Note: Thanks to anonymous guest who suggested this song for the Targaryens. Great song!
I don't know if it was also you who suggested Tommy the Cat by Primus. I appreciate the comment, but unfortunately I don't know this song. Thanks!

Coldplay: Viva la Vida – House Targaryen
I used to rule the world,
Flames would rise when I gave the word.
Now in the morning I sleep alone,
Sweep the streets I used to own.
I used to roll the dice,
Feel the fear in my enemy's eyes.
Listen as the crowd would sing,
"Now the Mad king is dead! Long live the king!"
One minute I held the key,
Next the walls were closed on me.
And I discovered that my castles stand,
Upon pillars of salt and pillars of sand.
I hear Sept of Baelor bells are ringing,
Fiery Dragons choirs are singing.
Be my mirror, my sword and shield,
My missionaries in a foreign field.
For some reason I can't explain,
Once you go there was never,
Never an honest word.
And that was when I ruled the world.
It was the wicked and wild wind,
Blew down the doors to let me in.
Shattered windows and the sound of drums,
People couldn't believe what I'd become.
Revolutionaries wait
For my head on a silver spike.
Just a puppet on a lonely string,
Oh, who would ever want to be king?
...
Not all the Dragons are gone … some still roam these war-ravaged lands. The question is, will they rise up again?
Lannister, Baratheon, Stark, Tyrell … they're all just spokes on a wheel. I'm not going to stop the wheel. I'm going to break the wheel.
...
...
Well, folks, this is all I have for now.
What do you think of this collection? Do you think the songs are appropriate for the characters? I'm open to comments and suggenstions. And if you think of another song that could apply to a character, please let me know. Thanks!
