Like a Prayer stands up today, after all these years. Although, wasn't that early 90s? It def. doesn't have the 80s "sound."

I'd say:

Into the Groove and Everybody - Madonna

I Know What Boys Like - the Martha Quinn band (I think The Waitresses?)

True - Spandau Ballet

Rio - Duran Duran

Whip It - Devo (for stupid 80s robot dancing)

Manic Monday - The Bangles

Shake Your Love - Debbie Gibson

Too many good ones to list.

i think anything that was ever done by the pet shop boys is the height of brilliance. may i also suggest:
Tempted -- squeeze
Tainted Love - soft cell
anything by the bronski beat --this is the sound of every gay club in 1985. (tell me why, small town boy & it aint necessarily so)
everybody wants to rule the world - tears for fears
lets dance & modern love -david bowie
i touch myself-- (remember that one?)-the devynals
the completely idiotic but irresistible Susudio --genesis (i now have a "no phil collins" rule in my house)
Careless Whisper -Wham
Hold me now-thompson twins
you must have one madonna and one prince--i suggest Cherish for madge and little red corvette for prince (or lets go crazy if you want total high voltage)
for a ballad i would go w/ fast car or revolution both by tracy chapman. her CD was HUGE. HUGE. don't leave it out.
for a cover i would go w/ lets stay together --done by tina turner. she was also HUGE.
and my favorite song of ALL!!!
under pressure-- Queen featuring David Bowie

I'm Gonna Bee (I would walk 500 miles) by the Proclaimers

...and I was going to say Love Shack and anything by the Bangles but it was already covered.


Oh! and To Be With You by Mr. Big

If you can find it, try "Never Say Never" by Romeo Void...one of my faves.

Also "This Corrosion" or "Lucretia, My Reflection" by Sisters Of Mercy--get a little dance with yer goth, or is it the other way around?

WHAAAAAT? No Depressed Mode? "Never Let Me Down"

Missing Persons (That Stefani bee-yotch stole Dale Bozzio's style blow for blow) "Walking In L.A.", "Destination Unknown"

And Faith No More's "We Care Alot" (Hey, they name-drop the Garbage Pail Kids...how eighties is THAT?)
