Topic: Your top five

Ok here is my survey....

If you were limited to just five songs, what 5 songs would say were the best songs you ever heard or even just your favorites, at least currently  ?

I will post mine after Chordie replies have been exhausted.

PS  My list changes weekly smile  depending on my mood.

This might be in my  top 10 - not sure about 5 yet  smile

in my opinion -
"How the hell can a person, go to work in the morning, come home in the evening and have nothing to say" is one of the best lines ever !

unique because it is written for a woman to sing by John Prine.

Re: Your top five

Good one Jim. I like the video thanks for sharing this so cool. This part is a very good challenge got me thinking from you though a hard question for me to answer as my top five changes nearly every day so I will put up the first five songs that have quickly come into my mind.

Revolution, The Beatles

Redemption Song,  Bob Marley

Brothers In Arms, Dire Straits

The Weight , The Band

Tower Of Song, Tom Jones    People  might raise an eyebrow as to  why I like The Tom Jones version over other versions. I will attach a video that might show you why. Toms version is real good.
