Mal & Inara: Someday by Nickelback (especially for after she says she's leaving the ship)
For Wash/Serenity - It's my Time to Fly by The Urge
I'll think on the others...I don't listen to the radio too much, unfortunately.

New around here, so I thought I'd start by dropping my two cents in the musical barrel...
For some reason, when working on my Firefly Fanfic, I listen to alot of Jeff Buckley. The moodiness of his tunes helps put me into that headspace...
And hey, if I were ever a passenger on Serenity, I'd play Buckley to them all at the dinner table. Tho... Jayne would hate it.

My contribution is a song called "Damaged" by Plummett. I first saw it in an Anime Music Video that was a profile of Rei Ayanami from Evangelion. I think the song would go great with River. Not just the lyrics, (which I'll get to in a sec) but the mood of the song and the singer. The singer's voice is very soft, like River's, and the song is very soft and moody and kind of ethereal.
So many of the lyrics go with River: "Dreaming comes so easily, 'cos it's all that I've known." "I'm damaged, how would I know?" "I'm scared, and I'm alone, I'm shamed and I need for you to know."
That part about "I'm shamed," could be when she is caught with Jayne's gun.
"Healing comes so painfully, and it chills to the bone. Will anyone get close to me? I'm damaged, as I'm sure you know."
I'll see what I can come up with for other characters. 
Every well-bred petty crook knows that the small, concealable weapons always go to the far left of the place setting.

I'll second that, I think Buckley's cover of "Hallelujah" goes well with Mal walking the ship at night in slow motion...
As for Jayne, I can't seem to get the image of him sitting in his bunk, cleaning his weapons, with _Plastic Fang_ by Jon Spencer Blues Explosion playing at top volume....

Here's a pretty good variety of songs for the crew.
How about something from the near past? The Bangles, "If She Knew What She Wants". I initially put this with Kaylee, but it fits so well with Inara.
The Beatles, "I Want to Tell You". For Simon maybe. Or "She Said She Said" for River. I don't know. I just like the songs. You can pick the right character.
John Lee Hooker, "I'm Bad Like Jesse James" would make a cool little vid.
"Flyin' Shoes" or "More Pretty Girls Than One" for some Lyle.
Pat Benatar's "We Belong" could be good for Mal/Inara or ABBA's "One of Us".
I know it's kind of obvious, but Pink Floyd's "Brain Damage" could fit nicely to River.
It might be fun to put Kaylee and Simon to "Touch-a,Touch-a, Touch-a Me" from Rocky Horror.
I wanted something fun for Wash and Zoe, so try "Night Fever" by The BeeGees.
For a smarmy family vid you could do something like "At Your Side" by The Corrs.
Now on to ZZ Top, "Rough Boy", "Gun Love", "Planet of Woman" for the boys, for Zoe. and for the girls.
I look forward to the vid. You guys found some great songs---I need to do some iTunes shopping.
btw, every time I hear "Love the One You're With" I think of Succatash. Does that seem right to you?

How about "Dirty Deeds" by AC/DC for Jayne.
"Touch me..Feel me..." from Tommy for River.
"Space Oddity" by Bowie for Jubal.
"Everybody plays the fool" for Simon.
"Sexual Healing" for Inara

Good song too.

It's sickening how comforting the privacy of the mind can be.
