We actually use a 90s clock radio that has a "radio alarm" feature! So we get whatever the radio station we last used is playing. It's nice.

“Then put your little hand in mine, there ain’t no hill or mountain we can’t climb…babe…”
I've done something similar, but I use home assistant to gradually increase the volume of the radio over the course of 10 minutes.
I have created a perfect loop of “Picture this / I’m a bag of dicks / put me your lips” from the intro of Run The Jewels & DJ Shadow’s “Nobody Speak”
“Just Us” by Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross
I wake up to iPhone‘s disgusting alarm, but I shave listening to Slayer - Raining Blood
The most grating annoying song that I can find at the time. This one is my current alarm tone

I wake up angry and am scrambling to switch it off as quickly as possible but even when I do I cant go back to sleep again out of sheer annoyance of having that be the first thing I had to hear waking up.
been tryin'
to MEET you
mmm-mm-mm-mm
not currently but in the past I used jethro tulls solstice bells and kelpie.
I used to use the beginning of clutch's psychic warfare. The first track is some low murdering, and then it comes in hard with X-ray visions. Always woke me right up.
I also used slothrust's "like a child hiding behind your tombstone" for a while. That also starts a little quiet and then ramps up. Never hated the song, somehow. https://slothrust.bandcamp.com/track/like-a-child-hiding-behind-your-tombstone
Now I just have one of the default alarms and I kind of hate it.
My alarm for the longest time was Saku by DIR EN GREY
The office intro
Underground 80s radio
HT: theme from Trigun
If it can be called a song...
Discord Rare mix
Same as my ringtone.
Makes sure I wake up (lol)
Shared Loneliness by Mindthings
I have the Spongebob outro track as my alarm.
my alarm is home-assistant with music-assistant and it just plays the collection of my fave'd songs on full blast
Yes, I use Teh Internets from the Super Meat Boy soundtrack.
I have a rotation of instrumental ambient playlists like Medieval Ambient and Dungeon Ambient. We're so used to them, it's strange not to have them when we're on vacation.
Yes, I use Lord of the Rings: The Shire Theme (Concerning Hobbits) Epic Version by Samuel Kim.
