Hands down, it's Metallica - Orion
Its one of the few songs that i can listen too whenever, wherever, in whatever mood im in.
This is also the song thats inspired me to save the money (Which i'm still doing), and buy a bass guitar. Cliff Burton's playing in this is so amazing.

for me its a tie between "the tourist" and "time" by tom waits
"time" is probably the only song that makes me get teared up (http://www.songmeanings.net/lyric.php?lid=50298). i can't even put it into words, so maybe someone more articulate than me can try (laz)
Mod fuck. Like so many others, I'm having trouble picking one. From the top 4 of "Hotel California" by the Eagles, "Right Side of the Bed" by Atreyu, "Shesmovedon" by Porcupine Tree, and "I Know You Are, But What Am I?" by Mogwai, I'd probably have to go with "Hotel California". I can relate it to so many things in my life, and I always relax when I hear it, no matter what mood or state of mind (lol now) I'm in.

Its clearly Trailer trash by Modest Mouse or There is a light that never goes out by the Smiths.
But Seriously despite the utterly ridiculously prefectness of There is a light, and even despite all the emotions There is a light brings me Modest takes it. I have a tendency to react rather strongly to certain songs (calling me unafraid to care) but no song I've ever heard brings to mind as many feelings as Trailer trash.
It somehow manages to both convey the utter sense of uneeded loss and broken hearts while at the same bringing a bit of a smile to my face. Its hopeful. Its thankful. It conjures up memories of friendships lost and living and reminds me not to screw up the shit I have. Unlike 99% of art it neither pretends everythings rosy (even not shitty), nor that theres nothing around to live for. It means alot to me.

I love this song too, but my favourite of all time is probably ELO - Mr Blue Sky. I've loved this song since I first heard it when I was about 3 years old, and I still love it to this day.
good stuff! my favourite Atreyu song is Her Portrait in Black though, annoyingly not on any of their albums as far as i'm aware :/ their You Give Love A Bad Name cover is awesome as well
Reel Big Fish - She's Famous Now
At the moment, anyway.

lol this is hard, I have no idea, but right now I'd have to say it would be Blind Guardian - Another Stranger Me .
Under Pressure - Bowie/Queen
Clever lyrics and arrangement with excellent vocals. Driven by the greatest bass line ever, the song gradually builds to a climax that soars beyond the musical stratosphere before ending unassumingly. Written with the backdrop of Conservative Britain, Under Pressure captures a snapshot of a trying period in our history, yet there is a naive and hopeful quality about it.
It's altogether a feel good song for me, I cannot help but smile when the bass kicks in =]
Edit: kickass video too.

lol
anyway, my favorite would be Sufjan Stevens - They Are Night Zombies!! They Are Neighbors!! They Have Come Back From the Dead!! Aahh
if i had a band with 6 or 7 members on it, this is the song i want to perform with me on the vocals. this song is too beautiful to exist. if i can pick 3 then the other 2 are the new pornographers - the bleeding heart show, and broken social scene - anthems for a seventeen year-old girl.
this is too hard. :(
np: the go! team - huddle formation

The 2nd solo is just awesome.

Right Side of the Bed was what got me hooked on Atreyu when I heard it on the Headbanger's Ball (most of HB 1 and 2 suck, I regret buying them). Besides that song, Our Sick Story (Thus Far) is fucking amazing. The energy... mostly the drums. The lyrics are... I dunno, I like the story it tells, even if it is a fucked up one.
The Crimson, The Remembrance Ballad, and Bleeding Mascara get honorable mentions.
