"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.

i've caught myself thinking this. "...a friend who bleeds is better / ...a friend who's dressed in leather"

It's perfect for them, no? I'm listening to it right now. I stand by my decision. Even the "day's dawning, skins crawling" works for the whole vampire thing. And of course, "then she's boxing clever" is a good line. The whole friggin song.

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