Many of these songs are great favorites of mine. In fact, with the exceptions of #3 and #8, I adore all of these. #10 is my favorite U2 track; #5 my favorite Elton John song. I think I’ll burn these ten to a CD for the car…
1. "Harmony", Elton John
2. "Playing Your Song", Hole
3. "Free", Train
4. "Swallow", Wailin’ Jennys
5. "Mona Lisas and Mad Hatters", Elton John
6. "I’m so Happy I can’t Stop Crying", Sting
7. "Honky Tonk Blues", Hank Williams
8. "Wisemen", James Blunt
9. "Biko", Peter Gabriel
10. "Bad", U2 (live version)
#5 is my favorite Elton John track, too. Have you heard the Indigo Girls version of this one, Hugo? It’s FANTASTIC. It’s hard to find, since it’s a bootleg live track, but you can usually find it on the web, or i could email it to you. (To the best of my knowledge the Indigo Girls are okay with the circulation of bootleg tracks, especially the ones from almost twenty years ago like this one is.)
