Not even top 2 Rick and Morty. 

Chaos Chaos - Do You Feel It

 

Mazzy Star - Look On Down From The Bridge

Sorry to correct you - just sort of telling my step-father I'm never speaking to him again an hour ago and what will probably be tomorrow.

Thanks.

The song/montage at the end of every season of the Wire, all 5 of them.

And how they used a different version of Way Down in the Hole by Tom Waits to open the show every season. And they waited until season 2 to use Waits’ version.

The songs selected by T Bone Burnett in the first season of True Detective were nothing short of brilliant. As it turned out that may have been the best part of the show. Because that ending SUCKED.  :)

Several from Scrubs immediately jumped to mind and have already been posted. 

This one is also outstanding from the final scene of Generation Kill. Perfect song and perfect last scene for the series, with Trombley the only one left at the end and picking up his Saw and walking out.

I've thought the use of music in Peaky Blinders was about the best I've seen.

 

Agreed.  The way Red Right Hand was played differently to match the tone for and played over the opening scene was great.  

They have used the original version by Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds as well as versions from Artic Monkeys, PJ Harvey and Laura Marling, and Iggy Pop and Jarvis Cocker.

I really want to see them use this version:
