    I can never settle on all 8, but three I would always have on my desert island are.

    The Easter Hymn, from Cavallera Rusticana by Mascagni (I am not a religious person, but this is stunning)

    The Journey to the Rhein, orchestral prelude to Gotterdammerrung by Richard Wagner.

    The Guy Who Found the Lost Chord, by Jimmy Durante.

              Notice Pink Floyd cropping up on quite a few peoples lists. :dbgrtmb:
              As I write this I've got BBC6 Music playing on iPlayer (they're doing a Pink Floyd special all evening).
              Typing this to the amazing sounds of Echoes from the album Meddle.
              Never fails to make the hairs stand up on the back of my neck. :rolleyespink: :cool:

                  Not sure my list would include many 'songs', but for what it's worth, my pieces of music would (in no particular order) probably/possibly include:

                  Symphony No. 9 (The Ode to Joy) in D minor ... Beethoven
                  Cantata - Wachet auf, ruft uns die Stimme ... J S Bach
                  No. 9 from Variations on an Original Theme ... Edward Elgar
                  Nunc Dimittis (Burgon) ... Choir of Wells Cathedral
                  Tell Me It's Not True (from Blood Brothers) ... Barbara Dickson et.al.
                  Panis Angelicus (César Franck) ... Pavarotti
                  From a Distance ... Bette Midler

                  and, just for a little light relief ..
                  Gang Bang ... Black Lace

                  Such a tough one. I could think of 100 songs that would fit the bill.

                  But here goes....

                  Pink Floyd....Comfortably Numb (the Pulse version)
                  Neil Young....Like A Hurricane(the 'Unplugged' version)
                  The Moody Blues....Have You Heard
                  Hawkwind....Hurry On Sundown
                  Barry Ryan....Eloise
                  The Beatles....She's Leaving Home
                  Genesis....Cinema Show
                  Led Zep....Since I've Been Loving You

                  No good me trying to pick just one.......Damn, just remembered...Roy Harper and David Bowie....
