For me, it has to be the 1812 Overture - Tchaikovsky.
The first real piece of classical music I ever listened to. The music teacher made a big play about the origins of the play and the significance of the bells & guns.
The opening of the Cello's and viola's is very a moving and beatuifully written piece

I've had a think and another few spring to mind. (no links because I'm on DII)
No-One But You (Only The Good Die Young) by Queen, but as sung by the cast of We Will Rock You. Full of passion and feeling. It always makes me think of those I have lost.
The piano ending to Layla (full version) by Derek and the Dominoes that was used (I believe it was used as the theme to Goodfellas). A beautiful piece that stands on it's own. Layla is good, but the piano ending makes it special.
The Rising by Bruce Springsteen. A tribute to the Firefighters on 9/11 . I heard this at a Springsteen concert in 2003 just after I returned from TELIC 1. The last couple of verses sent shivers down my spine.Do not meddle in the affairs of dragons, because you are crunchy and taste good with ketchup...
