I've seen this done for other movies so thought I'd post start one here.

This is the list of songs in order that they're played
I know a couple are missing and if someone could fill in the blanks it would be great.

Everybody knows - Leonard Cohen, Opens the movie and Harry's show every night

Love Comes in Spurts - Richard Hell, plays while Harry is pretending to masterbate

Girls L.G.B.N.A.F. - Ice-T, plays during shop class right before Mr. Murdock takes it

Everybody Knows by Leonard Cohen again opens the show

Weinerschnitzel - Descendents, The "Do you want whale sperm with that?" song

Scenario - The Beastie Boys, plays after Harry talks about the "Eat me, Beat me" lady (Nora)

Freedom Of Speech - Above The Law, plays during school the next day, when the kid is asking about cock rings

Tale O' The Twister - Changall Guevara, the "lips like Tricia Nixon" song the plays when Harry says Hi to Paige

If it be your will - Leonard Cohen, opens Harry's show the night after he found out about Malcomb's suicide

Kick out the Jams - Bad Brains with Henry Rollins, plays after Harry tells kids to do something crazy instead of suicide

Wave of Mutilation (U.K. Surf) - The Pixies, ends Harry's show and plays during his walk to school

I've got a secret miniature camera - Peter Murphy, plays after the PTA meeting about Harry while the kids meet up at the school

Why Can't I Fall in Love - Ivan Neville, plays while Harry and Nora mess around topless

Heretic - Soundgarden, Plays when they hang and burn the dummy at the school

Everybody Knows - Concrete Blonde, plays when Harry goes on the air from his Jeep

Dad, I'm In Jail - Was Not Was, plays while Harry drives around the subdivision

Fast Lane - Urban Dance Squad, plays while Harry is running from the cops, and the kids are on the limo roof

Stand! - Liquid Jesus, Plays during the credits

Here's the songs credited at the end of the movie that I missed... if you know what scenes they're in please post it.

Get Together - Chet Powers

Me & The Devil Blues - Cowboy Junkies

Titanium Expose - Sonic Youth

This is your life and it's ending one minute at a time - Tyler Durden

Titanium Expose is playing on the boombox in the schoolyard during the scene in which the kids are told that their radio privileges are being revoked. I'm not sure where the Cowboy Junkies track places, but I don't think that "Get Together" is actually in the film at all. Slater sarcastically sings a few lines of it ("Come on people now/Smile on your brother/Everybody get together/Try and love one another right now") while he's discussing the ultimate failure of the 60's, but I think that's it.

The Cowboy Junkies song is played at the end of one of Harry's early broadcasts...I believe it's when he's signing off after Malcolm hangs up on him. And yes the Sonic Youth song in heard in the alcove...I believe it comes just before the Tale O'the Twister song ramps up when Harry approaches Paige. No idea what the other song is.
