Well, as already mentioned, picking top songs is pretty difficult. Mine would change by the day and by season. Summer songs, winter songs... Some things sound better on a dark winter highway and some sound better with the windows rolled down and the sun blazing.

Songs that I'm a sucker for (ie, I'll turn up the radio when flipping around) include alot of GNR and Floyd. Sultans of Swing always gets turned up. Umm, stuff like Imagine or Let it Be would definitely get turned up. But probably more because they remind me of certain places instead of sheer musical or poetic genius.

That certainly has my favorite lyric of all time:
"Out on the road today I saw a Dead-head sticker on a Cadillac...
A little voice inside my head said you don't look back, you can never look back"

Great choice.

Yes, Im waiting to hear this too...
