Talking Heads count on a technicality I think--lots of their "best-loved" songs weren't really well-known until Stop Making Sense came out.
Movies are probably a good way to go here. There must be stuff that never really hit it big until they were featured in a movie. I seem to recall the love for "Bohemian Rhapsody" lapsing until Wayne's World revived it but I was like 11 at the time so what would I know.
Alternately, stuff that was sampled or remixed and then the original became a fixture?
