Some songs are just moving. Deep. Not the same everyday crap.
Songs that stir up some emotion.

For example:

Live - Lightning Crashes
Alanis Morisette - Uninvited
Scorpions - Winds of Change
Alice in Chains - I Stay Away
Clapton - Tears in Heaven
Dylan - Knocking on Heaven's Door
Simon & Garfunkel - Bridge Over Troubled Waters
Simon & Garfunkel - Sound of Silence
Simon & Garfunkel - The Boxer
All Floyd
Many Radiohead songs

I listened to many of these songs tonight.
Feel free to add to this list.

Nice list ThePresence. I haven't heard the Alice in Chains (yet) but I agree with all of the others.

Here's a few of my favorites, that spring to sleepy mind (I could probably fill in the missing 20 letters in the morning):

Tori Amos - Little Earthquakes, 1,000 Oceans (many others)
Fiona Apple - Loveridden
Grant Lee Buffalo - Sing Along
Kate Bush (w/David Gilmour & Trio Bulgarka) - Rocket's Tail
Chris Cornell - Say Goodbye
Happy Rhodes - Serenading Genius
Stone Temple Pilots - Big Empty
Richard & Linda Thompson - Dimming of the Day
Tanita Tikaram - Consider the Rain

Ayreon - Love
Ayreon - Come Back To Me

Actually, Ayreon has a lot of powerful songs. Probably my favorite band ever.

Loreena McKennitt has many also.

If I'm not mistaken, that's not originally their song.

You are correct and they should be shot for doing such a horrible remake of a great song.
