List your fav RETRO Tracks

Hi, you might remember me from the DiscoAddict and RetroAddict Confession Threads. Well, here I am again, but this time I am asking you to list your favourite Dance RETRO songs from the 1980s. That would be great if its not rock or rap from the 80s, but guitar sounds is OK, if it is a dance smash. Thanks a lot to all who reply. I am just doing a best of 80s MP3 CDs and need some good retro, and these are my BEST examples:
A-ha (Take On Me)
Alphaville - Big In Japan
Art Of Noise (anything, especially MOMENTS IN LOVE - my fav track of the 80s)
Bananarama (Venus, I Heard A Rumor, etc.) !!!!
Barbara Mason - Another Man
Berlin - Take My Breath Away
Billy Ocean - Get Out of My Dreams, Get into My Car
Expose (anything - its all freestyle)
Jean Michel Jarre (anything)
Donna Summer - She Works Hard For The Money
Dead Or Alive - You Spin Me Right Round
Depeche Mode (various)
Divine - You Think You're A Man - nasty lyrics! ewww
Falco - Rock Me Amadeus (etc.)
Frankie Goes To Hollywood - Relax
Harold Faltermeyer (Axel F)
Herbie Hancock - Rockit
Human League - Fascination
Indeep - Last Night A DJ Save my Life - discoish
Inner City - Big Fun AWESOME!!!!!!!!
Jane Child - Don't Want To Fall In Love
Kim Wilde - You Keep Me Hanging On
Kraftwerk - ANYTHING! - its techno, not retro
Kylie Minogue (Locomotion , anything is good!)
Laura Branigan - Self Control
Madonna (various tracks from the 80s)
Michael Jackson - Billie Jean
Modern Talking (Atlantis Is Calling, Cheri Cheri Lady (original) )
Moskwa TV (anything)
New Order (Strange Love Triangle, Blue Monday)
Nu Shooz (I Can't Wait, Point Of No Return)
Paula Abdul - Straight Up
Pet Shop Boys (West End Girls , Domino Dancing , ANYTHING!)
Pointer Sisters - Neutron Dance
Prince (1999, When Doves Cry)
Re-flex - Politics Of Dancing
Rick Astley - Never Gonna Give You Up
S-Express - Theme from S-Express
Samantha Fox - Touch Me
Sandra - Heaven Can Wait , In The Heat Of The Night
Shannon - Let The Music Play
Sheila E - The Glamorous Life

Trans X - Living On Video
Vangelis (anything)

The reflects a really awesome Retro trackkk/artist (my opinion). Some of them have awesome trancy/90s'like sounds, so I suggest check them out if you dont know them.

i don't want to be a stickler here, but....the track name is 'Bizarre Love Triangle'. if you are listening to 'Strange Love Triangle', then that is an unofficial bootleg mix thingy of Depeche Mode's 'Strange Love' with New Order's 'Bizarre Love Triangle'. So the track isn't a New Order track.

Good Job Everyone

I appreciate it, I had a feeling those similar named songs in my collection would come back to haunt me one day. Though I'm too lazy to change it back to the right way ...BUT YOU'RE RIGHT!
