U2, simple minds, erasure, the smiths, the cure, guns n roses, duran duran, wham, spandau ballet, eurythmics, bon jovi, happy mondays, stone roses - all the mega dance music starting around then too.
i have wide & varied tastes & remember many a drunken night on the dance floor whirling around to the 80's classics...ah, happy dayz!
all time fave, if i was pushed to pick one - Simple Minds, Don't You Forget About Me - shivers down the spine even now when i hear the first few beats! :D
