Ideally pre-CGI and responsible for blowing your adolescent mind / soiling yer grundies.
This does both and will take some beating - probably NRSFW (Not Really Suitable For Work)
I've been listening to The Radio Dept...
...and Loney, Dear. This still gives me tingles some 6 years after first hearing it.
I love songs that just build and build like that.
Absolutely this. Better Scream and 7 Minutes To Midnight are just fantastic, and I think Pete Wylie always had more 'edge'... whatever that is.
Julian Cope had some great stuff and is always entertaining; Echo & The Bunnymen had some fantastic singles but were one of the dullest bands I ever...
I can't help but think that it's a bit 'strange' or unlikely that 3 inexperienced pilots, who had only ever flown two-seaters or used simulations before that fateful day, managed to hit their targets so resoundingly with commercial airliners.

Lots of great free downloads here from one of the best labels in America - http://www.last.fm/label/Slumberland+Records/tracks

That's a great shout. A former girlfriend once told me she'd got a song by "one of those bands you like" on a free CD with a newspaper; turns out it was this.
Condo F*cks (Yo La Tengo in disguise) do great versions of it - both loud and fuzzy, and acoustic and sweet.
I reckon another of the...
Eels have a beautiful way with melancholy and E has such a wonderful voice. Sitting here looking through old photos and stuff with a nice glass of red in my hand, they can bring a teeny tear to the eye.
