Wow this is hard. I've listed over 20 songs and still I feel that I've only begun. There are simply TOO MANY songs to list... I'm not even getting started and I haven't gotten into Pink Floyd and a couple others that would bulk up this list rather quickly. This thread just reminds me how much I enjoy music and why I am in this audio game. I'm going to stop for now as I fear I will be up all night. Looking foreward to hearing some of your favorites, guys!!
