1. Elton John's "Your Song"
"I hope you don't mind that I put down into words how wonderful life is now you're in the world...."

2. Just about anything by Dylan...
Edited on Thu Jun-14-07 09:37 AM by SteppingRazor
but especially "Absolutely Sweet Marie," "Mr. Tambourine Man," "If You See Her, Say Hello," "Don't Think Twice, It's All Right," "Just Like a Woman" and "Visions of Johanna."

On edit: Oh, and "It's Alright Ma, I'm Only Bleeding." And "It Ain't Me Babe."

Ok, I'm done now.

3. Ben Folds's Missing the War
He's written a ton of great songs but this one just strikes me as one of his most genius moments

7. Yes, after growing up in WV,
I was tempted to say Country Roads, but I am just mesmerized by RMH. Ah, John...what a sad loss, but what a beautiful legacy....
