artists! Mine are:
Rick James - Mary Jane, Superfreak too many to name
“Burning Down The House” - this became a favorite the night a building across from my dorm caught fire, and someone was blaring this from their stereo while the fire was being put out - Ahh freshman year!
2 Live Crew 1989- " Ahh Me so Horny", me Love you Long Time. I think this one is self explanitory! 
The Police - Wrapped Around Your Finger" - Amazing video!
Genesis/Phil Collins - In Too Deep, In The Air Tonight - I blast this one my car stereo!
U2- Under the Joshua Tree- With or Without You - AMAZING song!
Prince - Erotic City 1984

Jack and Diane 1982 John Cougar Mellancamp - ( RIP C.M. McRoy 
) -
Billy Idol - Eyes without a Face
Shannon - Let the Music Play
Yarborgh and People - Don’t Stop The Music
Ok, my list is way to long! 
Anything by Hall and Oates…they were my hands down favs 
Early 80s, I was a big fan of Duran Duran. About 86 or so, I was more of a hair metal fan. “Welcome to the Jungle” and “Mr. Brownstone” are still two of my favorite songs and I have “Rio” as a ringtone.
I also liked Hall and Oates, Air Supply, Chicago, Heart.
On the country side, I liked the Judds, Randy Travis, Exile, Alan Jackson.
U2’s album was just “The Joshua Tree”.
I was a U2 fan from Rattle and Hum on back to the early days of Boy. I liked the punk sound more than what they’re doing now.
Along that note,
Another State of Mind/Mommy’s Little Monster/Prison bound were all good albums by Social Distortion (who continues to make excellent music). Other 80’s punk is still in my playlist.
Jimmy Buffett has a plethora of hits as well, although in the 80’s he was more country than calypso.
Classic Rock is pretty awesome too - Allman Bros., Stones, Doors, the Dead, BS&T, Kinks, Queen, and Blondie are all in my ipod too.
You asked for it. As will soon become apparent, this is literally the kind of thing I LIE AWAY AT NIGHT pondering and worrying about.

I couldn’t think of an “X” group. This is Your Challenge!
OK GGOM… I am an OLD fella…
All of these songs were BIG… when I was in my 20s…
OK I have an original “White Album” (yes white disks)…
Darn too bad P to P is illegal now… you guys remember my schtick about starting over in 2000 at KU… I lived in student housing with a T3 ethernet connection… Well over about 18 months, I accumulated over 13 gigabytes of MP3’s you name the artist… I have at least a few.
Richard
Gerald - “XTC” was a band from the 80s…pretty weak one, but they meet your need for an ‘X’
My favorites bands from the 80s"
The Cure
Depeche Mode
Orchestral Maneuvers in the Dark
Icehouse
Bronski Beat
The Smiths
And, I must shamefully admit that I loved a lot of the one-hit wonder hair-bands…was a long-haired hell-raiser myself until the late 80s when I had my long, black locks shorn close & the top spiked.
