5. I've Had Enough by The Who
The best Who song ever recorded, from an album of the same nature.

'nuff said.
3. Ring Of Fire by Eric Burden & The Animals

This song made me realise that it's not me, it's the rest of the world.

8. Echoes by Pink Floyd
Floyd at their best.

Prog at the height of its complexity, ambition, gaudiness and power.
6. Sometime World by Wishbone Ash
Just find it and listen - you will not be disappointed.

Good, long song.

Helped introduce the sound of British prog.
1. Behind Blue Eyes by The Who
Perfect short rocker.

10. Name Of The Game by Badfinger
9. Hear My Train A-Comin’ (Live at Berkley) by Jimi Hendrix
Hendrix at his most incredible. Words cannot describe what pours forth from the master of the Stratocaster in this, his most seminal song. Strangely, his best playing came in his last year of life.
8. Ballad of Sir Frankie Crisp (Let It Roll) by George Harrison
The very heart of the mysterious LSD and Hindu/meditation - inspired All Things Must Pass album.
7. We Used To Know by Jethro Tull
Such a perfect song for Jethro Tull describes the fleeting past as if it were alive in the telling.
6. And You And I by Yes
Yes made seriously good music and they hit it right on with this one.
5. Religion by Ten Years After
Excellently produced song reflecting the ethereal sense of the unknown which Alvin Lee rejects as senseless. Beautiful guitar solo by one of the great forgotten guitarists.
4. Blue Sky by Allman Brothers Band
A perfectly simple song about feeling good on a perfect day played creatively from the heart. One of Duane's last performances.
3. Out Of The Blue by Roxy Music
Bryan Ferry's great apotheosis of escape from tragic hopelessness.
2. Taboo by Santana
This is a sonic and musical marvel that can best be appreciated with headphones. Keep your ears trained on the rhythm section.
1. Starless by King Crimson
King Crimson, the musicians' band, released their best album "Red" and its grand finale exceeds anything anyone has ever done.
