Hallelujah Chorus - Handel
Carolina In My Mind - James Taylor
Wishing You Were Here - Chicago
I am the Mercury - Jimmy Spheeris
One for Daddy-O - Nat Adderly
Tuxedo Junction - Glenn Miller

I could sit here all day as I recollect wonderful songs/performances. I don't think it could ever be narrowed down to 100 much less just one.

mmm..... for real stereo effect, listen to 'Helter-Skelter' (the white album) through a decent set of headphones.


wish you were here? yeah, right......

(PS did I ever tell you about the time I saw them live in '74? Hippodrome Theatre in Birmingham, first set was 'Dark Side', second half was 'our soon to be released album, 'wish you were here'..' - we sat right behind the mixing desk.)

Nobody living can ever stop me
As I go walking my freedom highway
Nobody living can make me turn back
This land is made for you and me.

Best song ever written?

Dunno, but Lennon's 'In My Life' should be up there somewhere.

Death on Two Legs is pure pwnage, I can't think of a single song that destroys a target so utterly.
