After reading Phil's list, I figured I should put mine out there. Of course, I had to pick myself off the floor and wait for the laughing cramps to subside. I know the list won't be as ecclectic as Nathan's or John's, but I think it's pretty good. Of course, I know it's only supposed to be 5 songs, but I just couldn't help myself. I have marked my ultimate top 5 in bold.
- Zoo Station - U2 (Achtung Baby)
- Welcome to the Jungle - Guns N' Roses (Appetite for Destruction)
- Thunder Road - Bruce Sprinsteen (Born to Run) This album also has one of my favorite last songs of all time in Jungleland.
- Don't You (Forget About Me) - Simple Minds (The Breakfast Club Soundtrack)
- One Headlight - The Wallflowers (Bringing Down the Horse)
- Speak to Me/Breathe - Pink Floyd (Dark Side of the Moon)
- Beds are Burning - Midnight Oil (Diesel and Dust)
- Possession - Sarah McLachlan (Fumbling Towards Ecstacy)
- I Don't Care Anymore - Phil Collins (Hello, I Must Be Going!)
- Hotel California - The Eagles (Hotel California)
- Vertigo - U2 (How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb)
- Closer to Fine - Indigo Girls (Indigo Girls)
- Where the Streets Have No Name - U2 (The Joshua Tree)
- Angry - Matchbox Twenty (Mad Season)
- Never Let Me Down Again - Depeche Mode (Music for the Masses)

I am sure there are more out there that I missed from my collection, especially the ones on vinyl that I don't have converted to MP3.
