Yeah its a cheesy topic, but SO WHAT! Let's not just list songs either folks. Let's talk about it.
What about the song moves you?
What did u think when u first heard the cut?
Does it still move you? Why?

I'll start!

Well this is hard, but I'd have to choose "The Way" from "PEace Beyon Passion". When sister stated:
Maybe Judas was a better man
and Mary made a virgin just to save face
I am so ashamed on bended kness
Prayin' to my pretty white Jesus"

Firs time I hear that, it sent chills down my spine. I mean everyone loves to bash christianity, but damn those lines were potent and touched on the history of using Christainity to club folks to death. To this day this song is one of my favorites. Of course I reserve the right to change my mind and pick another song at a later date..
