80's hits recommendations?

im creating an 80's playlist on itunes. anyone have any recommendations on what to include? so far i have: angel - fra lippo lippi stitches and burns - fra lippo lippi she drives me crazy - fine young cannibals king of wishful thinking - go west eye of the tiger - survivor nothing's gonna stop us now - starship never ending story - limahl looking through the eyes of love - melissa manchester anything else? wow those are plenty. and i haven't even heard of most of those bands/singers... maybe because i was too young then when they hit the charts? k i'm gonna go check them out later on youtube. thanks to all who replied.
