This post is bound to be edited with a whole lot more entries... anyway, let's hear it from everyone else in the meantime!

"Bitter Sweet Symphony" - The Verve (ditto above)
"Nights In White Satin" - The Moody Blues (buy the 2008 remaster of their Days Of Future Passed album immediately if you haven't already!
)
"Cello Suite Prelude" - Bach (A classical music entry)
And any songs from Roxy Music's Avalon album. And pretty much any songs by Dido... let alone CM and SN!
Also, "Imagine" - John Lennon, but that's always implied!
Actually, there are of course too many Lennon songs that are beautiful to pragmatically list, but "MG" and "I" are the most beautiful of all!
There are so many other beautiful songs I will probably never be able to mention them all. However, everyone else here seems to be doing a pretty good job of it (with several songs listed I also find beautiful (mostly the pre-90s material))!
Keep them coming! I know I will!
