    Love just going through these songs. 

    People picking Steam Engine, Grace, Ohio and Slip Away deserve all respect.

    Had a good friend go to the Atlanta show.  Tried to hold his phone up for me to hear it play. (Didn't work, but I appreciated the attempt.) Love that song.

    I'm not capable of actually choosing my 3 favorite songs... there is really no such thing. So these are basically just 3 songs I love, lol.

    Perfect Day - Lou Reed
    Inevitability of Death - Tragically Hip
    Bron-Y-Aur Stomp - Led Zeppelin

    (The Hip song isn't available on Spotify for some reason, so my replacement choice, for the sake of the playlist I'm making, is Hallelujah covered by KD Lang)

    1) Bob Marley & The Wailers - Jammin'
    2) The Waterboys - Fisherman's Blues
    3) The Police - So Lonely
    Pap I feel lucky to have seen 2 of your 3 performed live: Waterboys on the Fisherman's Blues album tour, and the Police on Ghost in the Machine and Zenyatta Mondatta (but they did So Lonely at least one of those 2 shows).  I WISH I'd seen Bob Marley live... so sorry I never got the chance.
    And now I'm jealous!.. :smile: I was fortunate enough to see Fisherman's Blues as the last song (a memorable sing-along and first row experience) of an incredible summer night in Athens, Greece during the Book Of Lightning tour in 2007! :smiley:
    Ooooh, the Waterboys in Athens!  That's definitely more of a gorgeous setting than I saw them in, so good for you!

    "Fishreman's Blues" is not in my top three but it's a great song.  Love those whooping oooh, oooh's! Good choice, there!

    Impossible feat, so I am going to stick with instrumentals for the time being. These 3 are all masterpieces and could loop endlessly for me.

    Fantasia on a Theme by Thomas Tallis (Such a beautiful song. I just close my eyes and drift along)
    https://youtu.be/ihx5LCF1yJY
    Blue Train - John Coltrane (Hard to pick my favorite Coltrane, but this one always stands out)
    https://youtu.be/S1GrP6thz-k
    Orion - Metallica (Hard to pick between this and Call of Ktulu, but I've probably listened to this hundreds of times and wore my cassette of this album out as a kid)
    https://youtu.be/c8qrwON1-zE
     

    It's a hopeless situation...

    Would it be a waste of my time to compile all these in a spotify playlist? Or are there people who would enjoy that?
