Impossible for me to say but I guess Motorhead - Ace of Spades would have to be one of them.

Almost impossible to name but three... But I'll have a go.

Child In Time - Deep Purple. Preferably the Made in Japan live version, rather than the studio cut. Ian Gillan's voice is at the peak of it's powers here, the notes he reaches in his screams are astonishing. A masterclass guitar solo from Ritchie Blackmore, too. Powerhouse stuff.

Mistreated - Deep Purple. Again, preferably the live version from Made in Europe.This time it's David Coverdale on the mike with a soulful performance, and Ritchie again making the guitar sing with a blistering solo.

Baker Street - Gerry Raferty. Might seem an odd match with the above two, but love the guitar, love the sax solo....

I really could name a couple of dozen others, but the rule was just the three....

Three!

Okely, dokely..........

1) Riders on the Storm - Doors. Creepy, atmospheric, and a fine end to the Doors last album (proper).

2) Time - Pink Floyd. Never has a band, before or since, encapsulated the feelings that in quiet moments all 40 somethings have. Whether they are willing to admit it or not.

3) Born to run - Bruce Springsteen. Summed up life for me over a four year period quite nicely. Live hard, die free. Great fun!

3 - Script for a Jesters Tear - Marillion

Expect an edit on this in the next 24 hours

One I'd agree with. As an aside, there's a track on Frou Frou's 'Details' album which makes use of the main theme from this track - it's a wonderful version.

That is a tricky question........

I agree with one chap mentioning Bruce Springsteen - needs to be in there somewhere, but not Born To Run - although it is very good.

So


Bruce Springsteen - New York City Serenade (The Wild the Innocent and the E-Street Shuffle

Simon and Garfunkel - Bridge over Troubled Water - THE Greatest song of all time

Roy Orbison - Crying -


Whoops just though of another 3


and another



oh and some more
