I agree with some of the choices like

Billy Joel Pressure
Styx Too Much Time on my hand
Rod Stewart Young Turks

and also my own like
Huey Lewis and the News Heart and Soul
Phil collins You can't hurry love (it's motown but has a new wave sound 2 it)

"The Final Countdown" by Europe.

I actually love this song. And I generally can't stand Huey Lewis.

How about the power of love. That was more new wave sounding than any of his big top 40 hits.

Back to the Future! Jis!

One New Wave song I've always liked was the song "Win In The End" from movie Teen Wolf. Y'know, when they're playing the basketball game in the end? Yeah...

That's funny cuz I have always thought that Huey Lewis' Power of love was one of the more non-wave songs that they had, the reason being it was one of their peak hits when they were already big in the charts. Their early stuff tend to be more new wave-influenced like Heart and Soul which I have mentioned and Do you believe in Love. They are actually one of my favorites straight up top 40 rock bands (and there aren't that many) and they created some very catchy tunes. I just don't care for their later stuff, like after 1988 or some time around there.
