I would have to say "Never Tear us Apart" by INXS (what year was that made?).

Orinoco Flow by Enya
Serious note: Yeah, that'd be in my top 3.
Funny note: I'd also do the "Prodigy vs. Enya" mash-up from a couple of years back. "Smack my Orinoco Flow Up". 'Nuff said. It's so danceable it's surprising.
Serious note again: Flip a coin and go for "Heaven Knows" or "The Promise", by When In Rome.
Follow it up with another coin flip: "Don't Tell Me" or "Living on the Ceiling", by Blancmange.
Perfect 80s blend of danceability for those that don't care, lyrical content for those who do, and a similar blend of rhythm vs. melody for the right-brained and left-brained folks in the audience. Underrated floorfillers.

that Cure song is pretty beautiful- coming from the fact that it was a present from Robert Smith to his wife

How are we defining a "beautiful" song? a great love song lyrically or a song that has a great melody? I would have to say that the most beautiful song for me from the '80's has to be Don Henley's "The Boys Of Summer".

Boys of Summer is my ALL time favorite song. . . . Don Henley's words changed my life forever - literally.

Another Beautiful 80's song is "Close My Eyes" by Paul Janz. Not many will know it because it's Canadian, but it's well worth a download 8)

"Cloudbusting" by Kate Bush.
I find this song devastatingly pretty as well.
But, I mean.... the cover of the single is my avatar, after all. ;)
