Scheherazade.
I meant that there is also one by Ravel The tale of the Young Prince and the Young Princess is one of my favourites too It's too hard for me to pick a single favourite song/piece though.
Under The Bridge - Red Hot Chili Peppers
U2 - VertigoRed hot chili peppers - All songs except old ones.
By the way, Dani California and Tell me baby are good songs.Well Otherside is good one too.

I'm quite fond of music of Albéniz, Barber, Bartók, Berlioz, Britten, Bruch, Chopin, Debussy, Dvořák, Falla, Gershwin, Glazunov Gounod, Grieg, Hindemith, Holst, Khachaturian, Kreisler, Liszt, Mendelssohn, Moscheles, Puccini, Ravel, Prokofiev, Rachmaninov, Schubert, Schumann, Scriabin, Shostakovich, Sibelius, Sinding Smetana, Stravinsky, Tchaikovsky, The Mighty Handful (Balakirev, Cui, Mussorgsky, Rimsky-Korsakov, and Borodin), Verdi, Vieuxtemps, Wagner (despite his Nazism), Webern, and Wieniawski.
Those two songs i really really dislike especially tell me baby......how bout some californicatiuon?
Ah, Dvořák. you might like Smetana as well; they were both part of a group of four Bohemian/Slavic composers (name missing). Dvořák is very easy to listen to, and quite relaxing. The quartet my friends and I founded are playing his Op. 96 "American" String Quartet in F major. The two New World symphonies and his Slavonic Dances are among my favorites. I'm really fond of Romanticism and Impressionism rather than Baroque or Classical music. It's funny listening to a Shostakovich symphony while playing Soldat.
