Maybe it isn't in my Top100... but now it's the #1! Then i'll remember LedZep, Jethro Tull, Hendrix ("Little Wing"!!!!!)... man, it's impossible!

Right now it's somewhere between Caetano Veloso's version of <a href="http://youtube.com/watch?v=lwg_yK2pwdM" rel="nofollow">Cucurrucucu Paloma</a> and Chaka Demus and Pliers' <a href="http://youtube.com/watch?v=yAHJZR5VChc" rel="nofollow">Murder She Wrote</a>. I will change my mind shortly after hitting the post button. Similar to <i>What's your favourite book</i> or <i>Who's your favourite kid</i>. Depends on the moment. It’s fluid, I can’t commit to one.

Interesting choice, I "tip my hat" to it. Intriguingly I had considered two other songs from the same album, Baba O Riley and Behind Blue Eyes, as entries for my top ten. But for reasons I shall enumerate later, Judy stayed unchallenged. Nice to see you here, Paul. Interesting choice, I “tip my hat” to it.

Canticorum Jubilo, by Haendel, could come close if it were much longer. In fact it's the complexity and development of Judy Blue Eyes that makes it so great (and that also makes Cortez the Killer a great song). So eventually I have made up my mind: Just give me all the clichés of Blues, a Hammond organ, Clapton and/or Page on guitar, the complete works of Willie Dixon and I will sing the blues on a desert island for the next 100 years (potential listeners will be happy the island is desert but I will improvise and live happily ever after) PS: I cannt play the Hammond, but given some electricity I will have plenty of time to learn.

Miles Davis. (The version from the Kind of Blue album) Also, I think it's interesting how most of the songs listed so far probably come from something we heard when we were young. All Blues.

And talking about take five, I remember being immensely frustrated at an early version of trivial pursuit, where the question was "who wrote take Five" and I answered Paul Desmond with confidence, only to have the others laugh at my "not knowing it was Dave Brubeck". It didn't matter what I said, they had to go with the answer on the card. I did my nut, but I was young then.

I've tried a few times and failed miserably ... I don't even know why I like it, let alone why someone else should. "Yessongs" is another slab of vinyl I'll get around to buying the CD for one day ... Hey JP – was your dinner companion able to successfully explain ‘Six Wives’?
