Classical or otherwise that you play off by heart.
& what is your instrument?
Mine is piano
My best- On the Beach - Chris Rea
Swan Lake Waltz- Tschaikowsky
Etude- Kabalevsky
Living on a Prayer- Bon Jovi
Babooshka- Kate Bush
Don`t Leave-(sung by) Blackstreet
Pride- U2
Power of Your Love- (Gospel)
Let`s Dance- David Bowie
Most of my other stuff I still need sheets for, esp the classical.

I forgot about my faves- the 2 Bond tunes

Hmm...
Now if you ask if I play these well, that's a different question -- but
Beethoven Sonata in f minor opus 2 #1
Beethoven Sonata in E opus 14 #1
Beethoven Sonata in G opus 14 #2
Beethoven Sonata in C opus 53 (Waldstein) 1st mvt only
Beethoven Sonata in Ab opus 110 (first 2 movements -- haven't yet tackled that fugue)
Brahms Intermezzo Opus 117 #2
Brahms Intermezzo in A opus 118 #2
Brahms Ballade in g minor opus 118 #2
Chopin Ballade in g minor -- that danged coda is murder
Chopin Ballade in f minor -- I struggle with this
and I have just finished memorizing the Scherzo in c# minor, but it's not up to speed yet
and I know a small selection of the waltzes and mazurkas
Debussy Reflets
Haydn Variation in f minor
Mozart Rondo in a minor
I think that's about it. It is limited in scope -- I would like to have more 20th century stuff -- like Prokofiev, Bartok, Poulenc
Ravel
My hands are too small for Rachmaninoff, dammit
Oh I forgot --the Gershwin Preludes

i play the piano and violin... i can play a lot of stuff by memory on both instruments, i like to play by ear and remember tunes easily so i can remember a lot of stuff i played long ago. i just suck at sight reading. lol
not counting the easy stuff that everyone knows, such as heart and soul (omg that thing drives me NUTZ!) on the piano i can play various mozart/beethoven/clementi sonatinas/sonatas and bach inventions, songs without words etc, sry don't know specific ones, and clocks (by coldplay).
on the violin (omg i'm so proud of myself, i've only had private lessons for 6 months) the famous a minor vivaldi concerto and a bunch of other suzuki pieces.
unlike you i have an awful time remembering almost anything not classical.
