Its idealistic view of politics aside, The West Wing was a terrific show -- beautifully acted and wonderfully written. One of my favorite things about the show -- and this was something that was consistently good throughout its seven-year run -- was the way in which Soorkin, Walden, etc. incorporated both popular and classic music into the scripts. Here are just a few of my faves.
"The Jackal" by Ronny Jordan
"Brothers in Arms" by Dire Straits
"Hallelulah" by Jeff Buckley
"Angel" by Massive Attack
"Ave Maria" by Franz Schubert
"I Don't Like Mondays" by Tori Amos
"Little Drummer Boy" by ?
"He is an Englishman" by Gilbert & Sullivan
