Probably stupid to do this to a classic, but here are my choices.
1. Anything by Carrie Underwood.
2. "Ticket to Ride" and "Yesterday" by the Beatles.
3. "I Can't Help Myself (Sugar Pie, Honey Bunch)" by the Four Tops.
4. "Ain't No Mountain High Enough" by Diana Ross and the Supremes.
5. "Let's Go" and "Since I Held You" by the Cars.
How about you?

The instrumental bits of "The Enemy" by Mumford and Sons, which was used in the newest film rendition's trailer, sums up the mood of this book in my opinion. Especially the bit at the end of the trailer.
"Like You" by Evanescence is rather fitting in my opinion.

Rolling Stones "I Can't Get No Satisfaction"...Nobody in that book got any satisfaction, ever!
"It's All Coming Back to Me Now," the Meat Loaf and Marion Raven version. The song was actually inspired by the book, and it best captures the spirit of Cathy and Heathcliff's obsessive and slightly demented love, in my opinion.
I don't think there's a song that reminds me of Wuthering heights - but the soundtrack composed by "Ryuichi Sakamoto" for the movie (Juliette Binoche's version) perfectly depicts the story and the mood - to the extent that I think if a story could be told by music then Sakamoto's soundtrack would certainly tell the story of Wuthering heights
Death Cab For Cutie-Cath
It's a beautiful song and inspired by the book

"Possession"-Sarah McClachlan
"Every Breath You Take" - The Police "
Run For Your Life" The Beatles and
"No Myth" - Michael Penn because he refers to Heathcliff in black jeans.

Stairway to Heaven - Dolly Parton. And I don't know why, but it does.
"Clarity" - Zedd Featuring Foxes

I know this is a weird one, but read the lyrics while imagining Heathcliff singing the Maroon 5 part and Catherine singing the Christina Aguilera part:

"Loving you keeps me alive" from the musical of Dracula. The lyrics apply perfectly to the book!

The 2009 TV soundtrack is the best in my opinion by Ruth Barrett.
Actually make that Sevus and Lily. The track is a better fit.
Digital Daggers - "Fear the Fever"
its goes something like:
It wants to kill you
it wants to tear you apart
... this special love that I got
it wants to consume you

I listened to this song running barefoot in a white dress on the moors in Haworth, so it definitely fits :P

I know it's been mentioned already, but it's worth repeating: "Wuthering Heights" by Kate Bush, but specifically her 1985 "New Vocal" as it was back then. I think it's better and more haunting than her original vocal because her voice had matured.
Draconian’s song “Bloodflower”, I believe, captures the intensity of Heathcliff and Catherine’s love in both lyrics and execution, as well as the enduring heartache it imposed upon their lives. Also, the way the male vocalist, Anders, with his anguished growls, and the female vocalist, Lisa, communicate through the song is powerful - and I’m inclined to feel like it’s another of Heathcliff and Cathy’s impassioned professions of love and regret.
It also beautifully evokes the concept of them being each other’s sole reason and meaning for existence; how a life asunder on earth and in death is unbearable:
“You are the star, you are the moon
You are the soil where shadows bloom
Casting a light which brings me peace
Where the caverns of death will freeze.”
“Oh, how I feel you in every single detail
As you lurk inside my troubled dreams
There is no hope as long we walk this Earth
But you should know my universe screams
It screams for you
I cry for you!”
Finally this, to me, portrays the grief of never uniting, yet the indomitable feelings they have for one another:
“The flower never grew
But I love you just the same
Even though like a bird you flew
I will love you just the same”

Mortal Remains by Blackbriar, the singer is a fan of this books so she was inspired by it at the time to write this song.

I personally always associate books with whatever I'm listening to while I read them, which, more often than not, produces some weird combos. For Wuthering Heights it was Roxette, specifically Listen to your Heart, It Must Have Been Love, and Spending My Time.
To be honest, it wasn't the worst possible combination: Listen to your Heart and Heathcliff somehow, and unexpectedly, do go together!

I play the piano and whenever i play liebestraum I always have thought about wuthering heights
Clannad's 'I Will Find You' - very atmospheric, and I think the lyrics suit the novel rather well!
And though it's a given, Mumford and Sons' 'The Enemy'.

Keep Bleeding Love - Leona Lewis (this song is totally Heathcliff, for srs!)
I actually only decided to read the book because of Kate Bush's wonderful song.
