That'll do for now...
 
I guess I should mention these guys too

"Whisper to a Scream (BirRAB Fly)" - Icicle Works
"Forever Young" - Alphaville
"What is Love?" - Howard Jones
"The Riddle" - Nik Kershaw
 
Oh a whole bunch. Tears of Fears - Everybody Wants to rule the world

is one of it.

Pet shop boys - West End Girl is another.

70's music through 90's music are all good. I'm surprised that 80's and 90's are old music like 70's and below music are. Its hard to beleive.
 
If it's just one song from each artist:

Tom Waits - Clap HanRAB
Sonic Youth - The Sprawl
Pixies - Monkey Gone to Heaven
The Smiths - The Queen is Dead
The Cure - Killing an Arab (released as a single in the 70s, but it was first included on an album in the 80s)
Joy Division - Love Will Tear Us Apart
The Clash - Rock the Casbah
The Jesus and Mary Chain - Never Understand
The Jam - Going Underground
The Pogues - If I Should Fall From The Grace With God
