If you right-click the links, you can listen to the tracks in a different page. I don't have any of his official soundtrack songs yet. I'll probably add more songs later, as this was most of the list I got over the past two years, only searching down through the albums beginning with A to E, on my iTunes, and using any other songs that just happened to come up, that I thought would fit.

Unyielding Rain
Beethoven's 8th Symphony, 1st movement Thor infiltrates the SHIELD compound, trying to retrieve Mjolnir. He ends up fighting several people who will later be his friends.
Underwater (by Danny Elfman) Mjolnir!
Utopia (by Within Temptation, featuring Chris Jones) Thor cannot lift Mjolnir. His wails drive the rains, and SHIELD agents capture him. Loki tells Thor that Frigga has exiled him in the wake of Odin's death because of Thor.
Mairi Bhan Og (by Ceoltoiri) Between the loss of self he's experienced with Mjolnir, the death of his father, and his exile, Thor has a mental breakdown.
In the Tub (by Danny Elfman) Trying to rebuild a life for himself, he finds that his friends have come to bring him home. Thor wanders off to a bar, but does not allow himself to drink until he can come to some conclusion first.
Dream a Dream (by Doc Powell) Selvig follows him, and they end up having a heart-to-heart. He tells Thor that sometimes it's the strongest thing, to admit that you don't have the answers. To ask for help. Selvig then tells him that for Jane's own good, Thor must leave. Selvig has always been like a father to her, and he doesn't think she needs Thor messing up her life like this. Still reeling from his breakdown, Thor agrees. They proceed to get incredibly drunk.
Dancing in the Moonlight (by Órla Fallon) Even in the midst of his breakdown, Thor had remembered to retrieve Jane's research book for her, and now tries to show her the shape of Yggdrasil. In the light of the fire and the moon, Thor truly cherishes this life he has with her. Realizing how much he'll miss her, he watches the stars until he falls asleep.
What Have We Wrought?
Nita's Rambles - McHugh's - The Legacy (by Ceoltoiri) From the beginning to 1:17, Thor spends one last morning with Jane and his friends, having breakfast before heading away. From 1:17 to the end, Thor's friends from Asgard show up, and their reunion is very excitable and happy.
I Fall in Love Too Easily [Live, "Friday Miles" version] (by Miles Davis) But then they tell him that Odin is still alive. That Loki has been named Allfather as Regent, and that it appears that Loki has gone mad.
Sandra's Theme (by Danny Elfman) Having learned a little about what's going on, the friendly reunion is cut short at 1:35, when the Destroyer shows up. And Thor walks up to speak to Loki through it, regardless of his fear.
Pictures (by Danny Elfman) Thor no longer just assumes. In fact, he's learned to intuit so well, that it's now all he has to go on. There is no hint whatsoever for why Loki has chosen to do this, but Thor remembers his brother and tries to bridge that gap. He wants to understand, and apologizes for not paying attention before.
Lindblum (by Nobou Uematsu) After being smacked, falling unconscious, regaining his powers and fighting the Destroyer, Thor calls Heimdall and asks to be brought back home. But Heimdall doesn't answer right away. Because he's frozen in an ice block. Soon afterward, he breaks out and brings Thor back. Into the middle of an invasion.
Leaving Spectre (by Danny Elfman) Thor makes his way back to the palace. It's surreal to him, because he thought he'd never be allowed back home, but now it has become a place of danger. Because of his little brother? What happened?
The Sword of Doubt (by Nobou Uematsu) The brothers challenge each other at Odin's bedside. Loki uses Gungnir to shoot Thor through the wall. Thor flies to land outside while Loki heads to the Bifrost.
The Other Side of Antarctica (by Vangelis) The Observatory battle.
Fade (by Staind) The climax of the movie, for Thor, is just continually "What?", followed by "What???", followed by "WHAT????", but the feeling that he got from Loki in this scene was just that Loki had always been hiding this secret side of himself and that Thor had never really prodded or asked him anything, to discover it. So the song really worked for what Thor feels that Loki is saying to him, here.
The Change (by Evanescence) Thor reflected others' emotions, even before he really learned to intuit. And in this scene, we get to see a lot of that. Loki's tears make him cry. Loki's anger brings out his own. Even when Thor isn't sure what Loki's crying about. So this was really the part of the Observatory battle that Thor understood, and could hear loud and clear from Loki. He could tell that every time he tried to reach out, Loki felt further pushed away, even without knowing why. And as with Odin's anger and disgust becoming Thor's anger and disgust at himself, at the beginning, Thor reflected each one of Loki's emotions, tried to live it for himself to understand it. He didn't know yet, why Loki felt like he'd never been a part of their family. But he could tell that was the feeling. He didn't know why Loki was threatening all of this.
Sandra's Farewell (by Danny Elfman) Loki's last moment with Thor, is spent giving Thor a look of apology before letting go. Though Loki comes back later, and might not have tried to die, Thor thought he had. For over a year. Thor had always known Loki, for every moment of their lives. They'd spent most of their lives side by side, and Thor now blamed himself for Loki's death. And that look of apology really stuck with him. You can see the way that the pain spreads from Loki's face to Thor's in the scene, and Thor knows what he's going to do, long seconds before Odin does. With as often as the Odinsons tended to twin, I think Thor thought the look of apology was more about Thor losing his little brother, than about any of Loki's deeds. Certainly Loki later made it appear that way, even more.
Forgiven (by Within Temptation) Thor later learns about Loki's adoption, and about what his parents had done to his little brother in hiding the truth. The older brother is heartbroken and still doesn't really trust Odin, even when they're both in mourning. With his mother mourning the death of her youngest, and his friends not seeming to feel the same pain, a lot of Thor's grief and guilt were repressed and went unspoken. As extroverted as Thor is, unspoken means undealt with. For nearly a year. By the time he'd found his Midgardian friends again, he'd already known Loki was alive for about a month.
Erase This (by Evanescence) In the second movie, Thor speaks about the end of the first one, as though the entire mess was one huge painful incident. One incident, involving his brother's death, exile, unworthiness and Thor's guilt in response to Loki and to having restarted the war with Jotunheim. Something had to be the release of all that pain. He couldn't just fight anymore, because he was trying really hard to be intuitive. He decided to help. He threw everything into helping other people, into being a superhero, and almost lost himself in the process for several months. He didn't feel like himself; his family was different, his life was different and he couldn't be the saint he was trying so hard to be. Self acceptance had to come later, from being able to voice and accept his pain, with his friends.
Epilogue
A Day Without Rain (by ENYA) After a breakdown, people rebuild themselves. Thor is extroverted, so his ways to find himself are in expressing himself to others. He had no way of doing that here, which compounded the intense grief, guilt and unworthiness that he already felt. He didn't know who he was, and couldn't express himself to learn in the expressing, so I think this highly implies that for a while he must have fallen into a deep depression. Until he could express himself to his friends. I also had a lot of songs of intense mourning set during this time period, but a lot of them were triggery, so I didn't post them.
Theme from Antarctica (by Vangelis) There's a scene near the very end of the film, when Thor walks up to Heimdall, standing at the edge of the shattered Bifrost, to ask how Jane is doing. And we get a glimpse into Jane trying to understand portals and trying to help Thor. The music sounded a lot like this track, so I just put this here. I like the twinkly sounds, like weaving together all these moments when they thought of each other, into a single song.
I Know You're Out There Somewhere (by The Moody Blues) Thor doesn't give up the hope of getting to see Jane again. If anything, it becomes a part of what keeps him going. He remembers how much they cared about each other, even in such a short time.
I'm a Loser (by The Beatles) Well I didn't set it to a romance, and Thor certainly thinks he can sometimes act the part of not being upset, but the rest of the song fits here. He's not really sure if he's crying for Loki or about him, really. It was a huge thing and really made Thor doubt himself quite often.
Journey to Tara (by Matt Ender) It always seemed to me that this song dealt with a journey out of depression, more than anything else. It starts out so sad and small, then becomes so twinkly and strong and awed. Basically I had it set to Thor becoming closer with his friends on Asgard, spending more time with them and confiding in them. It gives him the grounding he's needed, to move on.
Stand By Me (by Ben E. King) Thor's connection with his Asgardian friends deepens; he needs them now more than ever.
Following a hidden trail
Life of Antarctica (by Vangelis) From Thor's lines in the movie, Thor learned Loki wasn't dead a short time ago, and has seen enough to assume that his brother's search for the Tesseract is of questionable motives, and has apparently brought Loki to Earth. I'm assuming that in the two or three months before the movie, Thor, Odin, Frigga and Heimdall found out that Loki was alive, and started trying to track down where he was, finding out hints about Thanos here and there, but never enough to learn what was going on.
There was a song here, track 6 of "Early Music Sampler" that I couldn't find on youtube. The CD is of ancient music from before the Classical Era. It sounded cheerful/challenging/calculating and sounded a lot like the actual soundtrack, when Loki puts on a huge and frightening show in Stuttgart. I assume SHIELD showed Thor what had happened later, so while he didn't see it at the time, Thor would have known the time period when it had happened.
Who are you, anymore?
Somewhere (duet acoustic version) (by Within Temptation, Featuring Anneke Van Giersbergen) Thor hops onto the Avengers Jet, and takes Loki to a hillside where they talk, presumably intending to bring him back to Asgard afterwards. Their bond is still deep, and the conversation clearly pulls at both their hearts, but nothing is changed as Loki himself will voice nothing.
Return to Spectre (by Danny Elfman) Loki does not act like the little brother Thor knew. Occasionally something will be the same, but his words are different, his tactics are different. He's like an entirely different man and Thor has no idea how this happened in so short a time.
A Message (by Coldplay) Thor continues to be confused about why Loki never believes him, when he reaches out to his little brother.
Memory of Antarctica (by Vangelis) After Loki kills Coulson and drops Thor out of the sky, the elder brother heartbrokenly contemplates this entire mess amidst a field of sunflowers.
Showtime (by Jon Brion) Loki's behavior continues to baffle and disorient Thor. The Avengers, who have only known Loki through a few instances in half a week, can predict his brother better than he can.

Beethoven's 2nd, 1st movement
The Growing Montage (by Danny Elfman)
I couldn't find anything that went with the stabbing scene, when both brothers end up crying. I also couldn't find anything to set to the scene where Hulk smashes Loki, or the one where the brothers head home.
This Huge Divide
Path of Thorns (Terms of Endearment) (by Sarah McLachlan) Unable to get through to Loki in the dungeons, Thor keeps finding himself having to walk away.
[This is a link to someone else's playlist. Please skip to the last song on the list, song 29] Good Night (by The Beatles) Even while not at his brother's side, Thor hopes Loki is doing all right. He may not want to go back to the dungeons, but he won't ever really give up the hope that Loki would one day find himself and be kinder.
Sick (by Evanescence) It's when the situation in the dungeons really starts to resemble an abusive situation, that Thor finally gives up entirely. He may have hopes that Loki will stop trying to drive him away, but he won't keep returning if Loki's responses are always so intentionally awful.
Highland Road (by Matt Ender) Thor skips Loki's trial and instead fights on Vanaheim. He can't stand to face what his little brother has done and become. Of the many battles he could fight, protecting Hogun is the most important to him.
Only Time (by ENYA) Thor reflects that he really couldn't have seen any of this coming. Frigga's death, Loki's changes, Jane's introduction and then her absence... Thor has a lot of "what is my life?" moments in the next few days after Frigga's death. Everything has changed so quickly.
There were more songs of mourning here, that also got really intense, so I removed them from the listing due to being triggery. Frigga dies in front of Thor, and after her death, he feels terrible for having upset her by breaking away from Loki. To make matters worse, Odin denies Loki the funeral, and Thor fears to be banished again, amidst the funeral, if he goes to see Loki in person. So he's sort of forced to betray Frigga and Loki again by not telling him in person. I headcanon that he had a recording made of the funeral, to one day give to Loki.
Interplanetary Road Trip
Instrumental Piece II, from "Ancient Music for a Modern Age" (by Sequentia) The group needs Loki to guide them through the paths of Yggdrasil, so they can get to Svartalfheim before the convergence happens. If they can make it in time, Thor thinks he can stop Malekith.
Everybody's Got To Learn Sometime (by Beck) At first, Thor thinks that Loki's putting on a show about caring. But Thor heard Loki claim that Frigga wasn't his mother, before she died, and Thor himself can guess how much those last words must have destroyed Loki's confidence. The older brother doesn't bring it up the entire trip, and by the end of it he starts to wonder if it isn't that Loki is lying now, but that he was trying to run them away, before. That he gave up the lie after it wreaked so much emotional harm. Thor's learned not to trust Loki, but he wants an answer to this puzzle.
Let's Work Together (by Canned Heat)
End Titles to Big Fish (by Danny Elfman) The brothers talk a little more, while Jane is sleeping.
Rebuilding (by Danny Elfman) More songs set to them talking.
Beethoven's 2nd, movement 2 They talked a lot in this film, but I still feel like they only covered about 1/5th of the things they needed to talk about.
I removed more songs here that were triggery. I'd set them to the discussion about Jane, and how Loki got protective that she was going to die before Thor did, and break his heart. I also removed most songs from Loki's second "death scene".
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry..."
Collecting Things (by Jon Brion) Loki appears to die while saving Thor. He keeps apologizing over and over, before what Thor believes is his death, and Thor blames himself for not showing Loki enough love, and for getting into such danger in the battle that Loki felt the need to run in, instead.
Death and Rebirth (by Masashi Hamauzu) Thor fights Malekith amidst a series of portals. I removed the songs I set to Thor's attempted suicide, depression/mourning and becoming further distanced from "Odin".

Only Time (by ENYA) Thor reflects that he really couldn't have seen any of this coming. Frigga's death, Loki's changes, Jane's introduction and then her absence... Thor has a lot of "what is my life?" moments in the next few days after Frigga's death. Everything has changed so quickly.
There were more songs of mourning here, that also got really intense, so I removed them from the listing due to being triggery. Frigga dies in front of Thor, and after her death, he feels terrible for having upset her by breaking away from Loki. To make matters worse, Odin denies Loki the funeral, and Thor fears to be banished again, amidst the funeral, if he goes to see Loki in person. So he's sort of forced to betray Frigga and Loki again by not telling him in person. I headcanon that he had a recording made of the funeral, to one day give to Loki.
Interplanetary Road Trip
Instrumental Piece II, from "Ancient Music for a Modern Age" (by Sequentia) The group needs Loki to guide them through the paths of Yggdrasil, so they can get to Svartalfheim before the convergence happens. If they can make it in time, Thor thinks he can stop Malekith.
Everybody's Got To Learn Sometime (by Beck) At first, Thor thinks that Loki's putting on a show about caring. But Thor heard Loki claim that Frigga wasn't his mother, before she died, and Thor himself can guess how much those last words must have destroyed Loki's confidence. The older brother doesn't bring it up the entire trip, and by the end of it he starts to wonder if it isn't that Loki is lying now, but that he was trying to run them away, before. That he gave up the lie after it wreaked so much emotional harm. Thor's learned not to trust Loki, but he wants an answer to this puzzle.
Let's Work Together (by Canned Heat)
End Titles to Big Fish (by Danny Elfman) The brothers talk a little more, while Jane is sleeping.
Rebuilding (by Danny Elfman) More songs set to them talking.
Beethoven's 2nd, movement 2 They talked a lot in this film, but I still feel like they only covered about 1/5th of the things they needed to talk about.
I removed more songs here that were triggery. I'd set them to the discussion about Jane, and how Loki got protective that she was going to die before Thor did, and break his heart. I also removed most songs from Loki's second "death scene".
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry..."
Collecting Things (by Jon Brion) Loki appears to die while saving Thor. He keeps apologizing over and over, before what Thor believes is his death, and Thor blames himself for not showing Loki enough love, and for getting into such danger in the battle that Loki felt the need to run in, instead.
Death and Rebirth (by Masashi Hamauzu) Thor fights Malekith amidst a series of portals. I removed the songs I set to Thor's attempted suicide, depression/mourning and becoming further distanced from "Odin".
