Roy Orbison-I'm quite sure,even the performance from Isabella
Rosellini was quite breath-taking in it.

I will not, cannot argue with you on that one. I think you could argue that the Ode to Joy, at least, is a song.
I like the 9th in A Clockwork Orange.

Any song in any Wes Anderson movie, but especially the four Stones songs, "2000 Man" in Bottle Rocket, "I am Waiting" in Rushmore, and "She Smiled Sweetly"/"Ruby Tuesday" in Royal Tenenbaums.

Let's make it three for Trainspotting. "Lust For Life" by Iggy Pop crowns that opening.
"Hotel California" - In SPANISH - to introduce the Jesus in The Big Lebowski
Bjork's "Venus As A Boy" in Leon

I'll mention Wonderful World (Don't Know Much) by Sam Cooke as used in Witness. My favorite romantic scene in any movie.

Some of my fav's:
"The Sage" by Chico Hamilton Quintet in Boogie Nights (Great musical piece set to the daily lives of the characters)
"My Way" by Sid Vicious in Goodfellas (A nice way to wrap things up)
"This Woman's work" by Maxwell in Love and Basketball (Love-making at its best
"Baba O'Riley" by The Who in Summer of Sam (Similar to "The Sage" but obviously more energetic)
"Holiday Road" by Lindsay Buckingham in National Lampoon's Vacation (Always brings a smile to my face)
"If you leave me now" by Chicago in Three Kings (It's so out of place that it HAS to be brilliant
"Fight the Power" by Public Enemy in Do the Right Thing
(No explanation needed

I'm blanking on some new ones, but the first one that came to my mind when isaw this thread was the Pixies "Where is My Mind" from Fight Club.
How about...
Cat Stevens' "the Wind" in Almost Famous,
Tito & the Tarantulas' "After Dark" in From Dusk Til Dawn
Lick the Tins' version of "Can't Stop Falling in Love" from Some Kind of Wonderful,
Eliot Smith's "Miss Misery" in Good Will Hunting
