Wow, I have waaay too many to list. I'll name mainly the artists.

I liked many of Madonna's older hits (Open Your Heart, Cherish, and a few others), Michael Jackson (Thriller, Beat It..), Metallica (though I can't forgive them for the Napster thing), the Temptations, oh and many others.

What is Retro,
I personally consider songs from the 50's to be retro.

My favorite genra is Classic Rock so I am regularly listening to Music that was created in the Mid 60's to early 80's My favorite Classic Rock song is "Atom Heart Mother" from Pink Floyd

When I hear the term Retro I think of Jerry Lee Lewis or Elvis.

"Take On Me" by a-ha, a brilliant and awe-inspiring masterpiece.

Though I think a-ha in general is a wonderful group both back then and now, and has far more to them than the aforementioned song that has unfortunately become their lone hit.

I doubt that 80's is retro but I don't really care for stuff from the 50's, 60's and 70's. I Love so many songs from the 80's because they really defined a "retro" time.
Some of my personal favorites are:

-Break My Stride
-Walking On Sunshine
-Touch
-Dare
-Lion's rendition of the Transformers themesong :bloogrin
-Ghostbusters
-Don't Worry Be Happy
-Girls Just Wanna Have Fun
-I'll Supply The Love
-What a Feeling
-The Boys are Back in Town (this could be a 90's song, I'm not sure)
-Highway to the Dangerzone (same as above)
-Heat of the Momant

Sorry for the long list but all those are some of my favorite retro songs. Sigh... I miss the eighties...

Here's my previously posted I'll-probably-change-it-completely-in-about-an-hour Top 5:

1- The Velvet Underground - Heroin
2- Queen - Bohemian Rhapsody
3- Led Zeppelin - Stairway To Heaven
4- Jane's Addiction - Three Days
5- Pink Floyd - Wish You Were Here

It's actually changed since the last time. Yay.

Well, i'm going to say 60's stuff is retro, so...

I Had Too Much To Dream (Last Nite)-- The Electric Prunes
In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida-- Iron Butterfly
While My Guitar Gently Weeps-- The Beatles
All My Love-- Led Zeppelin
Stairway to Heaven-- Led Zeppelin
The Ballad of You, Me, and Pooneil-- Jefferson Airplane

etc.

"Retro" is awful subjective. I've rarely seen the word used to categorize music.

To a hip-hop fan, Digital Underground is "retro", even though the group was quite popular just 15 years ago.

To someone who was a teen in the 1980's, Neil Sedaka would be "retro".
