Track: Glockinspiel Song - Dog is Dead
Say what you will about the show's third generation, but this inexplicable live performance by Dog is Dead at the conclusion of Series 5 really nailed the tone of the show, and birthed a thousand Tumblr gifs. Like the below: — E4 / Via YouTube.com

When: Season 6, Episode 10
Track: Don't Go - Rae Morris
If you disregard the 7th series (which a lot of people would like to), then these were the final moments of the series. And the producers made sure to pick the most melancholic song possible to accompany it - which is sort of fitting when you consider the fact that Skins was never the happiest of shows - and the fact that Series Six was really fucking bleak. — E4 / Via YouTube.com

Track: Hometown Glory - Adele
A music choice so fitting to the character of Cassie and everything she came to embody over the two years viewers came to know her, you'd almost think Adele penned this song purely with the scene it plays over in mind. Breathtaking stuff. — E4 / Via YouTube.com

Track: Samskeyti - Sigur Ros
Look, Sigur Ros is emotional enough at the best of times - but this moment - coming midway through the second series, after countless episodes of tension between Sid & Michelle? Outstanding.
The music swells. She runs to him. They fall to the sand. And then later the sun comes up and everything is wonderful. — E4 / Via YouTube.com

Track: Wild World, by the Skins cast
Perhaps one of the most iconic moments of the entire series, this montage closes out the show's debut season and it's principal storylines. Tony gets hit by a fucking bus, there's a lot of pretty cinematography, and this song got stuck in our heads for a very long time. — E4 / Via YouTube.com
