Your prompt suggests you're diving into this almost completely blind (deaf?), so here's a smattering of all-timers with that, with the others already suggested, should give you good starting point from which you can dive deeper.

Pretty blind, of that list I have Billie Jean and Rocket Man on my playlist already, love those songs. I definitely have to hear the others.

It's so difficult to list anything that truly defines a whole varied decade fairly while eliminating your own biases.

But do I not see any a-ha Take On Me so far?

After Michael Jacksons hits, take on me is just so 80s.

Phil Collins, Police, Cure to barely scratch the surface.

Then add in the 70s... I mean Queen.

If I let myself id spend way too much time rererereediting a list.
