2) are pretty good examples of what I'm looking for.

I'm liking that Edge of Sanity song, but that length holy hell.

Crimson is actually an entire album, if it helps any. Most of their stuff isn't quite as long.

For content, are there any other good artists in the vein of Power Glove, Kavinsky, College, Electric Youth, and Lazerhawk? I've been really digging this kind of faux-80s electronic music, and since I have no clue what the hell this genre is called and don't know of any labels that specialize in it I haven't been able to find much in the way of it.

Where should I start with italo disco? I really dig what I've heard of the genre and stuff inspired by it (Chromatics, Kavinsky, etc) but getting anything substantial in it is looking like a really daunting task.

That is THE standard Italo Disco mix.

I was more looking for specific artists to get into than mixes, but this is pretty cool, I guess?

Wow, I really appreciate the effortposts on italo. I didn't realize it was like that- definitely gonna focus my attention on compilations instead of single artists now.

Gangnam Style's beat is pretty bog-standard Dutch house, check out anything by Afrojack or Quintino if you like that.

For my part, I've been really addicted to Kill for Love by Chromatics lately and I'd like to find some similar stuff.

It's still synth-heavy, but it's got less of the dancey, nu-disco tone of Night Drive and goes for a melancholy indie feel that I loving love.

Just slow, sad music that's ultra synth-heavy and good to smoke weed to.
