Not doing Beatles, because that would give away the results of my countdown.

Simon and Garfunkel
  • America
  • My Little Town
  • The Only Living Boy in New York
  • Mrs. Robinson
  • Kathy's Song

Billy Joel
  • Vienna
  • Say Goodbye to Hollywood
  • Scenes From an Italian Restaurant
  • You May Be Right
  • Only the Good Die Young

And I'll throw in a band I don't really like, the Stones.
  • She's a Rainbow
  • (I Can't Get No) Satisfaction
  • As Tears Go By
  • Jumpin' Jack Flash
  • Let's Spend the Night Together

I know it's obvious to say The Sound of Silence, but surely The Sound of Silence?
I'd be interested to see your Bowie list.

The original version from Wednesday Morning, 3 A.M. would probably make my top ten.

My Bowie list ch-ch-changes a lot, but I keep coming back to "Changes", "Life on Mars?", "Young Americans", "Starman", and of course "Space Oddity"--all big hits.

If I'm going more obscure/underrated, it would be "Oh! You Pretty Things", "Five Years", "Diamond Dogs" (it's a hit, but still underrated), "Soul Love", and "Sound and Vision".
