With or Without You (U2, but could be almost anything off The Joshua Tree)
Vox (Sarah McLachlan's first hit from 1988)
Running Up That Hill (Kate Bush)
Here Comes the Rain Again (Eurythmics, but I could stick any number of Annie & Dave's songs here)
Try (Blue Rodeo, one of the best Canadian bands to come out of the eighties)

Footnote: As someone who hit his teens basically in 1980 and graduated university for good in 1989, this is a tough list for me because I loved so much music of that era as I went through high school and university.
