Any Missing Persons will do as well.

Isn't Europe's "Final Countdown" post-86? I remember it when it was new, but I thought that was more '87 or '88.

Nope, '86 were the year of its release (the beginning of '86, actually).

Great choice, one of my favourites from the early 80s. Industry's only album Stranger To Stranger was released in 1983. Wasn't State Of The Nation released in the same year?

How about this: In '81, Jim Steinman released his own album, Bad for Good. The title track or even his version of "Rock and Roll Dreams Come Through" would be pretty good.
