Hello contester,

1. All This Time/Sting (A. Tiffany)
2. Born to Run/Bruce Springsteen (F. Emmylou Harris)
3. Head Over Heels/Tears for Fears (C. ABBA)
4. Somebody to Love/Queen (D. Jefferson Airplane)
5. This Time/Bryan Adams (B. INXS)
6. Let's Dance/David Bowie (E. The Monkees)

Number 5 was a doozy.  I knew 1 (since, coincidentally, I had reviewed
that Sting album for a school newspaper back in the day), which meant
that INXS had to part of the answer to 5.  It sounded like a Bryan
Adams song, but I didn't know which one.  I scanned INXS song titles
until I finally found a Bryan Adams song title, which turned out to be
correct.

You can hear clips of the three songs that you didn't recognize
originally, including the relevant snippets found on Song Bites, at:

Technically, The Monkees song is called "Let's Dance On."  But since
everything else fits, and since The Monkees didn't record songs with
the other five titles, that must be the answer to 6.

Please let me know if you need any further confirmation.
