I don't think any 5 songs alone can sustain me. I'd find another hobby.

But if I had to chose:

Epitaph - King Crimson
Suppers Ready - Genesis (at least its 20 minutes long....)
Man Erg or Still Life - Van Der Graaf Generator
Blue World - Moody Blues
Some Dylan song, not sure which ("Highlands" maybe, that's long too)!

That's 110 titles so far without any doubles; I'm proud of all and any of us!

We stand in defiance of the ignorant commercial always replicable hit parade pushers.
