So, from what it looks like, every spell in 5e is potentially a bard spell; thanks Magical Secrets! anyway, here's a task easier said than done: I'd like to compile a list of songs that symbolize/embody all of the spells currently available. any genre, any artist, any whatever.

And...go!

Can we have an example what you mean?

Hehe, I really like this idea. It might wear itself out at a table but it's a fun thought experiment.

Fireball is pretty clearly Through the Fire and the Flames.

Will grab the PHB and go through it (and my iTunes library) later.

Well, went through my play list (I listen to a lot of Hans Zimmer ;) lol )

Anyway, these ones came up .. not sure exactly which are still 5e spells, but I recall they were spells in the past, so figured they might fit.

Feather Fall: Why do we Fall? by Hans Zimmer (The Dark Knight Rises)

Confusion: Discombobulate by Hans Zimmer (Sherlock Holmes)

Animate Dead: Rise by Hans Zimmer (The Dark Knight Rises)

True Sight: I See Everything by Hans Zimmer (Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows)

I just love how it starts slow, but just keeps speeding up tempo .. :) Seems like O.I.D. to me :)

Through the Fire and the Flames is more like a song for Resurrection.

Fireball/DBF are Great balls of Fire.

Anything along the lines of Mind Spider or Mind Rape should be Mind Heist.

All paladin spells: The Dark Side (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JITRuhHp4oU). Except for Find Steed. find steed is best matched with The Skyrim Theme (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AVy7YPNP_zI).

Although i wish there was a spell that fit World of Warcraft's Seasons of War

A couple possibilities:

Spare the Dying- Stayin' Alive, Bee Gees
Charm Person- I put a spell on you, Jay Hawkins
Animate Dead- Wake me up, Evanescence
Finger of Death- Love me Dead, Ludo

I might edit more in as they come to me.

All healing spells, including True Resurrection: Healing Incantation (Disney's "Tangled")

I'll post the link once I've got my computer available.

Firebolt could be My Songs Know What You Did in the Dark by Fallout Boy. Mainly cause it's a cantrip, so you could cast it everytime you say "fiiiiiyaaaaah!" (on every third "up" works too"
