I could never stop listening to any of these songs. Unless I witnessed a murder taking place with one of these songs playing. Or something equally awful.
tracklist
| 1 | Dire Straits : Money for Nothing |
|
Probably one of my favorite songs to open anything. The quiet whispery into that just smashes into the guitars will probably never be equaled.

| 2 | 13th Floor Elevators : You're Gonna Miss Me |
|
When I first watched High Fidelity, I stopped the movie 10 seconds in and spent 5 minutes finding this song. The build is what makes it so great.

| 11 | Ryan Adams and the Cardinals : The Hardest Part |
|
Probably my favorite Ryan Adams song ever. It's got those heartache country lyrics and voice, but is builds just right and always makes me say "Oh hell yes" at the "I've been turned around/I've been mystified by a true love" part.

| 12 | John Cale : Hallelujah |
|
Yeah, this is the real start of the sad/bittersweet part. I like John Cale's version so much more than Jeff Buckley's. He has a bigger fuller voice, which makes all the difference for me.

Well, I guess I was wrong, this song is 1 second over 4:40: my copy of the album lied to me. Regardless, this song is the perfect end to this. I've probably listened to it hundreds of times (120, last.fm informs me).
