Orbital's "halcyon and on and on"
Gerard McMahon's original "Cry Little Sister"
David Bowie's "Suffragette City"
Mad Season "River of Deceit"
Off the top of my head, four that can not be improved on in my personal opinion.

No offense to David, but I simply found the Bauhaus cover easier to listen to.

Pig: A Fete Worse Than Death
Led Zeppelin: Trampled Underfoot
Pantera: Walk
Alice in Chains: Heaven Beside You
Tom Waits: Black Wings
Pink Floyd: Dogs
Bauhaus: Crowds
Opeth: Face of Melinda
The Who: Love Reign O'er Me
The Who: Bargain

YES. From that album, though, "If I Speak" or "Harlot of Nations"
Can't forget
"Signing Off"
"Faithless Aloyisus"
"Falling Stars" and
"On My Tongue"
BUT, I forgot "Graveyard Mary" by Screams for Tina.
It's probably that epic solo that does it.
Best. Solo. Ever.

Damn it, I misspelled Echo and the Bunneymen, should have been Echo and the Bunnymen. I fail.
Oh, and I forgot to mention the most perfect song of all:
Anywhere out of the world - Dead Can Dance.

Music of the Night by Gerard Butler and Emily Rossum, from the 2004 version of The Phantom of the Opera. It is simply beautiful.
