Classic Club/EDM Favorites From The 80's

I wanted to start a thread where we could share some of our old favorite club hits from the 80's (I'll do one for the 90's as well). I'm pretty curious as to what club hits/songs many of you liked, as well as what music was popular where you grew up. Here's mine including many that leaned more towards the Alternative Dance, Electronic, EBM, New Beat and Synthpop sides (in no particular order) as I spent half the 80's in Chicago and the other half in Texas (Dallas/Austin/Houston):

I've already started on the 90's, but I only started with 90-95. I think my favorite DJ Dean tune isn't a 90's one though (Music is My Life)...love that one.
 
I think I left off a couple from my OP:

Nitzer Ebb - "Join In The Chant"
Malcolm McLaren - "Madame Butterfly"

Oops...I realized that you put DJ Jean rather than DJ Dean.

I play that one too on WACC. Gotta admit, alot of obscure stuff 2son! I expected more common choices like Dead or Alive, New Order - Blue Monday, Living on Video, S'express, Bomb the Bass - Beat Dis, CCCP - American Soviets, Evelyn Thomas - High Energy, Depeche Mode - Strangelove, Erasure - Chains of Love, etc.

Well, I like the above artists and songs as well and bands like New Order, DM, and Erasure had a ton of songs I liked, but I also grew up liking more of the obscure stuff, especially when I would hear them out at the clubs.
 
I must say, you have some killer taste in 80's music there! I pretty much like every song that you have on the list.

I too am excited to see what you serve us for the 90's!
 
During my event at the WMC, I was honored to have legendary DJ Roman Ricardo (Hot 103/97) do a set. :)

He played an uptempo remix of this classic track from the early 80s and it just BLEW ME AWAY!!!
