    It wouldn't be the 80's without Journey, REO Speedwagon or GNR.

    yep :)

    Of the usual chart stuff it would have to be Aha - Take on me. I love this song. Requested it at a friend's wedding last year and EVERYONE got up to dance.

    I spent most of the 80s listening to Dead Kennedys, Crass and Conflict, but I don't think any of that is quite what you are looking for!

    or Black Flag...LOL

    I LOVED the 80s, and I loved too many songs to list...but I am partial to Cats Can Fly "Flipping to the A side."

    My favorite song from the 80s is "Slit Skirts" by Pete Townshend, but that's not very partyish, or an "80s song," exactly.
    So!
    I like The Proclaimers "500 Miles," Modern English "Melt with you," Dexy's Midnight Runners "Come On Eileen," Queen+David Bowie "Under Pressure," Queen "Another One Bites the Dust," Queen "Hammer to Fall." :)

    For a party there is not a better 80's song than:

    "Party All The Time" - Eddie Murphy

    My thoughts EXACTLY. Here is the link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m5LX16zia2k AND check out the little dude @2:25--SOOO funny!

    Berlin - The Metro http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cNVLRPSEVaE
