Wow, this is a tough one for me, since the bottom half of my top 10 is fluid - items 6 through 10 change on a regular basis. On a side note, songs 1 through 5 last changed in MAYBE 1993. I have included links to the YouTube versions in here, and I encourage you to take a listen (if you dare), but not all the songs are either the best quality or version - i.e. U2's Live Aid performance.

And yea, for the most part there IS a running theme here...

1. Peter Gabriel - Come Talk to Me
4. Simon and Garfunkle - For Emily Whenever I May Find Her
5. Gordon Lightfoot - Canadian Railway Trilogy
6. Stabbing Westward-Save Yourself
7. Jeff Buckley - Hallelujah
10. Filo & Peri ft. Eric Lumiere - Anthem
