Series of Dreams - Bob Dylan
Sylvia - Focus
nice 1 song choice. belongs to my top 3 fave BD songs. the other being "Things have changed" which also fits to this "poll" and another which is not relevant here
another song that always gets me is "Echoes - Pink Floyd" but mayb even more it's predecessor, "nothing part 14" from the Early Years box. man, that buildup,....epic...

Yes, as soon as you hear Rick play that 1st single piano note, you know it's special.
Knopfler, Oldfield and Gilmour is all the guitar I need.

We all know and love Mark's songs, but what other song can you listen to that just gets to you, you can play it at anytime and it just uplifts you, even if you can't explain why, or it's by some artist you are not normally into, for me it's This is Love by George Harrison, it may not be his best known or most celebrated song, but I can listen to it again and again, I just really like, it doesn't matter why.

Fat old sun. This one from 2006 at the RAH.

I've mostly listened to Spirit of Eden and Laughing Stock, but Colour of Spring too is a phenomenal album. Strong songs and beautiful production, and more accessible than the two aforementioned albums.

Sea Fever

William Topley is not my favorite singer, but Mark played the guitar wonderfully in this song. Mark should sing on this song.

For me, there's a particular song that never fails to get me in a positive mood: "Don't Stop Me Now" by Queen. Whenever I hear the energetic beats and Freddie Mercury's electrifying vocals, I can't help but feel an instant surge of energy and joy. It's like a musical pick-me-up that instantly lifts my spirits and puts a smile on my face.

Yes, I agree, Don't Stop Me Now is always a great song to lift your mood.

Another one for me is Always with me, Always with You by Joe Satriani, I am not a fan of his over the top stuff, but this track is lovely, and very melodic.
Knopfler, Oldfield and Gilmour is all the guitar I need.
