This Charming Man - The Smiths
Something Big - Jim O'Rourke
Gypsy - Fleetwood Mac
Farewell Farewell - Fairport Convention
 
Iris- Goo Goo Dolls, means something to anyone in love
(It's hard) Letting you go- Bon Jovi. Ever since I stopped talking to my baby (bout 6 months now) this song puts a lump in my throat
 
As cheesey as it sounRAB, the song Konstantine by Something Corporate effects me sometimes :-S
Mainly depending on the mood I'm in at the time of listening
 
i say this every single time and its a cliche but ****it- its affected me.
radiohead- creep

also:
radiohead- 2+2=5
BRMC- head up high
BRMC- suddenly

and a lot of beatles songs
 
I certainly won't say anything about this anthem, or especially about the way it was sung in that stadium.

Other than...incredible! The most rousing anthem I've ever heard and sang with real pride.
Almost makes me jealous not being Welsh.
 
'Lost Cause' by Beck. Sure it's a song about never being able to shag Winona Ryder again, but blimey. Any man can empathise with that.
 
nirvana unplugged version of "where do you sleep at night" gave me the creeps when i was 12, and i still am amazed at the chill it gives me.

"mother"-john lennon, something both me and my dad can relate too

"how do you sleep at night"-what brought john lennon from "classic old rocker" to "dude who won't take **** from no-one" to me.

"sliver" nirvana, just because ive always hated having to visit grandma
 
Molded into my mind since I was a kid:
Adam's Song- Blink 182
Killing in the Name- Rage Against the Machine
Distance- Cake
Hanginaround- Counting Crows
Zorabie- The Cranberries

More recently:
Organize- Contravene
More To It- Malignus Youth
Cries of the Past- UnderOATH
Giving Up Hurts the Most- UnderOATH
First Day of My Life- Bright Eyes
Haligh, Haligh, A Lie, Haligh- Bright Eyes
2:45 A.M.- Elliott Smith
Say Yes- Elliott Smith
In My Eyes- Minor Threat
Good Guys (Don't Wear White)- Minor Threat
I'm Back Sleeping, Or Fucking, Or Something- Moss Icon


Long list, but all these songs have deeply affected me and partially determined the person that I am now.
