I feel like the 80's has some of the best winners, but only because of the use of popular music that transcended just the awards night and rolling credits. All of these songs have survived the test of time. You can hear them on Oldies/soft rock stations today...trust me. That being said, "Footloose" is the best song and in hindsight, really should have won.
