Music, Emmys and Breaking Bad quiz prizes ROCK!

Hi all!
Sorry I've not been around. I started a new job, on nights, and am having a bit of trouble sorting out night from day. I'm in the groove now, here and eager to pass the time until season two with all my fellow Baddies.
* What do you think of the Baddies moniker? I'm not too sure myself but Breakers sounds like waves and after the hurricane season heartbreak for the folks on the gulf coast I'm not big on waves at the moment.

Anyway, names aside I need your help with a project.
As a fan fic writer I like to write to music that reminds me of the characters I'm trying to capture. That in mind I need to compile a CD of songs that evoke emotions and visions of all these glorious Breaking Bad characters. While I'd love to have a soundtrack from the show too this is something totally different from that. More inspiration and character driven stuff.

Mulling it over myself awhile and getting nowhere I'm turning to you guys for help.
What song(s) make you think of Walt, Jesse, Tuco, all the rest and all that has and will possibly happen in this story? While Walt has a handful of years on me I am still rather old and therefore am more interested in older stuff rather than - don't get me wrong ... newer stuff is great too - really new music.

What comes to mind when you think of Breaking Bad and all its characters.
To give you an idea I currently have:
"Beautiful Loser" By: Bob Seger for Walt
"Jesse's Girl" By: Rick Springfield in name only for Jesse.

What would you suggest?
Think it over a bit, listen to the radio for anything that grabs your ear and let me know what you think should be added to the list. Anything you think of and want to offer up will be greatly appreciated.
A little bit of music for everyone and all situations would great.

In closing...
Lynne Willingham took home a Creative Arts Emmy last weekend!

Two more Emmys possible this Sunday night!
Best Actor and Best Direction in a Drama series still lie ahead.
Stop on over here and offer your well wishes and support to Bryan and Vince as the prepare to slip on the monkey suit and hit the red carpet.
**Remember while its highly unlikely these people will ever stop by and see your wishes, they might and IF THEY EVER DID you know you'd want to have taken a moment to offer up praise and support for a job so very well done!**
