I originally did have the Dylan original there! But I needed him for John Wesley Hardin, and I didn't want to double up, so I swapped out to the Bryan Ferry cover. It's a good version.

...going to have to check out that Rachel Bloom song, I loved her Ray Bradbury one.

Nice job Tio. I was working on it, but wanted actual artist names in the title and I wasn't getting ten.

I got this one.

I'm a HUGE Neal Morse fan so I could have used pretty much anything he has written as a solo artist as it's all spiritual, but I just used him a couple of times:

Christus Factos est - Benedictine Monks of Santa Domingo de Sila
Solitary Soul - Spock's Beard (from the incredible album "Snow" which is all about the path to religious discovery)
Dear God - XTC
Stranger in Your Soul - Transatlantic
Under The God - Tin Machine
Halo - Porcupine Tree
The Ways of the Fool - Neal Morse Band (from the incredible "Similitude of a Dream" inspired by John Bunyan's The Pilgrim's Progress)
The Door - Neal Morse (from "Sola Scriptura" inspired by the life of Martin Luther)
In the Name of God - Dream Theater
The Temple of the Living God - Neal Morse (taken from "?" inspired by the 12 tribes of Israel)

Next up songs about music
