My top songs are with Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, Beatles, The Doors, Deep Purple etc. but that'd be boring for others to read. So here's an alternative list (or some songs I like, in no particular order)

Coil - Slur
Tori Amos - Spark
Cocteau Twins - Musette and Drums
Death in June - He's Disabled
Skinny Puppy - Killing Game
David Bowie - Some Are
The Cockney Rebel & Steve Harley - Ritz
Placebo - Twenty Years
Garbage - Thirteen (a cover but a good one)
PJ Harvey - The Dancer

Spoiler for ___:

I'm a fan of all three of these as well. I'm not super into Foo Fighters, but "Everlong" is a great song, and man, I haven't heard "Strength" in forever. Good stuff!

actually your whole list rocks....and i'm with you man....the second i hear "I Live For Drugs" everything stops and the volume goes to 11
I'm the white rabbit.

Totally agree about the Ministry golden era songs, and I'd probably add "The Missing", "You Know What You Are", "Thieves", "Jesus Built My Hotrod" and "Hero" to that list.

Devo - Gates Of Steel
really i could choose just about any DEVO song.....but i absolutely love the fun and slightly aggressive feel to this song and the fun lyrics
Neurosis - Lost
first off it starts with a line from The Sheltering Sky by Paul Bowles...which makes this song epic from the start....2nd i think is a perfect example of the power of Neurosis
Swans - Love Will Save You
hard to choose a Swans song....this one has a certain (and unfortunate) place in my heart
Current 93 - The Final Church...
it was difficult for me to choose a Current 93 song....but this is one of the first i heard and has always had a profound effect on me....ironically it was not until years later that i came to the realization that David did not write a single lyric of this song but in fact this song is a copy and paste DaDa style poem using the 4th chapter from the infamous surrealist novel Les Chants de Maldoror
Texas Is The Reason - If It's here when we get back it's ours
the lyrics are mean and absolutely to the point....and the breakdown a little over half way through the song is fucking perfect....i seriously cannot get enough of this song
Depeche Mode - Everything Counts (Live)
i don't think i could ever make a list like this and not include my beloved Depeche Mode....the live version of this make my eyes water it is just so damn good
Unsane - Alleged
whenever someone asks me what Unsane sounds...like this is my answer
Jesus Lizard - Puss
i know i should like Scratch acid more....and in many ways i do....but when i first heard this song it changed my life
Coil - Blood From The Air
i would say that most fans of Coil would agree that horse Rotovator is their opus....and this song has always been my favorite from it
Ministry - Breathe (live)
as stated above....this song never gets old....but i will say that the live version from the video 'In Case You Didn't Feel Like Showing Up' with it's 3 minute intro kills the studio version

Spoiler for the best ten songs you will ever hear :):

Chuck Berry mention Louis Jordan as one his major influences and I looked into him and been a fan ever since, I love Beans and Cornbread - a song about a food fight.

My Weakness great tune by Ukelele Ike. Cliff Edwards is mentioned in the Guiness Book of World records as the most heard voice in the world, although it is most likely most people don't know who he is by name.
