It's not music that moves me or anything like hip-hop, but it is just fun music to listen to, and it works when playing Vice City.  The music back then was really about NOT being serious.

Some more good ones...

"Electric Avenue"

"Hey Now" - Crowded House

Billie Jean has got a wicked beat to it, even now that sample sounds sweet.

Huey Lewis - Power of love always reminds of back to the future !

and prince, make sure you check "get up" and "sexy mutha" for kicking basslines :)

80's music is the bomb.  The 80's set the standard for all music and the 80's is so the best period for music, and films for originality too.

Man, I don't like hardly any of those, LOL... but I love 80's music.  

Mike's stuff, I like "Billie Jean" "Man in the Mirror" and about a hundred others... btw, that song "I always feeeeel like, somebody's watchinnn meeee" you mentioned is Michael Jackson himself singing backup for  some one hit wonder named Rockwell.  

I like "Hey Now" that you mentioned, and UB40's red red wine, but their version of Elvis Presley's "I can't help falling in love with you" is so much better.

I like Ah-Ha "Take on Me"....

U2 - "I still haven't found what i'm lookin' for"

Tears For Fears - "I know this much is true"

The Police - "Every little thing she does is magic"

Cindy Lauper - "Time after Time", "True Colors"

Men at Work - "The Land Down Under"

Billy Joel's entire "Innocent Man" album from '83 is my favorite album of all time.  

I got tons of them, I grew up listening to that stuff, so I can't listen to it too much because I get depressed reminiscing about how much better life was when we were all kids.

Yes!  Sting is the shit.  "Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic," "Every Breath You Take," "Message In A Bottle" are all good songs of his fro mthe 80s.  "With Or Without You" by U2 is a great one as well.

"Land Down Under" I've been bumping.

"I Can't Help Falling In Love With You" is one of my fav songs of the 80s as well.
