It Started Out as a Feeling...
Songs currently on my list of amazing:
"The Call" --Regina Spektor
"People Get Ready" --Eva Cassidy
"Hallelujah" --many versions, Wainwright, Buckley, that four-part stunner with Kurt Nilsen
"Danny Boy" --just not the Elvis version
"Turn My Head" --Live
"1234" --Feist (okay, maybe I'm mostly stunned by the video)
"Violet Hill" --Coldplay
"Take It Easy" --Eagles
"Man of La Mancha" --Linda Eder (that parakeet note is ridiculous)
"Short Skirt Long Jacket" --Cake. It's just classic
"My Life Be Like" --Gritz. Nothing like some Christian rap
"Grace Kelly"/ "Love Today" --Mika
"More Than a Memory" --Garth Brooks
"Georgia On My Mind" --Ella Fitzgerald
"Montagues and Capulets" --Prokofiev
"Somewhere Over the Rainbow" --favorite versions: Eva Cassidy, Aselin Debison (she sings Kamakawiwo'ole's version)
"Can't Hurry Love" --Dixie Chicks (it brings me joy)
"Supermassive Black Hole" --Muse. A little creepy, but also a little fabulous
"Slide" --GooGoo Dolls. My love for this song runs long and deep
"Lipgloss" --Lil' Mama. I know, I know--but the girl can actually rap fast
"Acoustic #3" --Goo Goo Dolls
"Question" --Old 97's
"He Thinks He'll Keep Her" --Mary Chapin Carpenter
"Everything" --Michael Bublé
"Way I Am" --Ingrid Michaelson

"Someone Else's Story" --from Chess
"Someone You Used to Know" --KokoKaina (?)
"Blue in Green" --Miles Davis
"Any Day Now" --Missy Higgins
"Your Love is My Love" --Whitney Houston. Yep, that's right
"Sorry" --Paul Jacobsen
"Long Last Love" --Frank Sinatra
"You Belong to Me" --Lifehouse version, Dean Martin is good too
"Believe" --Josh Groban
"America" --Josh Groban version (but many thanks to Simon and Garfunkel)
"What's It to You" --Clay Walker. I miss this kind of country
"Nothin' Bout Love Makes Sense" --LeAnn Rimes
"Sunrise" --Norah Jones
Lots of songs from Disney's "Hercules"
"O Mio Babbino Caro" --from the soundtrack to A Room with a View
"Bring Him Home" --from Les Mis
"The Water is Wide "--Charlotte Church (but I think there are better versions out there)
"Rhapsody in Blue" --Gershwin
"Claire de Lune" --Debussy
"Out of My League" --Stephen Speaks (so tender!)
"Love Like This" --Natasha Bedingfield. Happy song
"Home to You" --Josh Kelley (not sure if this really garners a spot here, but...)
"So Close" --Jon McLaughlin. Sad, but lovely
"I Feel it All" --Feist

No Jack Johnson, Mae, Mason Jennings, Justin Nozuka, or Cake. I'm slightly disappointed. I'll have to check out some of those songs though.
There is too Cake. Obviously you weren't reading carefully. My experience with Mae is limited and you barely know Justin Nozuka yourself!
Well, I've got one for your list. Smelly Cat. :P
And yes, I just started listening to Nozuka, but he's good. You don't have to be an expert to enjoy something
