what are your five essential songs

Great thread, I'm listening to equinox by Coltrane as I type.

John Coltrane-seraphic light

Miles Davis-shhh peacful

Chris Speed-transporter

David S. Ware-logistic

Tim Berne-heavy mental

As will apply to many posters, there could be others on the list if you'd ask me tomorrow (or in an hour for that matter)

Kashmir - Led Zeppelin
Every Colour You Are - Rain, Tree, Crow
Musical Box (live) - Genesis
Ne Me Quite Pas - Jacques Brel
Folk Song - Jack Bruce

Three of those are forbidden land since Rosemarie's death, in particular Brel; I admit that merely mentioning the title of this song is an effort that leaves me mentally wrecked

1) tom waits: 16 shells for 30/06
2) dead: sugaree (off dix pix 3)
3) stones: cant you hear me knocking
4) who: sea & sand
5) band of bees: sky holds the sun

at this very moment....the eagle rock/daddy cool....hot love/t. rex....please remember me/cliff richard....absolutely brilliant/sandi shaw...may you never/john martyn....subject to change any minute.

Five essential songs off the top of my head:

Louis Armstrong-Potato Head Blues
Van Morrison- Into The Mystic
Thelonious Monk- Round Midnight
Dion-Ruby Baby
Greatful Dead-Box of Rain
