Top 80s Songs

Our Lips Are Sealed - The GoGos / Fun Boy Three
Come On Eileen - Dexy's Midnight Runners
New Years Day - U2
Hungry Like the Wolf - Duran Duran
Back on the Chain Gang - The Pretenders
Come Dancing - The Kinks
Just Like Heaven - The Cure
She Sells Sanctuary - The Cult
How Soon Is Now - The Smiths
Black Coffee in Bed - Squeeze

No particular order. But, I would say Our Lips are Sealed and Come on Eileen are sort of definitive 80's songs for me.

With Our Lips are Sealed, The GoGos did the most popular version in my neck of the woods but The Fun Boy Three version is also super tasty. Check it out on youtube (the saviour of music videos).

Aside from being awesome. I notice that they are largely from the era where MTV played music videos and I was around 12 or in 8th grade. Also note they are largely British and most band names start with the word 'The' (just like 'The Beatles').

Whatever. Great stuff.

FWIW, here's VH1's version.
