Well, I'd have to say Memory...by myself. It's a song I wrote after my best friend ran infront of a train 5 years ago. If anyone would like to hear it, I'll send it xfire. I'm sure it's most powerful to me because of its personal meaning. I'll never know why he left because he never reached out to me or anyone else. I think it was and is the hardest thing I've ever gone through.

#1 of all time for me: "The Face of Love" - duet with Eddie Vedder and Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan, from the "Dead Man Walking" sound track. The raw emotion in this song just rips my heart out every time. Listen to those voices!! It is beauty and joy mingled with pain and desperate, hopeless love. If I'm driving my car when this song comes on I literally have to pull over until I've cried it out.

A good runner-up: "Off He Goes" - Pearl Jam (No Code) - ok so I guess Eddie Vedder gets to me - but this song is about the hope and joy of rediscovering old friendships, and the sadness and disappointment of losing them again. Oh, the lost opportunities! How we wish we had done things differently, way back when! The yearning for that past that will never be again...

I am corny just like Mxy.  I am very patriotic and the National Anthem really gets to me....all three verses (we only sing the first verse).  On a more spiritual note, I have to be careful if Bob Seager's version of "Little drummer boy" comes on when I am alone in the car.  My eyes will well up with tears and I just might drive off the road.  Same thing happens around Christams time if I hear "Christmas shoes".

Týþhooñ you mentioned some Metallica songs and I have to agree that many of those get to me too...they are very cathartic.  Try listening to some of their less well known songs though...."Mama said" wow what a song!

Harry Chapin's "Cats in the Cradle".  Makes every parent, especially us dads, realize what really is important.

Wow, I really wasn't expecting this thread to be such a big hit!!  I guess I'll add a few more songs that I know of...

"The Show Must Go On" and "These are the Days of Our Lives" both by Queen (again, both made with Freddie's deteriorating health in mind)

"Breath" by Breaking Benjamin

"Never too Late" by Three Days Grace

and I'm sure I've heard a couple others, I just can't think of them right now XD

I'll go for a cliché : Eye of the Tiger :) always gets me pumped up!
that or The final countdown
both good old school songs

But I want to say that I loved "le gars de la compagnie" from Les Cowboys Fringuants.. wich is obviously a french song that you don't know about  :XD: and it talks about the begining of the 20th century in Quebec with a twisted ending (I just love those).

One Vision by Queen

Loved it when this would come on over the radio on Liberty City Rock in GTA IV.
