Wot's...Uh The Deal is also a beautiful one, from Obscured By Clouds. One of the best Pink Floyd melodies. Has some of David Gilmour's nicest singing on it.

Pfft, like Mozart is better than Alice in Chains?!

Now I'm going to have to go CD shopping tomorrow to cheer myself up...

 

[HeartlandGirl]

She is Suffering- Manic Street Preachers (I guess not conventionally beautiful, but conventional beauty is so boring )

I like that you would pick a song about beauty as the Manics' most beautiful. "Door to the River" is another beautiful one by them.

 

[Zoomerang96]

Ave Maria

nice pick.

 

[Zoomerang96]

U2 - Vertigo

 

[AtomicBono]

As for suggesting anything myself, I'd say Bulletproof [wish I was] by Radiohead.

I don't see people talk about that song much, but it's one of my favourites though perhaps the most beautiful Radiohead song is Motion Picture Soundtrack...something about the chord change during "I think you're crazy, maybe"... the whole thing is surreal, like coming out of some eternal dream.

Jesus Etc. (Wilco) brings tears to my eyes whenever I listen to it. With or Without You produces a similar effect. The song just hits every time.

Hendrix's Little Wing is also gorgeous.

 

[yertle-the-turtle]

'Nessun Dorma'

'Fade Into You'

'I Live To Fall Asleep'

etc.

 

[Eliv8]

Vangelis - 'Love Theme' (From Bladerunner)
