All right, 2 things to get out of my chest, Led Zeppelin did not write Babe I'm Gonna Leave You, Anne Bredon did and it was first covered by Joan Baez (although some people hate that version). Neither did Jeff Buckley write Hallelujah, although his cover is excellent, Leonard Cohen wrote it.
As for my choices:
Tears In Heaven, The Circus Has Left Town - Clapton (come on, songs about his dead 5 years old son? you can't beat that kind of sadness)
If It Be Your Will - Leonard Cohen (although some of the previously mentionned choices are just as adequate)
And a couple of Tom Waits, for sure, Road To Peace and Ruby's Arms are the first that come to my mind.
