    As is the case with all ancient evils, 80's rock music was never sealed away in a very permanent fashion. The horrors of big hair and even bigger shoulder pads may have been dulled by the passage of time, but the cheesy tunes that went with them are creeping back to life in the form of optical discs, half-forgotten memories and rhythmically rocking video games. Activision has announced that Guitar Hero Encore: Rocks the 80s has gone gold and will unleash its insidious compositions via your PlayStation 2 on July 24th. The final eight songs from the 30-strong(ish) track list are presented below, with previously announced tracks found after the break. "Caught in a Mosh" (as made famous by Anthrax) "Balls to the Wall" (as made famous by Accept) "Electric Eye" (by Judas Priest) "Los Angeles" (as made famous by X) "Police Truck" (as made famous by Dead Kennedys) "We Got the Beat" (as made famous by The Go Go's) "(I Think I'm) Turning Japanese" (as made famous by Vapors) "Seventeen" (as made famous by Winger) "Because, it's Midnite" (by Limozeen)
