Silent Lucidity by Queensryche. And yes, I know it was released in 1990, but 1990 is the final year of the 80's . . . at least for anyone who understands how to count.
Even though I was born in 1990, my dad was HUGE on sharing his musical tastes with me (which is why I learned to play any and all percussion), so I would have to throw in anything by Van Halen. To hear Alex Van Halen play a double bass at the start of "Hot For Teacher" just really gets you going. Its a constant song on my ever changing workout playlist.
