There is a song on the new album "Marbles" by Marillion, It's called "Ocean Cloud". The song is written from the perspective of a rather famous sailor whose name escapes me at the moment, and "Ocean Cloud" seems to be the name of his ship/boat. A lot of it reminds me of Mal and his love for Serenity. You can hear a clip at the website below under 'music'/'discography'/ 'Marbles' / 'Ocean Cloud' or just follow the first link which i just made.
The whole track is over 15 minutes.

Welcome, Kaze! Great question! 
One song that makes me think of Firefly a *lot* is "Barrett's Privateers" by the late Canadian folksinger, Stan Rogers.
It is an accapella piece that has incredible energy. Sadly, the crew of Barrett's ship doesn't fare so well in their adventures, which I heartily hope is *NOT* the fate of our BDHs.
Two verses and the chorus on MP3 plus Lyrics:

Heh...for me, it's other parts:
Alan: "We will rock you" (heh)
Kaylee: "Amazing Grace" ('cuz she sings it in another series, though the girl who sings it in Heart of Gold was good too...:) )
"Bye now. Have good sex!"

Jayne: definately Bad to the Bone! I'm baffled as to why nobody else has mentioned that song! 
Inara: maybe a Fleetwood Mac, featuring Stevie Nicks song. Gold Dust Woman, or Gypsy, perhaps.
Shoot, now I'll be awake all night thinking of music! Thank you very much!

Mal: Rebel Yell! Or maybe the Doors "Break on Through."
An even better song for Inara: Masquerade by the Carpenters. Beautiful song!
Wash: The Bird, by the Trashmen. (In the Full Metal Jacket movie)

My mind is spinning!
Simon: Alone Again, Naturally by...I think Gilbert Sullivan? Or, Fortress Around Your Heart, by Sting. (could also apply to Mal)
River: Helter Skelter
Book: Some Like it Hot, by...Power Station? Who could forget Robert Palmer in the preacher robe?
Kaylee: Another Carpenter song, titled Close to You.

Okay, one last song, and I promise to stop!
Zoe: Metallica's Enter Sandman. Envision her kicking arse with that intro in the background!
I'm thinking that Joss needs to hire me as sound editor, eh??

We applied the cortical electrodes but were unable to get a neural reaction from either patient.
"The Boys Are Back in Town" was by Thin Lizzy.
My contribution is Ivy's "Worry About You" (the haunting theme song of Kingdom Hospital), as a kinda Inara-Mal unspoken dialogue type of thing (...You never know, just what you mean, to me...).

"BADGER: You think you're better than other people.
MAL: Just the ones I'm better than." -Shindig.

"MAL: Gotta say, doctor, your talent for alienatin' folk is near miraculous.
SIMON: Yes, I'm very proud." -Safe.

for Mal and Inara:
Nothing Else Matters by Metallica.
it's a very good song for expressing devotion if you listen to the lyrics. i think that showing Mal and Inara's feelings for eachother with this song would practically write itself
