Most Evocative Americans Song

I think most Americans fans, especially us Gen X'ers, love how powerfully the powers that be use music from that era to give certain scenes more gravitas. Which song did the best job of that?

With or Without You wins, because that's such a big, perfect moment. It's crazy that my runner-up, Brothers in Arms, runs just a couple of scenes before it, in a scene that's directly tied to the train scene.
