I like all of those. "Melt with You" is extremely overplayed though; I can't stand that one.

I think "Little Red Corvette" is the sexiest song of the '80s.

Not that I know of. And I can't believe you haven't got 'WoS' in your collection...It's the best pick-up song ever...

Oh no, not that 'Pick up'. Pick up as in 'Feel Good' - like when you're feeling down, and you put it on, it picks you up...

karma for the Wild Wild Life mention. One of the most underrated songs of the 80's. That bass line is incredible.
Cars- Gary Numan
West End Girls-Pet Shop Boys
Der Kommissar-After the Fire
We Dont have to take our clothes off-Jermaine Stewart
Raspberry Beret-Prince
I Ran-Flock of Seagulls
I could think of more, but I'm really tired.

Some good choices here, interesting to see the Pet Shop Boys reappearing. They were the masters of the Pop song in my opinion.
Some more top pop tunes:
Erasure: Stop!
Dead Or Alive: You Spin Me Round
Madonna: Into The Groove
Living In A Box: Living In A Box
Kool And The Gang: Fresh
Matthew Wilder: Break My Stride

Totally agree, along with Sly Fox's 'Let's Go All The Way' it's got 1986 written all over it!
