    I like a lot of these songs but they don't all inspire dancing (for me anyhow)

    The best ones IMO are:

    What I Like About You* – The Romantics (GREAT)

    Keep Your Hands to Yourself – Georgia Satellites


    Dancing with Myself *– Billy Idol (Good for pogoing)

    Come On Eileen* – Dexy’s Midnight Runners

    Take on me - aha

    I love a-ha. The video to this song was very cool, too.
    They were still putting out music up until a couple years ago and Morten Harket's voice is still amazing.

    Agreed. There were good songs in there, but most were too slow to really dance to. I read "pogoing" as pooping. Add REM's "It's The End of The World As We Know It" to that list, and also House Martins' "Happy Hour".
