Martha and the Muffins- Echo Beach

Psychedelic Furs- Love My Way

The Feelies- Dancing Barefoot

Stevie ray Vaughn- Texas Flood

Echo and the Bunnymen- Do it Clean, Villier's Terrace, Crocodiles (If you can find live tracks, they were great)

Screaming Blue Messiahs - Wild Blue Yonder

B-52s - 52 Girls

The Church- Under the Milky Way, Reptile

Stray Cats- Rumble in Brighton

Del Fuegos- Nervous and Shakin'

Pere Ubu - Birdies (A little weird,, but a killer bass riff)

Wall of Voodoo- Back in Flesh

Plasmatics- PlasmaJam

Dead Kennedys- Holiday In Cambodia

Police- Driven to Tears

Depeche Mode - Never Let me Down Again

Devo- We're Thru Being Cool

Bob Mould- Wishing Well

Charlatans UK- Sprosten Green

the Cult- Love, The Pheonix (actually, the entire "Love" album was great,, their best work by FAR, IMO.)

The Smiths- How Soon is Now, What difference does it make, Some Girls Mothers (are bigger than others) ...Yeah, I know Morrissey is a bit over the top, but the guitars in old Smiths songs are terrific. And frankly, you can't really discuss the 80s without the gender benders.)

Mission UK- Tower of Strength

Robert Gordon- My Gal is Red Hot (your gal ain't doodly squat) Robert Gordon is also a good way to introduce yourself to the greatness that was Danny Gatton, a local boy from down in St. Mary's county Maryland, and one of the best guitar players you'll ever hear.

Never forget the mistakes of the past... Back Street Boys.

And Milli Vanilli.

By BackStreet Boys I assume you mean New Kids on the Block. BSB were 90s. I think NKOTB might have been early 90s as well. And I'm pretty sure Milli Vanilli was early 90s.

Anyway, how can you have a music collection from the 80s, on vacation, and not have "Vacation" by the GoGos on it?

Also:

Sweet Dreams - Eurythmics

Take On Me - Aha

Money For Nothing - Dire Straits

Don't Dream It's Over - Crowded House

Africa - Toto

and one of my all-time favorites:

Killing Moon - Echo & the Bunnymen

Also, I recommend renting Grosse Pointe Blank if you need any more inspiration. It's a mid-90s movie about an assassin who goes back to his high school reunion - the soundtrack is loaded with great 80s songs...
