Realized that this list lacks three songs that any '80s list cannot not have. Along with Hungry Like the Wolf, these are the songs that made me realize that a shift had happened from the LP to the video (and why I still think of PeW and MP as '70s albums)...

 

129) Vienna -- Ultravox

130) Don't You Want Me -- The Human League

131) Take on Me -- a-ha

 

I'm no judge of art, but I thought that videos were (at least) aspiring to be art when I saw this; in that sense the video became as, or more, important than the song...

Stumbled across this and think no '80s list can be missing it:

 

132) Turning Japanese - The Vapors

And this:

 

133) Good Girls Don't - The Knack

^^^ Two good ones.

 

Just realized Get the Knack came out in '79. Oh well, like some do with PeW, I'll just call it an '80s album. Clearly The Knack was inspired by '80s music when they wrote it! ;)
