For example, Maroon 5 and The Killers sing lots of songs that sound like they could have been recorded in the 80s.
Can you name some specific songs that you've heard in the last 5 or so years that struck you as sounding 80s-ish?

Interpol's entire first cd had a very 80s feel (think Echo & The Bunnymen, Joy Division and The Smiths)
Goodbye Girls, and Black Cat by the band Broadcast has an early 80s synth-pop sound.
Swing Swing by The All American Rejects reminds me of early XTC.
Speed Of Sound by Coldplay sounds like U2 meets The Simple Minds.

Not that I like it but Madonna - Music (guess shes goin back to her hayday 80s roots!). Of course the artists who sample 80s hits like the not great Rihanna - SOS. Tainted Love is a lot better but still I guess you give her a few props...
