try these:

NWO - Ministry - I love anger

A Warm Place - nin - I love beautiful suffering

Davidian - Machine Head - I love hatred

there are a thousand more songs like these, many by Pantera, Children Of Bodom, etc etc but these three are the easiest and had an immediate effect the first time I heard them

First time I ever heard We're In this Together by Nine Inch Nails. That instantly marked my mind.

So did Sabotage by The Beastie Boys, mainly cos of the video though.

Rush - Tears

Diana Ross - My Old Piano

Tom Scott - Today

The Specials - Ghost Town, I grew up near Coventry and I have never heard a song that so perfectly captures the spirit of a place and time since.

The Jam - Going Underground, still one of my top ten songs ever

Eric B and Rakim - Paid In Full, the first proper hip hop record I ever bought

[Andy_Tanner]

just a couple

Van Halen, Jump - always makes me feel good no matter how down i get.

The Walkmen - The Rat - same reasons as Jump really.

two great break up songs about rediscovering yourself and moving on.

[Ivanho]

Guns N' Roses - Welcome To The Jungle. From the minute I heard that opening riff, I knew I was listening to something special.

David Lee Roth - Just Like Paradise. One of the best summer songs ever.

AC/DC - Highway To Hell. Another Riff-tastic stomper.

[dreamylittledream]

Snow Brigade and/or Am I Wry? by Mew. Thanks again, Jumble Jumble!

Hmmmm 156 as well surely!

(although the initial guitar line on Am I wry is just most addictive thing ever)

And anyway recently

We Used to be Friends - Dandy warhols

Somewhere only we know - Keane

A Stain to Never Fade - Easyworld

Gender Bombs - The Stills

[Suizid]

Hmmmm 156 as well surely!

Excellent choice. SheSpider could happily be in there too, but I had to stop myself at two tracks. And don't call me shirley.

Why has no one mentioned Linkin Park - Faint? Best into you could ever dream up.

[linkster]

Mmm....Skyscraper I Love You by Underworld, heard it in my mates car. Thought it sounded interesting, so asked him to turn it up. I loved every minute of it, so got the 12" the following Saturday.

Actually, Tongue by the same band is another one that instantly endeared itself.

[futureshock]

You can add Dark Train to that list of Underworld tracks.

[futureshock]

Fuck it, who am I kidding?

Add Jumbo, Rez, Born Slippy, Thing in a Book, 8 Ball, 2 Months Off, Dirty Epic, Moaner, King of Snake, Juanita/Kiteless/To Dream of Love, Banstyle/Sappys Curry and Rowla to that list too.

Rush - Tears

Wow, that's leftfield indeed.

I would say Losing It is more memorable.

[pretentious_helvetica]

Groove Is In The Heart by Deelite.

Fuck, one of the best songs ever.

[Rin]

PS: Soundgarden are rubbishness.

[Wintermute]

PS: Soundgarden are rubbishness.

After hearing the first single the Yeah Yeah Yeahs had out, I thought they were dire.

Then I heard 'Maps'.

It's fucking beautiful that song.
