Tougher than you think!

[Carl East]

This thread was going to be all about listing your all time top ten musical numbers, but I found it harder to write down my favourites than I thought it would be. Everytime I put a song down, I remembered another one that was better.

So instead, I'd like to see your favourite top three of all time, the answers might be interesting. Also, if you name three tracks and later remember a better one, place a number at the bottom of your post, to show how many times you changed your mind.

I'm still thinking about my third track, so I'll put mine in at a later date.

2. Pride and Joy - Stevie Ray Vaughan - I never, ever get tired of his music, but if I had to pick one song, this would be it.

3. Soul Singing - the Black Crowes - such a joy-filled song, it never fails to make me smile when I hear it.

I just can't do this! Every time I think of a song, or three, I think of a couple dozen others that I like equally. If I put down my three favorite songs I won't agree with myself in a few minutes.
