I didn't bother to read the thread, so here I go with what I deem beautiful.

The Postal Service - The District Sleeps Alone Tonight
Alkaline Trio - Every Thug Needs A Lady
Alkaline Trio - Bleeder
Mike Felumlee - 64 Hours
Koufax - Bright Side
OLP - Blister
OLP - The Wonderful Future
Jawbreaker - Kissed The Bottle (this one hits me rather hard for some reason)

I think that's a nice start. I will post more as I think of them.
I faced death. I went in with my arms swinging. But I heard my own breath and had to face that I'm still living. I'm still flesh. I hold on to awful feelings. I'm not dead... My chest still draws breath. I hold it. I'm buoyant. There's no end.

Good choices (well, my favourite choices, :P).

Oh, I totally forgot about Nelly F's "Onde Estas"... just the fact that it's sung entirely in Portugese just kills me. :drool:

I'm just gonna add The Tragically Hip's "It's a Good Life If You Don't Weaken"... :cry: / :love: / :drool:
"if the nuremberg trials were applied to us foreign policy, every us president since 1945 would have been hanged." noam chomsky.

...and this is me hanging on / i'd burn our initials in the sun if it would shine / anxiety chokes me like razor wire / if hate's in your heart man, you'll take what you're given / wake up / i'm not the only one / it's never goodbye / go ahead and play dead / if everyone's a casualty, then take your time, there ain't no trouble / these wounds they will not heal / ambition can be a tricky thing / what the hell do i know about rape anyway? / this is not what i hoped for / ain't it so weird how it makes you a weapon / who will be there to tell me how stupid i am? / those living for death will die by their own hand / and it's me that I am spying on / pick up the pieces and live with the stars / hurry up and wait / things have never been so swell / they're always the ones who slowly drift / be great / ...and this is my world.

:drool: there's so many good songs suggested

i'll just say now, there's way to many matt good songs to name so lets just say you fans out there know them.

As for IME "Good for Sule" is stunning, and "Passenger" makes me want to break down and cry
"How can we justify spending so much on destruction and so little on life?" Matthew Good

"The white dove is gone, the one world has come down hard, so why not share the pain of our problems, when all around are wrong ways, when all around is hurt, i'll roll up in an odd shape and wait, untill the tide has turned.....with anger, i'm dead weight, i'm anchored"- IME, God Rocket (Into the Heart of Las Vegas) ^ Some say this song is about a terrorists thoughts before 911

"Pray for the sheep" Matt Good
"But it's alright, take the world and make it yours again" Matt Good

I felt it in the wind, and i saw it in the sky, i thought it was the end, i thought it was the 4th of July.

"Hold on, hold on children, your mother and father are leaving, hold on, hold on children your best freind's parents are leaving, leaving,.......*AHHH*! " - Death From Above - Black History Month

Death Cab for Cutie - a lack of color
Radiohead - motion picture soundtrack
the Weakerthans - slips and tangles
Bright Eyes - no lies, just love
Ben Folds - the luckiest
Thursday - standing on the edge of summer
Jewel - amen
Hanson - penny and me
the Postal Service - such great heights
Modest Mouse - bankrupt on selling
Onelinedrawing - but it was close
the Get Up Kids - i'll catch you

Wow, and I thought I'd have a hard time thinking of any.
don't look now, just keep watching the TV hating what's too see waiting for someone to say something that's right.

Ahhh, onelinedrawing, Death Cab For Cutie, and Koufax own me. And I'd like to think I played a large part in anyone here listening to Koufax. Ahhh.

Isn't life grand? I get into The Postal Service before I gave Death Cab a chance. I get into Jets To Brazil before I bother to check out Jawbreaker. I am not the smartest at times.

oh my god, that song is so amazing.

my list:

avril lavigne- i'm with you
juliana theory- the closest thing
radiohead- karma police

thats all i can think of right now
you have to, you just have to trust me
whoever i was then i can't ever be again
the faith you've found i've never felt
the terror held in wedding bells
the comfort in "there's no one else"
the truth be told, i'm never going to know
