@VixenRogue and @molratty are awesome but wrong. In no real order:
Mysterious Ways -- U2
The Touch -- Stan Bush
Eye of the Tiger -- Survivor
Baba O'Riley -- The Who
Princes of the Universe -- Queen
I will explain before lying back down.

Mysterious Ways blends U2's traditional sound with the electronica that was becoming inexplicably a thing and actually makes both better. Bono is in full command of a shorter vocal range, but Mullen has broken through and the Edge is on top of his game. Clayton's there, too.
The Touch is the apex of human achievement. There is literally no goal that cannot be achieved with it playing in the background. It makes men puff out their chests and women carry themselves like goddesses.
Fin.
Fin.
Eye of the Tiger is the "what if I can't get a copy of The Touch but need to overcome some terrible obstacle" song for the ages. It tells the story of the Hero's Journey in a perfectly-related way.
Baba O'Riley is not merely a beautiful harmonic composition, with The Who at the tops of their games; it is also such a good song that one can play it while Emperor Palpatine falls down a reactor shaft, ruminating on his life, and you're sure this has happened before.
Princes of the Universe is, in one way and one way only, better than The Touch and Eye of the Tiger. Assume you're an immortal, born in some funny-accented land long ago, and you cannot die unless someone takes your head, and with it your power, and there can be only one.
Then.
Then.
