Unwritten - Natasha Bedingfield (one of the best pop lyrics in recent memory)Georgia Rain - Trisha Yearwood (the "perfect" country song)Your Body Is A Wonderland - John Mayer (nothing about this song and record could be improved)Breakaway - Kelly Clarkson (a pop song that will be studied for years to come) Somewhere Only We Know - Keane (a killer song that breaks some "song form rules")Lose Yourself - Eminem (gonna raise some eyebrows with this one )This is just off the top of my head...I'll have more later

My votes for "Half-Moon Bay" by Dan Fogelberg. It's instrumental, but beautiful.Other than that, "The Christmas Shoes" by Ray Bolger(?).Walter327

I'm not a big Santana fan, but I like the song "I'm feeling you" with Michelle Branch , and also anything by Scott Krippayne.

Since I'm a rocker hiding in orchestral clothes, I have to say:U2: VertigoI like rock songs that make the hair stand up on your arms!Also, a lot of bands (U2 included) are covering Neil Young's "Rocking In The Free World." Great song. The subject matter stands the test of time.Ern
