Swan Lake music is overused, but I never get tired of it, may be because there have been some really great skates to it.
Berezhnaya-Sikharulidze: 1998 season SP (I liked their skate at the European the best of all, but I also enjoyed the one at Goodwill games)

Oksana Baiul: 1994 SP to Black Swan- one of my most favorite SPs by a lady

Rudy Galindo: 1996 LP, especially the one skated at the US nationals was unforgettable. While watching it, I shed tears of joy for Rudy.

Sasha Cohen: 2004 (?): I liked the Tarasova version the best, at Marshalls. The later version she used at USN and worlds was diluted, and less enjoyable, but still beautiful to watch.

Alexei Urmanov skated to it, as his 1995 LP. He also skated an exhibition to it. I loved his speed and the perfection of his jumps.

Maria Butyrskaya and Shizuka Arakawa had somewhat different versions of Swan Lake. Also Ann Patrice McDonough skated to Swan Lake in the same year as Sasha.
