Ooo, fun.

Let's see. In no particular order, and excluding obvious Mac-related items like Sara and Beautiful Child:

From Dead Can Dance:
"Song of the Sibyl"
"Cantara" and
"Desert Song" all from the amazing Toward the Within.

Eh, screw it - actually, the entirety of Toward the Within. Haha. If I believed in such a thing as the divine in a deity sense, I'd swear up and down that Lisa Gerrard is its mouthpiece. If you've never heard Dead Can Dance before, I urge you to check out those links. I also really love what she did for the movie Man on Fire.

From Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds:

"Oh My Lord" - This is, to me, a perfect song. I'm pretty sure Warren Ellis is the bastard love child of Paganini and Rasputin.

"Into My Arms" and "The Ship Song" (yes, that's John Cale & Chrissie Hynde on the stage there - at one point in that show, they all do "Ship of Fools" together, very cool).

From Tori Amos:

From Leonard Cohen:
"Dance Me to the End of Love"

Jeff Buckley's cover of Leonard Cohen's "Hallelujah" It's just stunning. I love Leonard Cohen with a mad passion, but Buckley's version of his song is so good. I also like John Cale's version, but think Rufus Wainwright ought to knock it the hell off.

From The Sisters of Mercy:
"Some Kind of Stranger"

The gorgeous piece "The Heart Asks Pleasure First" from Michael Nyman's amazing soundtrack for the movie The Piano.

ETA: Forgot some! Fear Factory's "Resurrection" & Opeth's "Harvest" and anything off of The Gathering's Mandylion.

All the same, baby. All the same.

"You never know what I'll do. I've resequenced my show. I'm a master at sequencing. I'm the one who sequenced for Fleetwood Mac. I sequenced 'Rumours.' Everyone loves my sequences. They're fun.''
