Well, Kosh can read Sheridan's thoughts, so maybe Gregorian Chants are 
exactly what would get to Sheridan and he knew that.  And if Kosh had sent 
you in there some Stanley Clarke would play for you.  For me it would be 
"The Gates of Delirium" by Yes (well, that's one example, but lets not turn 
this into a Desert Island Disk discussion :) )
