off the top of my head:

Dead or Alive - You Spin Me Right 'Round (Like a Record)
Level 42 - Something About You
Simple Minds - Don't You Forget About Me
Spandau Ballet - True
George Michael - Father Figure/One More Try/Faith/etc.
The Smiths - How Soon Is Now?/There Is a Light That Never Goes Out/etc.
Talking Heads - Once in a Lifetime/And She Was/etc.
Soft Cell - Tainted Love/Where Did Our Love Go?
Peter Gabriel - Big Time/Sledgehammer/Games Without Frontiers/Shock the Monkey/etc.
David Bowie - Let's Dance/China Girl/Fashion/Ashes to Ashes/etc.
Grateful Dead - Touch of Grey
Moody Blues - Your Wildest Dreams

Also, The Police, The Cure, R.E.M., U2, and Tears for Fears all have too many songs for me to list.

That should be a fair kickoff selection.

Good choices with Whip It and She Blinded Me with Science, btw.

Anything by Cyndi Lauper.

EDIT-Everybody Wants To Rule The World by Tears for Fears.

West Side Girls - Pet Shop Boys
The Reflex - Duran Duran
Turning Japanese - The Vapors
Heaven is a Place on Earth - Belinda Carlisle
Everybody Have Fun Tonight - Wang Chung
Somebody's Watching Me - Rockwell
Come Go with Me - Expose

And of course...
Never Gonna Give You Up - Rick Astley



How does your Mom feel about cheesy 80s power ballads?

The Human League - Don't You Want Me
Europe - The Final Countdown
Nena - 99 Luftballoons
Dexy's Midnight Runners - Come on Eileen
Earth Wind and Fire - Boogie Wonderland

Some are probably not even from the 80's haha. But whatever!

867-5309/Jenny - Tommy Tutone

If you really want to kill her you should add something by Samantha Fox. Touch me or I Surrender should do the trick.

Prince Charming - Adam And The Ants
Stand And Deliver - Adam And The Ants
Ashes To Ashes - David Bowie
Let's Dance - David Bowie
Vienna - Ultravox

Rick Astley - Never Gonna Give You Up

No list would be complete without Tarzan Boy (Baltimora), Rock Me Amadeus (Falco), The Neverending Story (Limahl), Comanchero (Moon Ray), Send Me an Angel (Real Life), Night and Day (Al B. Sure), and Safety Dance (Men Without Hats).

Rock Me Amadeus is genius. Absolute genius.

Distinct lack of Erasure here. :( Desperately need to include A Little Respect.
