    I'll make a Spotify list of four my top five, so you can hear them if you're in the right region:

    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.
