Glad to see someone mention Porcupine Tree, and since you already listed it, I'll leave out Anesthetize to make more room in mine  Bowie - Heroes (or Ashes to Ashes..) The Prodigy - Climbatize Radiohead - Dollars and cents (among many others) The Beatles - Because Aphex Twin - Window Licker (or Milkman..) Muse - Butterflies and Hurricanes Franz Schubert - Unfinished symphony Nirvana - Breed Jimi Hendrix - The wind cries Mary Paul Simon - Call me Al (don't ask lol..) In no particular order, many of which could be swapped with others (I love so many) My fav varies from time to time, but would probably be a Bowie or Radiohead tune. | ||

 but here goes. Top 3 is easy enough, but I can never decide the order of them. Simon & Garfunkel - Bridge over troubled water Elton John - Your Song Jeff Buckley - Hallelujah the rest in no particular order Elliott Smith - Needle in the hay Weezer - Island in the sun Jimi Hendrix - All along the watchtower Johnny Cash - Hurt Beatles - Let it be Neil Young - Heart of gold Bob Dylan - Knockin on heavens door Yeah I know several of these songs are covers, but I like them better than the original and most of them are probably equally/more known to the public than their originals anyway. | ||

I'm not going to bother giving a top # of music because those get overwritten quite frequently, not to mention (again) my taste is pretty lousy (an array electronic dance music and/or Eurobeat) would dominate this list. how can musical taste be "lousy" ??

OP listed "Sympathy For The Devil" and "Gimme Shelter" which are probably my favorite two Rolling Stones songs as well. If I were to add a third one, it'd possibly be one of "Rock and a Hard Place", "Paint It Black", "Hot Stuff", although there are a few other strong candidates. It's really hard to pick 2-3 top Beatles songs. Their absolute best work which comprises at least 10-20 songs of very even quality, and my personal favorites happen to be the most unconventional ones, such as "Being for the Benefit of Mr. Kite!". To be extremely conventional, I guess it'd be impossible to leave out "Hey Jude". Some of their early stuff (like most of A Hard Day's Night) is also awesome. Gah, it's too hard I'd pick at least one song by Neil Young, and "Ohio" listed earlier by Macavenger is as good as any. Other possibilities are "Rockin' In The Free World", "My My, Hey Hey", and perhaps a few more unknown songs like "Change Your Mind", "Leave The Driving". But unlike with the Beatles, I wouldn't get nightmares over leaving a bunch of those out. Led Zeppelin - "Stairway To Heaven". Yes, it's overplayed, but deserves it nonetheless. Other candidates: "Good Times Bad Times"; "Kashmir" or anything from Physical Graffiti disc 1. And then some single candidates by other artists: John Lennon - "Imagine" Pearl Jam - "Even Flow" (or any other representative pick from Ten) Metallica - "Master Of Puppets" or maybe "Enter Sandman" Guns 'N Roses - "Welcome To The Jungle" (or any of several others) Cream - "Sunshine Of Your Love" or maybe "White Room" Something by Yardbirds (not sure which right now) Something by Elvis or Little Richard (again, hard to choose one) And that's ignoring a bunch of givens like "Hotel Of California", "Smeels Like Teen Spirit", "Smoke On The Water" or something by Simon & Garfunkel... that I however don't care as quite much for personally. If we're not just counting rock, I'd include "Giant Steps" (John Coltrane), "Spain" (Chick Corea) and/or something by Miles Davis. If classical music is allowed, it's an entirely different story, and I'm not even going to try (I could stretch myself to balance Beatles and Metallica, but how do you even compare Beatles and Bach?); I would be able to write down a separate classical top 10 though. So yeah, this wasn't a top 10. More like a draft for a top 20. It could be turned into a top 10 with a lot of cropping, I guess. Sorry for being too lazy to do the work Choosing top 10 albums would be much easier, I think. Maybe I'll do that... | ||

Simon Says and The Tangent are definitely my favorites of the modern prog bands. Suddenly the Rain is surely a classic in the making, the entire album is amazing actually. The Ethernet is great if you don't mind Tillison's sometimes bored vocal delivery, although if you do I would recommend checking out some of their other songs (Uphill From Here, GPS Culture, Four Egos, One War) where his singing is more powerful. | ||

I do like a few of their songs, but they're not a band I actively listen to. And no, the Simon Says I'm referring to is definitely not metal, they began as a project out of Sweden started by Stefan Renstrom, although now they're pretty much a regular band with him doing most of the composing. Their site is here. | ||

10. Depapepe - Start Fantastic energy. Gets me going when I'm down. 9. Coldplay - Viva la Vida The power in his voice when he talks about the fear in his enemies' eyes makes me want to go make some enemies fearful. 8. Dawnseekers - Eurydice Breathy female vocalists have to come into the list somewhere. 7. Beatles - For No One Picking a favorite Beatles song is rough, but the chorus is addicting and there's tons of emotion... quite like a lot of Beatles songs, really. Whatever, this is the one I remember. 6. LPChip - Dreaming Onwards So calm and so beautiful. It makes me believe in good times. 5. Zephyris 4 - Coup de Grace Sets off my almost-synesthesia something crazy. 4. Brian Dunning - Down in Yon Forest Best damn flute I have ever heard. 3. Spyro Gyra - Bob Goes to the Store Cheerful, happy, epic song. Got me into music in the first place. Feels like you're riding an ephemeral roller coaster on tracks made of plasma in outer space. 2. Billy McLaughlin - Candleman Everything is going to be alright. 1. Tangerine Dream - Comet's Figure Head Perfectly peaceful. | ||

Haha, I wouldn't choose this song by Spyro Gyra (to start with, I think both "Freefall" and "Breakout" from the same album are better) but your description is great. Especially that "ephemeral roller coaster on tracks made of plasma in outer space" completely fails to makes sense with respect to the song's title. It's awesome that a single song "got you into music". | ||
