I really, really like these ones (and I normally don't like slow songs, so these are probably the only ones):

America - Razorlight
It Ends Tonight - The All-American Rejects
Mona Lisa (When the World Comes Down) - The All-American Rejects
Writing To Reach You - Travis
Half the World Away - Oasis
Sam's Town [Abbey Road Version] - The Killers
Chasing Cars - Snow Patrol
Just Say Yes - Nicole Scherzinger
The Drugs Don't Work - The Verve
Good Riddance (Time of Your Life) - Green Day

These are my 3 absolute favourites. All beautiful songs. And Northern Downpour is an absolute masterpiece:
