Thanx for posting, Amy!

Jamiroquai's "Half The Man" is brilliant! I love that song!

Cheek said:

I don't know if I could come up with something concrete. I have favorite songs within each artist, but I think I'd have a hard time comparing one artist's work to another to come up with the list. All I could come up with probably is a rough grouping.

50??? geeze, i go with 10 (in no particular order, and expressing a momentum)

1) Kate Rusby - The Sleepless sailor
2) The Scene - Feest
3) REM - Wendell Gee
4) Van Morrison - Liston to the lion
5) Gavin Friday and the Man Seezer - You take away the sun from me
6) Crowded House - Better be home soon
7) Nick Drake - From the morning
8) Van Morrison - The Healing Game
9) Van Morrison - In the Garden
10)Teenage Fanclub - Start again

i threw this together very quickly - i wouldn't necessarily want this list written in stone as my favourite tracks, no exceptions, but this is as good as i could do in six minutes.
