Need FLIST help!

Ok, so even though I'm actually a bit out of commission on the icon front, I think about making them all the time.
The next project is going to be 10 icons for each of my favorite characters, set to a song that I associate with them. So, for example, I'd make a set of 10 Giles icons all with words from the Sting song "Every Breath You Take" since Tony's mentioned he thinks of that as the quintessential Watcher song.
Here's the problem: I don't have songs associated with many characters. Do you? I'd love love love to hear your suggestions/thoughts!
The characters I'm thinking of:
Giles (I'd love to see if you have any alternative suggestions)
Buffy
Wes
Spike
Tara
Willow
Xander
Angel
Faith
Cordelia
Anya
Phew. No promises as to when I'll be able to do this little project, but when I do you'll know about it! Thanks in advance for any songs you suggest!

Date: 2005-06-16 10:59 pm (UTC)Hallelujah (http://s25.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=0W63UQMR78ZR91NU6NG2A98G5K) always makes me think of Giles, but it could do equally well for Wesley, I think. (This is the Jeff Buckley cover.)
And Great Big Sea's Bad As I Am (http://s25.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=118DRQHQTIAUT03UDGIJ30IUVP) feels like a Spike song to me.
I'll see if I can come up with any more.

Thanks for the suggestions! *hugs*

Date: 2005-06-18 05:38 am (UTC)As for inspiration, maybe you can use the Buffy/Giles soundtrack (http://www.livejournal.com/community/allthejellies/112117.html) I put together or the Giles soundtrack (http://www.livejournal.com/community/theicing/3487.html)
Let me know if you like me to upload the songs to YSI for you. I hope this helps some.

Date: 2005-06-20 08:17 pm (UTC)Why isn't there more time for iconing? (sorry, that was really more rhetorical than anything).
I really appreciate the suggestions and the links! And as soon as I get the time to actually follow up on the project I'll let you know if I can't find the songs... your offer of uploading is fabulous!
Thanks!
