Okay! As per the 101 books thread, post a song that you think people must hear and your reasons why. Post only one song at a time please. You can post as often as you like but someone different must post first. I'll keep a list of songs here so people can see what's already been suggested.

Off we go!

1. "Halleluja" - Leonard Cohen

This song has been covered to death, but the original is by Leonard Cohen. Most people probably know it from Rufus Wainwright's version in Shrek, but my favourite cover is by Jeff Buckley.

The original song is almost spoken in it's delivery, and it quite long. Buckley added more emotion to it, I felt, and Wainwright's version dropped the pauses and lingers to make the song more smooth and melodic. K.D. Land also sang a rendition at the 2010 Olympics closing ceremonies with some of the words changed and I think gave yet another feel to it.

This is easily in the running for my favourite song ever. It's one of those pieces that I can put on and I don't dance or anything, but just stop whatever I'm doing and just listen.
