TG's recent mention of Blue Oyster Cult prompted me to look through the Cd's and come up with my current top ten. My top ten can change from day to day, I can listen to classical (but can't remember one piece from another), I sometimes get goosebumps listening to Pavorotti, 60's music can be a joy, 70's, 80's and early 90's bring back great memories, and as can be seen from my current top ten below, rock/guitar music are my favourite genres. I've restricted my list to one track per artist, so in no particular order
Estranged - Guns 'n' Roses
Heroes - Dave Bowie
Honky Tonk Women - Rolling Stones
Don’t Fear the Reaper - Blue Oyster Cult
Rough Boy - ZZ Top
Feel the Benefit - 10cc
You Shook me All Night Long - AC DC
Waiting for an Alibi - Thin Lizzy
Free Bird - Lynyrd Skynyrd
Don't be Afraid of the Dark - Robert Cray

Quite impossible JOM, but here goes... it's a bit like Desert Island Slipped Discs! Since I
enjoy love a wide variety of music I've chosen 2 from 5 genres for the current top ten. The criteria is that if I hear them I just have to stop and listen... for that moment, nothing else matters.
CLASSICAL
Piano Concerto No. 2 in F minor, 2nd movement, Frederic Chopin (1829)
Piano Concerto No. 2 in F major, 2nd movement, Dimitri Shostakovich (1957)
JAZZ

ROCK
All Shook Up, the Ry Cooder version
Won't Get Fooled Again, The Who... as loud as bearable
