Credit for having two Pet Shop Boys songs that were't singles from their Actually album. Credit lost for having loads of Meatloaf (and you even remembered the space between Meat and Loaf)! :P Also minus more credit for having just about every other cheesy song I can think of. But you seem to be a child of the eighties (like myself) so I'll let you off. :lol:

My most moving songs:

Mr Vain - by some artist I've forgotten (a song about the tragedy of a man who cannot love another because of his love for himself)
The Key, The Secret - Urban Cookie Collective (a classic ballad)
Informer - Snow (I shed a tear every time I hear this song)
This Beat Is Technotronic - Technotronic (the lyrics will just break your heart)
Altern8 - Activ8 (the title can't convey the depth this song has)
Charlie - The Prodigy (a sweet love song where Charles conveys his love with ambiguous statements)
Injected with a Poison - Praga Khan (a true romance tale based on Romeo and Juliet)

Those truly are the most moving songs... ;)

Since I'm bored (I'm downloading Ubuntu Linux, I thought I'd give it a go, as I'm curious about Linux)

Finally, something we can agree on! If I could get some of these PC games to work on Linux, I would have abandoned Windows a long time ago.

Anyway, moving songs...

The middle section of 'Jupiter' from Holst's The Planets Suite
Barber's Adagio for strings
2nd movement from Rachmaninoff's 2nd symphony
Intermezzo from Respeghi's Cavalier Rusticana
Anything by Eric Satie
Anything by Debussy
Shubert's Ave Maria


I find Wagner rather inspiring (in that it inspires me to invade Poland).

Here's a (rather small) list of the songs I consider to be the most beautiful:

Switchfoot - On Fire
In Flames - Acoustic Medley
Metallica - One
KoRn - Daddy (this song had me in tears the first time I heard it)
Give a man a fish, and he can eat for a day. But hit a man with a brick, and you can have all his fish. And his wife.

I second this, and then some.

Have you ever heard "Clubbed To Death 2"
... equally (if not MORE) awesome...
... then there's Clubbed to Death - Hybrid Remix (JH Edit)
... OMG I have to pee they're so awesome.

[EDIT]Wow... apparently you get a "[size=1]You have posted a message with more emoticons that this board allows. Please reduce the number of emoticons you've added to the message[/size]" message for having one more emoticon than above. (><)

Clubbed to Death is an amazing song. It was on my walkman for a long time. Think I'll have to do a youtube search for clubbed to death 2. :)
