Wow. Mandolin is the core instrument of bluegrass, one of my favorite genres of music. Also thanks to David Grisman, it's one of the most featured instruments in new-acoustic postbluegrassey things. I can't possibly pick one favorite. Though I can recommend David Grisman :)
I'm surprised no one's mentioned anything off REM's Out of Time album. When I went through my (relatively brief) mandolin phase, the first thing I did was teach myself to play the ending bit from "Losing My Religion".

so I'm not sure which other songs I like
have mandolins, but I suspect lots do.
