Yes, Jennifer Warnes 'Famous Blue Raincoat' is a definite favorite of mine.

Cassandra Wilson, 'Blue Light Til Dawn', just got LP version as bday prize, CD hardly ever cools off.

I started a somewhat related thread; What makes us chose a certain song as a favorite?

The song has that je ne sais quoi, if the song begins and I immediately get the feeling, "Oh yeah... that's the stuff" Then it's a favorite.

Here are some of mine;
Thunder Island   Jay Ferguson
I come alive     Jay Ferguson
Crackerbox palace    George Harrison
Stairway to Heaven   Led Zeppelin
Dream Weaver         Gary Wright
Hotel California    The Eagles

R & B
You make me wanna... Usher
Unbreak my heart   Toni Braxton
Ain't nobody         Chaka Khan
Try sleeping with a broken heart   Alicia Keys

Pop
A sorta fairytale   Tori Amos
Tonight           Nina Gordon
Lady           Modjo
Building a mystery       Sarah McLachlan
Stupid           Sarah McLachlan
Grandtheft    Easy Go

Country
Kiss me in the dark   Randy Rogers Band
Alabama     Cross Canadian Ragweed
Scream       Mindy McCready

Just a short list.
