Yea, our local "classic" rock station beats those songs to death every day, I call it "the greatest hits 8-track that won't break" programming..

I don't get that one. Heard people talk about it a lot, but am not impressed by it myself.

Now if you want to talk early 80s songs in that genre that everyone loves I would suggest:
Obsession - Animotion
or
Don't you want me baby - Human League

I'd say those are the two most iconic songs to come out of the Synthpop era of the early 80s.
