I had to laugh when I read this Above the Kitchen! So true! Growing up on Long Island in the 70's and 80's Billy Joel was a constant on the radio and just a part of the general psyche of "the Island". To this day his music instantly brings me back to where I grew up.

Oh, so here are my 10 favorite songs (at this moment!). As others have said, songs that I never get bored with and that make me stop what I am doing.

Stupidly Happy -XTC
She Will Have Her Way -Mr. Finn
Between Something and Nothing -The Ocean Blue
Happy Hour -The Housemartins
Even Flow -Pearl Jam
Twentysomething -Jamie Cullum
On My Own -from Les Miserables (I love a good Broadway tune)
The Reflex -Duran Duran
Rock Lobster -the B-52s
All The Way -Billie Holiday

Don't you Billy Joel fans think that Spoon's The Underdog smacks of him totally?

Oh God yes, but it's still rock and roll to me!

TEN is just too few! Showing my age as well. I don't think I love these songs only for musical reasons either, or poetic reasons etc. but also for the times with which I associate them.
