Hmmm, I get asked this question every two years or so, and every time
I have even more fun answering it.  Here's my 1994 list:

1.  Tori Amos - Me and a Gun (Also good:  The Specials - The Boiler)
2.  Coil - Tainted Love
3.  Anything by Joy Division
4.  ABC - Poison Arrow
5.  Tracy Chapman - Outside the Wall  (I think O.J. Simpson played this
    at his wedding).
6.  Laibach - Sympathy for the Devil
7.  Anything by The Smiths
8.  J.S. Bach - Toccada in D Minor (Always a good choice for any occaison)
9.  Depeche Mode - Master & Servant
10. X-Ray Spex - Oh Bondage, Up Yours
