This is ever-changing for me, but there are a few that remain on the list all the time:

1) "I've Been the One" - Little Feat (makes me cry)

2) "Bad Luck Blue Eyes Goodbye" - Black Crowes

3) "Ode to Joy" Chorus - Beethoven (I still get weepy when I hear that sometimes. Sue me.)

4) "Uncloudy Day" - Willie Nelson (this one gets me, too. Makes me think of my grandma)

5) "Dreams I'll Never See" - Allman Brothers

6) "Venus in Furs" - Velvet Underground

7) "No Woman, No Cry" - Bob Marley (sentimental reasons - Something personal happened around the "Everyting gonna be alright" refrain)

8) "Time Will Tell" - Etta James

9) "I'll Drown in My Tears" - Johnny Winter

10) "Whiskey Train" - Procol Harum (quite possibly the quintessential rock song

It's hard for me to limit it to just ten songs. I keep wanting to add tracks to this list after it's done.

"Show and Tell" - Al Wilson

"Strawberry Flats" - Little Feat (hell, just about any Little Feat)

"London Homesick Blues" - Gary P Nunn

"Milk Cow Blues" - Bob Wills and the Texas Playboys

"Glue Man" - Fugazi (really anything off of the collection in "13 Songs" or "Repeater")

I'm making this list with a Little Feat tape playing, and "Brides of Jesus" just started. Lowell George was absolutely amazing as a songwriter and musician. I'm disappointed that he gets so little popular recognition.

"Redemption Song" might be worth a mention if we are travelling into ropehead territory.

How come you Trolling Stones fans never mention Beggar's Banquet as a source of perfection?

Me and Keef reckon it's the finest Stones album ever.

necrophagist - fermented offal discharge (guitar solo at end = incredible)
sisters of mercy - temple of love (sentimental reasons)
at the gates - nausea (stayed up night after night listening to at the gates with my best friend)
phobia - means of existence (only way i can get to sleep is to play it on repeat, if i dont have this cd, i dont sleep)
eyehategod - ruptured heart theory (music i listen to when im sad, its pretty misanthropic so i identify with it pretty easily)
dystopia - stress builds character (helped me through a lot of hard times, any one who knows this song (mugtoe?) would probably know what im talking about)
burzum - war (same reason i listen to eyehategod)
los crudos - asesinos (even though its not in english, the passion martin has for his cause is incredible, and it comes through in the music, really powerful stuff)
brutal truth - denial of existence and antihomophobe (both off the extreme conditions cd, because they are both incredible songs)
nasum - the whole inhale/exhale cd. ive listened to this thousands of times, incredible stuff.

too many more to list, i give up now.

Immortal - Battles in the North (ultimate black metal tune)

and yeah, I wore out Human = Garbage for months when I was still in Texas.

If you've never checked out Rorschach, GB, you really should. There's a discography CD called "Autopsy" that's got most all of their stuff on it. I think you'd really like em a lot. I've got most of their stuff on vinyl as well and a CD of a show they did at an Italian squat back in the early 90s. They were only together for about three years.
