and either Louie Prima or Diamond Dave singing "Just a Gigolo." I like enjoy both versions.
Bay City Rollers "Saturday Night."
Wear gaudy colors, or avoid display. Lay a million eggs or give birth to one. The fittest shall survive, yet the unfit may live. Be like your ancestors or be different. We must repeat!

Wow... you really know your Mahler! The 9th is great... the ending is fantastic. I love pretty much all of the Mahler works, but I wanted to give a good representation of my tastes on my list. 2 and 6 are favorites of mine as well, but being a trumpet player, I couldn't resist the 5th.

1. I don't really love you anymore - Magnetic Fields
2. pork roll egg & cheese - ween

School's out. What did you expect?
I think this thread has evolved from a top ten list to just personal favorites. And that's fine. Here are some more of mine....

There's No Way Out Of Here - David Gilmour
Meadows - Joe Walsh
Maybe I'm Amazed - McCartney
Bell Bottom Blues - Clapton
No More Tears - Ozzy (love the guitar)
Street Of Dreams - Rainbow

1. Black Velvet - Allanah Miles
2. Sunspot Baby - Bob Seger

5. Jailhouse Rock - Elvis Presley
6. Shake it Up - The Cars

Have to add On Broadway and just about anything else by The Drifters.
"Whatever you choose, however many roads you travel, I hope that you choose not to be a lady. I hope you will find some way to break the rules and make a little trouble out there. And I also hope that you will choose to make some of that trouble on behalf of women." - Nora Ephron
Without further ado...
Neutral Milk Hotel - Gardenhead/Leave Me Alone
The Apples in Stereo - The Bird That You Can't See
The Velvet Undergound - Lady Godiva's Operation
The Black Keys - Just Couldn't Tie Me Down
The Secret Machines - Sad and Lonely
Pavement - Grounded
Built to Spill - In the Morning
Guided By Voices - I Am a Scientist
My Morning Jacket - Lowdown (gotta be the live version)
The Beatles - Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds
Great choices. I love the muted arpeggiated guitar part in the chorus of "In the Morning." It's by far my favorite BTS song.
And well, that a hugely popular hit song like "Lucy in the Sky..." was written to waltz-time is a testament to Lennon's genius. I wonder what the next popular waltz will be?
