I should say something for each song but I took a lot of time adding and subtracting from the list that I kinda ran out of steam.

Warm Love was recorded during a live during a performance on Musikladen in 1974 - and you know what Homer says about 1974. I don't know if this version of Warm Love counts since it's not an album cut, but I'm a recorded live performance enthuiast. And that is what I tried to do with this list is to include my favorite artist and genres. For instances, I like songs in languages other than English, so I include this version of SOS is from Agnetha's Elva kvinnor i ett hus album.

I agree with Trollheart:

I always thought the lyrical work in 'across the universe' is some of the best from any Beatles song.

Nice work, Neapolitan. Although a huge Genesis fan, I purposely left out any of their, or any prog band's material, as I reasoned this should be the ten songs that resonate down through my life, that I couldn't live without, that say something about me or move me in a way other songs don't, and that, should I have to choose only ten songs to have on a ipod on a desert island (with unlimited charge, of course!) I would have on that player. Though I love prog, and AOR (and metal) I could find only the one song (the one from Ten) that fit that description.

Even so, it was hard, and I know that there are many, many songs that didn't make the cut that could/should have, but that was in the end what I narrowed it down to.

Nice to see one of Agnetha's songs on your list: are her other albums good? I have only heard "I stand alone"...

This is just what I've thrown together, if I took the time to listen to each and every song in my library and pondered for hours on which ones I liked better than others, this will likely look entirely different. And I did write a paragraph on why I chose each but my laptop crapped up so I'll let the music speak for itself.

10. Korn - Open Up
Spoiler for Korn - Open Up:


9. The Cure - Love Song

8. Martin Grech - Open Heart Zoo

It's a real shame that I had to leave Tool and Coil off the list though, they have released so much ground-breaking meterial in their time...

I think it's one of their best work. You can have an OBE just listening to it.

Thanks. It's hard to sum up everything you like about music into just 10 songs. I wracked my brains on this trying to come up with the best list possible, but after narrowing the criteria to favotite bands and genres it became slightly easier. In the end it made sense because it is a small cross section to everything I listen to, and every song I heard I thought it was the greatest thing I ever heard, except for Chaconne that song took a little time to grow on me, but it's an incredible piece, I would think Prog amd Metal fans would like for the techinical ablility it takes to play it.

The only two must have on the list are Back Street Girl and The Fountain Of Salmacis. I think the music is just amazing.

I have Agnetha's box set of her Swedish studio albums, it is mostly her singing Schlager with a couple of an exceptions like SOS. She's back by Sven-Olof Walldoff orchestra, which is like a regular string orchestra with bass guitar and drums, not too different from the pit orchestra used for an Andrew Lloyd Weber musical, but the music is more like 60/70-ish Pop. You know she was Mary Magdeline in the Swedish verion of Jesus Chirst Superstar? I don't know if they have that released but her songs are on youtube - it's some of her finest work. If you like Agnetha and Lobo you might like Françoise Hardy

Chuck Berry mention Louis Jordan as one his major influences and I looked into him and been a fan ever since, I love Beans and Cornbread - a song about a food fight.

My Weakness great tune by Ukelele Ike. Cliff Edwards is mentioned in the Guiness Book of World records as the most heard voice in the world, although it is most likely most people don't know who he is by name.
