Just out of curiosity. Mine would probably be Love Will Tear Us Apart by Joy Division or something by Bob Dylan.

Probably Thru the Eyes of Ruby by the Pumpkins. More recently though "Duel" by Swervedriver or "Sluttering" by Jawbreaker.

That's a hard one, but at the moment I'd say 'Someone Great" by LCD Soundsystem

Hmmm...hard question. It's tough to decide on a "favorite", but I'll try.

Maybe this could be called my favorite. Right now anyway.

Runner-up: "Alison" by Slowdive. It's the epitome of shoegaze. I love the lyrics and the feel of it; that song is a kind of utopia to me.

World's End Girlfriend has some amazing songs as well...

Definitely don't have just one favorite.

Can pick one right now though. Pictures at an Exhibition - Modest Mussorgsky (as arranged for orchestra by Maurice Ravel)

Probably 'Deep Waters' by the Dirty Three. That'd soundtrack my coda, had I my way.

It's hard for me to say just one, but probably one of these:

Flamenco Sketches - Miles Davis
Clair de Lune - Claude Debussy
Nocturne in C-sharp minor - Frédéric Chopin
Thin Air - Anathema
Metaphor - In Flames
Selkies: The Endless Obsession - Between the Buried and Me
Harvest - Opeth (and just about everything else by them)
Limbs - Agalloch
Trains - Porcupine Tree
Capitel I - I Troldskog Faren Vild - Ulver

Only touched on some metal, if I get into it this will have at least another like 50 songs in it so I'll stop here and just say + more metal stuff.

I have a hard time holding back from singing /screaming along to the end of this.

You gotta be crazy, you gotta have a real need.
You gotta sleep on your toes, and when you're on the street,
You gotta be able to pick out the easy meat with your eyes closed.
And then moving in silently, down wind and out of sight,
You gotta strike when the moment is right without thinking.

And after a while, you can work on points for style.
Like the club tie, and the firm handshake,
A certain look in the eye and an easy smile.
You have to be trusted by the people that you lie to,
So that when they turn their backs on you,
You'll get the chance to put the knife in.

You gotta keep one eye looking over your shoulder.
You know it's going to get harder, and harder, and harder as you
get older.
And in the end you'll pack up and fly down south,
Hide your head in the sand,
Just another sad old man,
All alone and dying of cancer.

And when you loose control, you'll reap the harvest you have sown.
And as the fear grows, the bad blood slows and turns to stone.
And it's too late to lose the weight you used to need to throw
around.
So have a good drown, as you go down, all alone,
Dragged down by the stone.

I gotta admit that I'm a little bit confused.
Sometimes it seems to me as if I'm just being used.
Gotta stay awake, gotta try and shake off this creeping malaise.
If I don't stand my own ground, how can I find my way out of this
maze?

Deaf, dumb, and blind, you just keep on pretending
That everyone's expendable and no-one has a real friend.
And it seems to you the thing to do would be to isolate the winner
And everything's done under the sun,
And you believe at heart, everyone's a killer.

Who was born in a house full of pain.
Who was trained not to spit in the fan.
Who was told what to do by the man.
Who was broken by trained personnel.
Who was fitted with collar and chain.
Who was given a pat on the back.
Who was breaking away from the pack.
Who was only a stranger at home.
Who was ground down in the end.
Who was found dead on the phone.
Who was dragged down by the stone.
