There's a guy and girl band on YouTube - The Fantastic Plastics - that do some very good Devo covers, theramin playing and all.
Any one of many by artists such as Thomas Dolby, Dexy's Midnight Runners, Eurythmics, Talking Heads, Billy Idol, Billy Squier, The Kinks (in particular 'Destroyer'), David Bowie, Dire Straits ('Money for Nothing' is the ultimate 80s MTV tune), Men At Work ("Who Can It Be Now?", "Down Under", and "Be Good Johnny" off of their 'Business as Usual' album would outrank more than half that list), Yes (especially "Owner of a Lonely Heart"), Rush, Blondie, Joan Jett, Iron Maiden, Motorhead, Judas Priest, Scorpions, Motley Crue, Ozzy Osbourne, ZZ Top, Dio, etc.
There are some albums where almost every song would displace most of that list from the top 100, such as the 'Back in Black' album from AC/DC, 'Eliminator' from ZZ Top, 'Pyromania' by Def Leppard, and 'Perfect Strangers' by Deep Purple.
