"Bittersweet Symphony" by The Verve is the quintessential Cowboy Bebop song.
"On The Roof Again" by Eve 6 is the quintessential Ranma 1/2 song.
"Staring at the Sun" by The Offspring is the quintessential Trigun song.
"The Scientist" by Coldplay is the quintessential John Crichton / Aeryn Sun song.
"Possession" by Sarah McLachlan is the quintessential Mulder/Scully song. You'd probably argue better ones, but dammit for me that will always be their song.
I have no quintessential Buffy the Vampire Slayer song. I have seven dozen and can't list them all.
But..."Pure Morning" by Placebo and "I Will Love You" by Fisher and "Loverman" by Nick Cave tie as the quintessential Spike/Buffy song.

Edit to add: If I were writing a real Spike/Faye fic for CB, "Promise" by Eve 6 would be their song.

Of course, "I Wil Love You" just makes me want to cry buckets into the ocean.
and..
