This is a great topic, glad it is here. But I haven't done my 1970s answer yet! Went to my YouTube playlist, these are not all of my 80's faves but they are the ones I play the most from the rock and pop.   No particular order:                             

End of the Line by the Traveling Wilburys.                                           Your Wildest Dreams The Moody Blues                                     I Love Rock and Roll Joan Jett and the Blackhearts                         Come Dancing The Kinks               Fire Lake Bob Seger and the silver bullet Band.                            Summer of 69 Bryan Adams.         Bruce Springsteen Glory Days and Pink Cadillac.                            Walk like a Man by Divine, it is weird and I find it hilarious.            Hearts by Marty Balin.                    Hold on Tight To Your Dreams ELO.                                                    Almost anything by AC/DC and lastly the one I belt out when I want to laugh, or when I have to clear a really bad song ear worm from my brain. - wait for it. . . Most people have heard it...            867-5309 by Tommy TuTone!
