How about we pick one song for each book? Something to do on this brutal cold day. For Carrie I would go with "I Don't Like Mondays" from the Boomtown Rats.
Pick a theme song

Roky Erickson's "Night of the Vampire"...for 'Salem's Lot.
That's exactly the song I thought of before clicking on the topic link!
For Carrie... People Are Strange, by The Doors.
..."Fire"-The Crazy World of Arthur Brown"....
The Devil Inside (INXS) - for The Dark Half
I didn't notice this thread was for Carrie.... I'm just so trigger happy!
These are all perfect! A whole album's worth!
Just Like A Woman
WRITTEN BY: BOB DYLAN
Nobody feels any pain
Tonight as I stand inside the rain
Ev’rybody knows
That Baby’s got new clothes
But lately I see her ribbons and her bows
Have fallen from her curls
She takes just like a woman, yes, she does
She makes love just like a woman, yes, she does
And she aches just like a woman
But she breaks just like a little girl
Queen Mary, she’s my friend
Yes, I believe I’ll go see her again
Nobody has to guess
That Baby can’t be blessed
Till she sees finally that she’s like all the rest
With her fog, her amphetamine and her pearls
She takes just like a woman, yes, she does
She makes love just like a woman, yes, she does
And she aches just like a woman
But she breaks just like a little girl
It was raining from the first
And I was dying there of thirst
So I came in here
And your long-time curse hurts
But what’s worse
Is this pain in here
I can’t stay in here
Ain’t it clear that—
I just can’t fit
Yes, I believe it’s time for us to quit
When we meet again
Introduced as friends
Please don’t let on that you knew me when
I was hungry and it was your world
Ah, you fake just like a woman, yes, you do
You make love just like a woman, yes, you do
Then you ache just like a woman
But you break just like a little girl

How about 'Burning Up' by Madonna? Just for the title anyway.....
I agree very much with I Don't Like Mondays and Just Like A Woman. Great choices! 
For me, The Shining Path by Tristania...
"Sacrifice me for my sins
For my beliefs
Spit at me
Die … with me
When I’m gone
Death will come to you
Death will come …
The flames went high
to lick the skin on her chin
The words she said
For those words she would die
The crowd circles around her
Praising their merciful god
Her screams got weaker
“Heathen, heathen”
The mass was shouting
The children that once were loving
Now their small hands
were full of rocks
The found her bleeding
The dark night came creeping
Was she one of the devil’s own kind?
Beyond belief
Beyond the pain
And grief
I lay low
And crawl deep
Choosing the narrow path
Fear your thoughts and let the father
judge them
Walk the shining path
and guide the weakling along
The crowd circles around her
Praising their merciful god
Their screams grew higher
“Heathen, heathen”
The mass was shouting
Hunt down the profane
And put them to the torch
Burn me on the fire
Call me liar
Shout at me
Cry for me
When I’m gone
Death will come to me
Death will come …
Burn me on the fire …"

Might be a little late to the party, but I think Me and the Moon by Something Corporate is an amazingly song that fits well with Carrie...
Its a good year for a murder
She's prayin' to Jesus, she's pulling the trigger
There's no tears, cause He's not here
She washes her hands, and she fixes the dinner
But soon they'll be coming to rush her away
No ones so sure if her crime had a reason
Reasons like seasons
They constantly change
And the seasons of last year
Like reasons have floated away
Away with this spilt milk
Away with this dirty dish water, away
Seventeen years, and all that he gave was a daughter
"It's me and the moon," she says
I got no trouble with that
But I am a butterfly, you wouldn't let me die
"It's me and the moon," she says
And it's over, but just started
The blood stained the carpet
Her heart like a crystal
She's lucid and departed
A life left behind, she can find in her mind gone away
Away with these nightmares
Away with suburbia
Shake down away
You marry a role and
You give up your soul til you break down
"It's me and the moon," she says
"I got no trouble with that, but I am a butterfly, you wouldn't let me die"
"It's me and the moon," she says
But what do you say we go for a ride?
What do you say we get high?
But I'm so tired of days that feel like the night
"It's me and the moon," she says
And I got no trouble with that, but I am a butterfly, you wouldn't let me die
I am a butterfly, I am a butterfly, I am a butterfly
Its a good year for a murder
She's prayin' to Jesus, she's pulling the trigger
There's no tears, cause He's not here
She washes her hands, and she fixes the dinner
But soon they'll be coming to rush her away
No ones so sure if her crime had a reason

They constantly change
And the seasons of last year
