+1 for Stoners offerings, plus some culture please, Chopin Ballade No1 and Rachmaninoff symphony No2
And +1 for Danny Boy but the Christy Moore version from the Lament album...

Jonny cash- hurt. Almost brings me to tears when I hear it. But that may be because both my parents loved to listen to him.
One from my youth was the instrumental guitar music ( can't think what it was called) from top gun. Probably a bit cheesy for most bit I loved it.

Jonny cash- hurt. +1
that is all the more moving because it was so close to the end of his life.

On the classical theme, I always stop what Im doing when I hear struck-up "The Great Gate of Kiev" from Pictures at an Exhibition by Modest Mussorgsky as Mrs S and I chose it for our wedding.
www.youtube.com/watch?v=2rVci4h8TkMAlso the 4th & 5th movements from "Symphonie Fantastique" by Berlioz and just about anything by Faure.

Stoner - I'd recommend starting with Lantern and Stick Music.
Here's The Owl though, just to put you off:

Edit: there should be a video on here: http://www.npr.org/2010/12/09/131703238/the-5-best-genre-defying-albums-of-2010
Of last song featuring the national vocalist too which is probably more your thing?
