Finally moving on to 1984...
Romeo Void, A Girl in Trouble (is a Temporary Thing) (1984)
Post-punk band Romeo Void scored a Top 40 hit with this song in 1984. Taken from their third and final album, Instincts, the hook-laden single is reportedly a response, from the woman's point-of-view, to Michael Jackson's "Billie Jean." Despite the song's charting achievements, the 415 band is still best remembered for a song from their debut EP, the infamous "Never Say Never."

Scandal, The Warrior (1984)
For a band that released only one actual LP, 1984's Warrior, New York pop-rock band Scandal was remarkably well-known in the early 1980's. Having found moderate success with such songs as "Goodbye to You" and "Love's Got a Line on You" (released via EP), front-woman Patti Smyth and guitarist Keith Mack managed a larger hit in the form of "The Warrior." The song was penned by Nick Gilder ("Hot Child in the City") and Holly Knight (who, among other hits, penned several for contemporary Pat Benetar).

The Art of Noise, Close (to the Edit) (1984)
While the percussive groove of "Beat Box" became an urban club favorite and the sensual "Moments in Love" made waves among the soul-romantic set, the single that really distilled the debut album release (the EP Into Battle notwithstanding) of avante-garde synthpop band The Art of Noise, Who's Afraid of the Art of Noise?, was "Close (to the Edit)." Samples from Yes's "Close to the Edge," a VW Golf, and the Andrew Sisters, a relentlessly programmed drum track, and a running piano groove proved irresistibly poppy and desturbingly destructive simultaneously. The recurring vocal "Hey!" has been sampled by numerous other artists, while the video was both lauded (winning MTV awards for Most Experimental and Best Editing) and banned (in New Zealand, for allegedly encouraging violence toward children).

The Cars, You Might Think (1984)
The fifth album by Boston rockers The Cars, Heartbeat City, produced a slew of hits. Included among them was 'You Might Think," a light pop song with jangling synthesizer riffs and bold lyrics. The video, whose cost at $80,000 was triple the average music video budget of the time, won MTV's first ever Video of the Year award as well as a handful of Billboard awards.

Darn fine music from 1987, I'll let wiki handle the rest:
Darklands is the second album by Scottish alternative rock band The Jesus and Mary Chain. Unlike their previous album, drum machines were used in place of drummer Bobby Gillespie, who had left to pursue a successful career as the frontman with Primal Scream. The album marks a turning point in the band's music, going from the savage noise-pop of Psychocandy, to a more melodic indie/alternative sound.[4]
