Fuck, I can't pick five - I need a subcategory ... so I'll make it songs that I can listen to on repeat for extended periods of time, because that is love.

Neil Young - "The Needle and the Damage Done"
Magnetic Fields - "Epitaph for My Heart"
George Harrison - "Something"
Tori Amos - "Cooling" (or her live version of "i i e e e" - can't decide)
Travis - "The Fear"

This is rough, but here's what's on my mind now:

Shhh/Peaceful - Miles Davis
Lush Life - John Coltrane and Johnny Hartman
Siete Ocho - Andrew Hill
Bring it on Home to Me - Sam Cooke
Unfaithful Servant - The Band
Straight Life - Freddie Hubbard

Shit. Too many already.

Damn, I try to pick my top 5 and my brain just short circuits...I'd never have thought that picking your 5 favorite songs would be so difficult. I come up with 5 different songs every time I try to do it.

I try looking at it in terms of absolutes...if I had to live the rest of my life on an Island and could only take 5 songs with me...what songs would I pick, and I still can't make up my mind...the favorites are always changing depending on my mood.

This time around I came up with:
AM Radio
2112
Stir it up
Reflections of my Life
Bolero

[NeoConIV]

1. Red Rain - Peter Gabriel
2. Island of Souls - Sting
3. In a Big County (12" version) - Big Country
4. Rime of the Ancient Mariner - Iron Maiden
5. Ave Maria - Any version whatsoever

[Mark in Austin]

Shape of my Hart - Sting
Abraham, Martin, and John - Ian Moore
The Other Side - Aerosmith
Leningrad - Billy Joel
Voodoo Chile - Stevie Ray Vaughan

shit. too much great stuff to choose from.
