Based on songs that I stop and listen to whenever I hear them:
1. Something Wonderful - The King and I 2. You're Nothing Without Me (City of Angels) or School Song (Matilda) 3. At the Ballet - Chorus Line (actually I'd just like to list the montage - even though the OBCR has this as a separate individual song) 4. The Impossible Dream - Man of La Mancha 5. Wheels of a Dream - Ragtime

You reminded me... At The Ballet! Such a beautiful piece, the whole montage, and the spoken words over the music.

This is a near-impossible question - my answer would probably change daily/depending on my mood. Without too much thought though (and limiting myself to only picking one song from any show):
1. Don't Rain on My Parade (Funny Girl) - I struggled to choose which song I would have from this show, but for sheer power this just edges it over People.
2. Memphis Lives in Me (Memphis) - possibly my favourite ending to a show ever.
3. Anthem (Chess) - never fails to make me emotional!
4. At the Ballet (A Chorus Line) - less powerhouse, but if done well I find this song really poignant.
5. I'm Here (The Color Purple) - sung as Cynthia does it on Broadway, there is hardly anything better in musical theatre.
Edit: Argh I ran out of room to add Stars from Les Mis!
