I cannot believe no one has mentioned Iron Maiden yet. Maiden Rulez!
Also, Blue Öyster Cult put out some very respectable music in the '80s, which, as I have noted, is practically indispensible to be familiar with if you have any pretensions of coolness.
As for he music most folks think of as '80s, try Flock of Seagulls- I Ran and New Age Love Song, Icicleworks - Birds Fly (Whisper to a Scream), Alan Parsons Project - Prime Time and Don't Answer Me (and anything else off Ammonia Avenue), Musical Youth - Pass the Dutchie, Eddie Grant - Electric Avenue, The Fixx - Are We Ourselves, Red Skies at Night, Saved By Zero, One Thing Leads to Another, Secret Separation, and How Much is Enough; Morris Day & the Time - Jungle Love, Cameo - Word Up, anything at all by Duran Duran. and the list goes on and on and on.
But definitely Maiden! (Because, well, they rule!)
