My favorite song is "The Promise" by When in Rome.

"You're the best" is pretty awesome too though (from the Karate Kid movie)

edit: I didn't read the thread before posting, so I didn't see quasmo's post..

I'd say U2, but they were ahead of their time and didn't really sound all that '80s.

So I'll go and say:

T'ill Tuesday - Voices Carry ~Sounds even better live nowadays.
