Isn't this a loaded question... So I'll split it into two portions. First, I'll take a look at my favorite song in the musical episode, "Once More with Feeling," and then I'll look at my favorite popular song used in an episode.
My favorite song from "Once More with Feeling" is "Something to Sing About." The song has multiple levels to it as a description of the show itself and the episode as a whole. The artistry of the song fantastically enhances Buffy's uncertainty about life. Plus it's just fun to sing along to.
My favorite popular song used in an episode is Michelle Branch's "Goodbye to You" at the end of "Tabula Rasa." It brings a great deal of emotion to an already heartbreaking scene as the relationships of the Scooby Gang gang fall apart. And, again, it's a song that I like in the first place.
Of course, the music of the Buffyverse is fantastic in the first place. And it deserves much more detailed analysis. I'm thinking of writing a book...
