Has anyone ever composed a list of songs which have appeared on X-files?

Of course, Johnny Mathis's "Wonderful" appears in "Home"
and three Cher songs appear in "Post Modern Prometheus"

But has any dedicated X-Phile out there ever compiled a list of every song
played in the X-Files?

If so, where could I find such a list?
thanks

"I'm Only Happy When It Rains" by Garbage was in Terms of Endearment... I'm not
sure it's worth sitting through that horrible creation to hear the song, so buy
Garbage's debut CD.

All right, this is just a weak attempt:

Ascension - "Red Right Hand"
Tempus Fugit/Max - "Unmarked Helicopters"
Home - "Wonderful, Wonderful"
Postmodern Prometheus - three Cher songs
Terms of Endearment - "I'm Only Happy When It Rains"
Detour - "Joy to the World" (or at least GA's version of it)
D.P.O. - several of 'em
Rain King - those reunion songs

can't think of anything else right now...

Fantastic list, I must say. You may want to add to this one that one
of the singers on this spiritual is quite possibly the guest star
Jesse L. Martin. This was never confirmed, but many of us familiar
with his vocal skills believe it was him on the lead vocal.

In the end credits for that episode it's listed as follows:
"Come And Go With Me To That Land" Arranged and Produced by: Maggie Wheeler

(I wonder if this is the same Maggie Wheeler who played Det. Lazard in "Born
Again"? I sorta remember hearing a rumour that she and DD dated at one time)

Thanks!
That's what I thought - but unless I knew for sure - I didn't want to
add it to the list.
I'm still working on the list - I believe there is another song in Never
Again that I want to confirm the title and the artist - and I want to
identify the song in 3 as well...

I am!

Oh geez-
I can't believe I made a stupid mistake like that!
I had double checked the episode - I was working on this list two days
ago - and my stupid Netscape crashed - taking with it the original list
- and two hours worth of work!
So when I reworked the List - I used original notes! Hey! Lookit the
time of the post - I was pretty tired too!
<BG>
Thanks for catching that!
I'll be updating the list anyway - maybe Coz can use it as part of his
ATXF FAQs...

I am!

There are a couple of identifiable songs in Syzygy, too. One of them is by
Live, but I don't know the name.
