In response to the other post, the one's you'll always love. As many as you like within reason and stick to radio friendly so we'll all know 'em. 

Supertramp, Dreamer. A nugget of prog(ish) that made the charts.

Crowded House, Weather With You. Sublime. 

Yes, Wondrous Stories.

Mike Oldfield, Far Above The Clouds from TB III, hairs standing up, shivers down my spine, and tears of Joy......every.....single ....time.

When that 1st bell hits...its like a punch in the chest!

 

I must have heard this thousands of times since 1998, its even been the ring tone on my phone for the last 5 years.

I honestly believe this is the most entrancing, inspiring piece of musical art I have ever experienced.

Dancing Queen - one of the best pop records ever made?

My Girl ( The Temptations ) - Motown perfection.

Honky Tonk Women - Fifty years old and probably my favourite hit single ever.       The minute the cowbell starts and the drums kick in, wow.

Born to run - Epic song that still sounds fresh.

I heard it through the grapevine - again, still sounding timeless.

I think they are so good, the first time I heard fireworks their voices just blew me away, I think I’ve seen everything by them on YouTube 🙂
