A sort of twisted version of "God Was Never On Your Side" by Motorhead would work for Sisters:
Spoiler:
If the stars fall down on me,
And Sol refused to shine,
Then may the shackles be undone,
AND all the old words cease to rhyme
If the sky turned into stone,
It would matter not at all,
For there is only heaven in the sky,
Hell does not know of its downfall!
Let the voice of faithful shine,
Let the heresy vanish for all time,
Chaos' face hidden, ever unseen,
You can't ask them what it all means,
Emperor is ever on our side,
He was never on your side,
Right or Wrong, let Him decide
Emperor was ever on our side.
See ten thousand ministries
See the holy righteous soldiers
They come to heal, faith stronger than steel
The abused given succor, of body and mind
Emperor is wise, he is not still.
When these false prophets, call him friend,
He is not silent, nor is he blind
We are not abandoned in the end!
Let the sword of the faithful shine,
Let us be free for prayer and shrine
Chaos' face is hidden, turned away,
They will never have a word to say,
Empeorr was never on your side,
Empeorr is ever on our side,
Right or wrong, HE decides
Emperor is ever on our side!
The people in the past who convinced themselves to do unspeakable things were no less human than you or I. They made their decisions; the only thing that prevents history from repeating itself is making different ones.

Grey Knights - Team America World Police Theme tune, with terrorists replaced with "Daemons" and America replaced with "Imperium"
"Imperium! F**k yeah!"
Race: Imperial guard.
General Tactica: Massive Footslogging Gun line army, Or maybe a Tank company.
Song & Artist: Dance of the Knights, Sergei Prokofiev.
How that song and artist mesh with your army: Just listen to the first 2 minutes of it and tell me its not... Heres a link to save you some time. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z_hOR50u7ek
Race: Dark Angels
General Tactica: Overwhelming tactial squad defensive fire.
Song & Artist: Nedgang, Finntroll.
How that song and artist mesh with your army: I think that the dark brutal nature of this song matchs the Dark Angels mind set and their over all presence spot on.

I generally fight the battle as normal then around turn 4-5 when the enemy is almost entirely on my side of the board, I deepstrike three units of 3 XV9s behind the enemy and tear them apart with 72 shots per turn of Phased Ion Gun badassery.
I personally think that theme songs gotta be something that reminds you of that army. But theme songs that dont really have the atmosphere of the army aint that good. Songs that would go well because of the "fluff" or an ironic title that would fit for the army (like in the first page, "blood angels - raining blood by slayer, i know it was joke tho ).
Like for necrons i could imagine some electric sounding creepy stuff, not just a song that is about "metal skeletons" or something.

Was that a jab?
I chose Red War because, well, my Necrons arered ....and the guitar sounds like the sound effects you get in some horror films that are used to illustrate or amplify the obvious feeling of horror a character feels when they see the monster/killer/zombie horde cresting the horizon or rounding the corner at the end of a corridor and advancing slowly and purposely on their prey.
I'll choose one that fits the 'atmosphere' of the Necrons better:
Thorns - Shifting Channels - (The song really kicks in at 0.33)

Painting with white is like taking three steps backward for every two forward.
Race : Sisters of Battle - Order of Choir Carmine
General Tactica : Mechanized Horde army
Song & Artist : Soprano version of Soviet March (RA3 - Uprising OST) - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vm5QxCHbgLA
How that song and artist mesh with your army :
Well. My army is painted in dark red and gold. Sisters names on my bases are all eastern-european, and it is a rather cheerful music for those who go to battle for the Emperor of Mankind !

yeah i think thats a perfect example of what i meant. The song sounds like your race. It has the atmosphere. And the red war is cool too, i wasnt to pointing to that hehe
Since I use Salamanders and have a nasty habit of using Drop Pods, what ELSE would I have for a theme?
*Note: for those of you unaware, Salamanders have a unique appearance because of their home world's sun, which turns their skin pitch black. This joke should make sense now*
