    Van Morrison - Listen To The Lion
    Cat Stevens - Trouble
    John Martyn - Small Hours
    Brian Eno - 1/2


    The fifth song, which isn't on Spotify, is the original studio version of Ask Me No Questions, by Bridget St. John.

    this is impossible, but here are some of my all time favourite songs (excluding Pearl Jam)
    and these TOP songs for me, I don´t care what the rest of the world thinks :P

    Peter Gabriel - Here comes the flood
    Alice in chains - Nutshell
    REM - Country feedback
    Pink Floyd - Comfortably numb
    Queen & David Bowie - Under pressure

    and that is leaving so many out...
    I am just a dreamer, but you are just a dream...
    If I knew where it was I would take you there.
