Choosing just one from each act:

Depeche Mode: Blasphemous Rumours
Human League: Don't You Want Me
Ultravox: Vienna
Donna Summer: Sunset People
OMD: Souvenir
Soft Cell: Bedsitter
Yazoo: Only You
Visage: Fade To Grey
Devo: That's Good

And finally, a slower, more moody, effort to end the whole thing:
Japan: Ghosts

what about more modern stuff, like less well-known or possibly more out-there contemporaries to Some Girls, The Show or The Knife?
