You have to make sure that you include "Bizarre Love Triangle" by New Order. It's in every 80s movie. And JOURNEY! What's an 80s mix without a little Journey? My favorite is "When the Lights Go Down in the City" but "Open Arms," "Separate Ways," well, really any Journey song will do.
Other songs that I think are cool: "Drive" by The Cars and "Don't Dream it's Over" by Crowded House.

Erasure-Respect...amazingly gay (not in a bad way, in a they were gay way) brit pop from 80-something. Great dance tune!

This is is, this is the song, there is no other song besides this song. And that song is...
To Be With You by Mr. Big
The greatest song of life. Game over.
