Free as a Bird by The Beatles. My funeral song, for sure. I'ma put that in my will when I'm old and grey. Shit, man, every time I hear that song, it feels like my heart is outside of my chest.
Straight to Hell by The Clash.
Beautiful Night, Rock Show, The Lovers that Never Were, From a Lover to a Friend, Gotta Sing, Gotta Dance, Hold me Tight Medley, well...shit... almost anything by Paul McCartney!
Same goes for Lennon, but I'm real fond of everything on the Imagine album, particularly "Gimme some truth" and "Crippled Inside".
One more Cup of Coffee by Bob Dylan.
Coward of the County by Kenny Rogers.
ANYTHING else in the Beatles catalog, but mostly I Am The Walrus, A Day in the Life, Rocky Raccoon, Hey Bulldog...
National Health by The Kinks.
Do The Mind Gorilla(World Groove) by World Party ("God's gonna love you... 'cuz God's pretty funky!")
Blitzkrieg Bop and Commando by The Ramones
Winchester Cathedral by Frank Sinatra...
and I think...
The Trees Get Wheeled Away, Landlocked Blues, and Cape Canaveral by Bright Eyes.
