Give me some idea's for awesome 80's music to put on my I-pod. I was specifically told to avoid newer music. I currently have a very small collection of Zepplin, GNR, Bon Jovi, ACDC and Skynard. Any song choices would be awesome.
I recognize the songs but I don't really know the names  . Like a lot of Zepplins, I recognize but the title gave me no clue what it was. ALSO no sad ballads...looking directly at you GNR.
I realize I could look into the Greatest Hard Rock band thread, but again I have no idea what songs to look for.

I don't really think of bands like Judas Priest or GNR as being "80's Music." They are just great bands that happened to put out great stuff during the 80's.
"80's music" to me means hair metal and synthesiers, and songs about winning/victory. Some of my favs:
All the stuff Cattivo mentioned.
Grim Reaper: "See you in Hell"
That "Take on Me" song (artist name escapes me right now)
Survivor: "Eye of the Tiger"
Bonnie Tyler: "Holding out for a Hero"
Transformers the Movie Soundtrack: "Dare" and "Nothin's Gonna Stand in our Way."
Scarface Soundtrack: "Push it to the Limit"

*sigh* Oh you guys... 
The band is Living color. The TV show is In Living color.
'Take On Me' is by A-Ha.
Though I could be wrong, I'm pretty sure Bad Company is 70s, and not 80s.
But yeah, All the David Lee Roth-led Van Halen albums (Van Halen 1 and 2, Women and Children First, Fair Warning, Diver Down, and MCMLXXXIV)
'Screaming For Vengeance', 'Defenders of the Faith' and 'Turbo' by Judas Priest
'Number of the Beast', 'Piece of Mind', 'Somewhere In Time' and 'Seventh Son of a Seventh Son' by Iron Maiden
'Appetite For Destruction' by GNR
'L.A. Guns' and 'Cocked and Loaded' by L.A. Guns
'Too Fast For Love', 'Shout at the Devil', and 'Dr. Feelgood' by Motley Crue.
the whole 'Vivid' album by Living color.
there's so much awesome...but get those.

Great songs right there.

Meh, I was in a hurry to get to a teleconference, and that show was deeply embedded into my brain as a child. Sorry. At least I got the British spelling of color right, as the show used the American way, naturally.
Edit:
If you like New Wave music, here are a few great ones -
I Ran (So Far Away ) - Flock of Seagulls
Tainted Love - Soft Cell's cover
Owner of a Lonely Heart - Yes
Hungry Like the Wolf - Duran Duran
Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This) - The Eurythmics
Once in a Lifetime & Burning Down the House - The Talking Heads
One Thing Leads to Another - The Fixx
You Spin Me (Like a Record) - Dead or Alive

Oh ross...
If he just gets all of the David Lee Roth-led Van Halen albums, he'll miss out on all the great Sammy Hagar-led Van Halen stuff. 
Douche, don't forget Tom Petty. Any of his stuff. But if you want specifics, check out on some of the stuff on the Greatest Hits album.
Also, Don't You (Forget About Me) by Simple Minds is a must have.

It's cool Cat, you make up for it by noting that 'Tainted Love' by Soft Cell is a cover.
And scam, it just didn't seem like the Hagar stuff would fit in with what Douche should be listening to

You don't know me Ross!!!!  With out titles its really hard to find certain songs you guys think rock. I got a bunch from the rents house, before my dad converted to country he was a big 80's hairband guy and all these songs bring back some serious memories. If I had to rate a song as my number 1 80's song it would be Jump by Van Halen. Anything like that would be awesome.

People hate me for digging Van Hagar way more than David Lee Roth era, but oh well.
Van Halen - Why can't this be love
Van Halen - Right now
Avoid "Quiet Riot", as their only two popular songs are BOTH covers of "Slade" songs from the seventies. Still good for nostalgia reasons, but it pisses me off that you can get famous based on someone else's song, not once but fucking twice.

Billy Joel's Greatest Hits, Vols. 1 & 2
The songs range from 1973-1985.
Still, most fall into the category of rock, and they are great.
It is a 2 disk set, it just is titled as though it were two independent albums.

Depeche Mode is an extremely underrated 80s New Wave band. Try Some Great Reward.

Not sure if you'll dig it, but Herbie Hancock's Future Shock is a good 80's album....

Hey, don't limit yourself to the 80's. The 70's had some great shit pumping out. Some good artists to look into: Yes, Steely Dan, Cheap Trick, and of course you are on the right track with the Zeppelin...

I can't get into the 70's I mean I love the Wonder Years TV series and If time travel were possible I would definitely go back to the 70's I would just bring my Ipod and some 60's music.
I knew I could count on you Syd. How I forgot about Holiday in Cambodia I will never know.
