A Musical Message to My Son

Lately, as I've been working, nutman jr. aka the inchling, will hear a song I'm listening to and say "that's great. Will you burn me a cd of that?"

I've been compiling a playlist for him of his favorites and some classics that I think should be a part of everyone's musical upbringing.

So far he's chosen

Ravel's Bolero
Gershwin's Rhapsody in Blue
Oliver Nelson's Hoe Down
The Wreck of the Ella Fitzgerald (family joke)

I've put in
Embryonic Journey
I Have the Touch

But it got me to thinking of what 100 songs do you think are essential if you were to make a list.

It would be great if this thread could be added to as you think of songs over time rather than trying to come up with a top 100 list right away. Or even a top 40. I think some things are slow to be revealed.
