* A few Christian hymns qualify. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v3IklHr8TlM&fmt=16 "God of Our Fathers"], [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ozThleyXdVQ&fmt=16 "Thy Strong Word"], and [http://www.cyberhymnal.org/htm/b/u/builton.htm "Built on the Rock"] among others. (That last one requires a browser with MIDI support).

** [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yNf0K1y7kGM "The Judgement"]. This song is...Wow. The powerful singing, the sweeping, uplifting music, and the power in the sheer feeling of it! YES!

* "Just Dance" by [[Lady Gaga]]. Seriously, it's freaking legend.

* [[Lemon Demon]]'s "Ask For Nothing" is one of those songs that seems uninteresting the first time, but gets better every time you listen to it. Even though on first listen it sounds like the time signature is screwed up, it's actually in 4/4. It's just disguised as what appears to be 17/8. That takes skill.

** Also of note is [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tPFYAd96WqE Bad Idea], at least for "Too Much Spare Time" for the flash work, and [http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=7084489538066105747 Word Disassociation] for getting away with [[Word Salad Lyrics]], and still being awesome.

* Kristoph Klover's rendition of Jordin Kare's [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Ryd_p20XEU Fire in the Sky] made Buzz Aldrin cry on live television. 'Nuff said.

* [["Weird Al" Yankovic]], Jim West, Steve Jay, Rubén Valtierra, and Jon "Bermuda" Schwartz. They have taken any and most genres released in the past thirty years and parodied and homaged it, while playing it, flawlessly.
