Can you place these numbers into 5 rows of 4 such that each row totals 20?

Sure.
1,5,6,8
2,4,6,8
3,4,5,8
4,4,5,7
5,5,5,5
Method:
Started from the bigger numbers, and partitioned into 5 parts of 20: 8,8,4, 8,7,5 and so on.
Then swapped a big number with two smaller ones (with the same sum) on another row until I had 4 numbers on each row.
With some fiddling, it's also possible to get all the columns to add up to 25:
1,8,6,5
5,4,7,4
5,5,5,5
6,4,2,8
8,4,5,3
And here's a magic square (with duplicates, unavoidably) followed by a row of fives:
1,6,8,5
5,7,4,4
8,5,4,3
6,2,4,8
5,5,5,5
And finally:
4 4 8 4
8 5 4 3
1 5 6 8
7 6 2 5
5 5 5 5
This has
* 20 on all 5 rows
* 20 on all 4 long diagonals
* 25 in all 4 columns
* a magic square on the first 4 rows

A bit late to the party and cannot beat the excellent answer from @Bass.
I worked out the number of distinct solutions bearing in mind they can be further permuted by ordering each row and the row sequence. I found
16 distinct solutions
I did this by first finding all the sets of four digits which sum to 20.
There are 17 sets of digits
1 3 8 8
1 4 7 8
1 5 6 8
1 6 6 7
2 3 7 8
2 4 6 8
2 5 5 8
2 5 6 7
3 4 5 8
3 4 6 7
3 5 5 7
3 5 6 6
4 4 4 8
4 4 5 7
4 4 6 6
4 5 5 6
5 5 5 5
I then permuted them for each row so that each digit is used the right number of times.
These are the 16 solutions
1 3 8 8 1 3 8 8 1 3 8 8 1 3 8 8
2 4 6 8 2 5 5 8 2 5 5 8 2 5 6 7

There are 17 sets of digits
1 3 8 8
1 4 7 8
1 5 6 8
1 6 6 7
2 3 7 8
2 4 6 8
2 5 5 8
2 5 6 7
3 4 5 8
3 4 6 7
3 5 5 7
3 5 6 6
4 4 4 8
4 4 5 7
4 4 6 6
4 5 5 6
5 5 5 5
I then permuted them for each row so that each digit is used the right number of times.
These are the 16 solutions
1 3 8 8 1 3 8 8 1 3 8 8 1 3 8 8

A bit late to the party and cannot beat the excellent answer from @Bass.
I worked out the number of distinct solutions bearing in mind they can be further permuted by ordering each row and the row sequence. I found
16 distinct solutions
I did this by first finding all the sets of four digits which sum to 20.
There are 17 sets of digits
1 3 8 8
