1. Devo - "Gates Of Steel"

The performance is from 1996 but the song was released in 1980. (There are performances from the '80s, but this is my favourite performance of the song.)

2. "Backward Town"- The Grapes Of Wrath

One of Canada's underappreciated bands from the 80's, and this is them at their most wistful:
