Courtesy of Christopher Hitchcock's suggestion (in comments here): Plato's Cave: Out of the Shadows, by Sarah McLachlan Zeno: The Space Between, by Dave Matthews Berkeley: What's the Matter Here? by 10,000 Maniacs Personal Identity: Who are you? by the Who McTaggart: No Time, by the Guess Who Mind-body problem: Spirits in the Material World, by the Police Newton's bucket argument: Twist and Shout, by the Beatles Mach's critique of Newton: The Speed of Sound, by Coldplay
With some further suggestions by Paul Raymont: Cosmological Argument: 'Nothing from nothing' by Billy Preston; Autonomy: 'My way' by Frank Sinatra (or the cover by Sid Vicious); Collective Agency: 'Something in the air' by Thunderclap Newman; Theories of Punishment: 'Folsom prison blues' by Johnny Cash; Emergence: 'NaCL' by Kate and Anna McGarrigle; Is the mind spatial? 'Where is my mind?' by the Pixies; Justice: 'Know your rights' by the Clash; The nature of facts: 'Crosseyed & Painless' by the Talking Heads;
