And, I have to confess that every time I hear Eminem's "cleaning out my closet" on the radio (ok, not thaaat many times), it gets me. As much of a jerk as he may be, he gets so damn personal. it creeps me.
Neil Young - old man (cheesy maybe, but a lot of Harvest and Everybody Knows This is Nowhere really get to me).
I'm amazed I haven't seen anyone mention the cure yet. I'm sure there must be something... or some leonard cohen.
I don't know this just makes me think about my angsty high school years. there were plenty of shivering spine soundtracks then.
and, I'm sure I'm ducking, but phil collin's "in the air tonight" gets me...I love the sounds and the echo on his voice and there's the story. I wonder how many folks had for their prom song this ditty 'bout murder and loss.

Greyhound, "Black and White"(a marvellous reggae gem in its own right, not an MJ cover)
Milton Nascimento, "Panis Angelicus"(this actually IS a 'cover', of a Cesar Franck song)
Art Ensemble of Chicago, "Charlie M"
Philip Glass' "The Unutterable"
Zep's "Night Flight"(amongst other enticements, the chorus is pure swing-metal)&Sabbath's "Supernaut"(da monstariff returns after the cod-Caribbean sunset, twice the supanova it was to begin with, etcetcetc)
Beatles, "Because" -- the vox only version
on a Pentangle live record, the short and solemn instrumental theme of John Dowland's ..."The Earl of Salisbury"?? (never quite sure of its title)
and in fact several more whose butterfly-y-shivery buzz hasn't much diminished after innumerable spins:Nina Simone's "Lilac Wine", Stone Roses's "Fool's Gold", REM's "Perfect Circle", M.Nascimento's & Chico Buaque's "Calice", Wyatt's "Free Will & Testament"

To name but a few...
Jeff Buckley - 'Last Goodbye': "Kiss me out of desire baby/ Not consolation"
Kate Bush - 'Hounds of Love', 'Cloudbusting'..."I still dream...."
Abba - 'Dancing Queen' Obvious choice but then you're not really human if you don't include this.
Slint - 'Good Morning Captain' Towards the end when the blank sheets of noise mutate into something more muscular
Spiderbait - 'Horschack Army'... More thrilling noise. See also...
Swans - 'Love Will Save You', 'Power and Sacrifice'
Lamb - 'Gorecki' When the beats come in....
*It's sort of cheating to name dance music, cos they've been lab-produced precisely to induce these effects. But still, while we're about it, here are some tracks that are all about bringing the beat back...
Chemical Brothers - 'Sunshine Underground'Underworld - 'Cowgirl'Leftfield - 'Song Of Life' Christ.....
and sundry others that aren't leaping to mind right now*
Coldplay - 'Daylight' (The chorus crashing in), 'Amsterdam'
Radiohead - er, almost everything. For know, 'A Reminder ("The night that we kissed and I really meant it")
Beethoven - 9th Symphony. Crashingly obvious. Sue me
Lauryn Hill - 'Ex-Factor' "Why won't you live for me?"
Bjork - 'Unison'
Doves - 'Pounding' Towards the end, the Marr guitar.
Smiths. Too many. How about 'Well I Wonder'? "Gasping, dying, but somehow still alive"
Air - 'La Femme D'Argent'. The floating synth melodies towards the end.
Aimee Mann - 'Wise up' Played by friend on return from club, high as. Damn near thought my head would come off.
er... N-Sync - 'Girlfriend' The Neps are frikkin brilliant at bridges. cf Justin Timberlake - 'Rock Your Body'
The first time I heart the beats on 'Smack Your Bitch Up'
And that's more than enough for now....
