Have you ever wondered how many songs have you heard in your life time? I tried but it is very difficult. So what I did is to compile my own top ten list of favourite songs: I am I said I am - Neil Diamond Holly Holy - Neil Diamond Sounds of Silence - Simon & Garfunkel The Boxer - Simon & Garfunkel Toy Train - John Edmund The Carnival is Over - The Seekers Like Old Friends Do - ABBA Wooden Heart - Elvis My Friend the Wind - BZN Last of the Callahan Boys - BZN This list can change because nearly daily a song from long time ago suddenly pop up in your head.

Wow, this is really a very hard question, to be sure, especially since I truly enjoy listening to a lot of different songs spanning different genres and ages that simply condensing my list of favorites merely to ten would actually be quite difficult. If I were to guess, though, my top ten list would perhaps include the following (in no particular order): 1. My Way--Sinatra; 2. Impossible Dream--Van Dross; 3. Go the Distance--Hercules soundtrack; not Bolton's; 4. Vivo Per Lei--Boccelli; 5. Imagine--Beatles; 6. Born Free--Monro; 7. Four Seasons--Vivaldi; 8. Unchained Melody--Presley; 9. We are the Champions--Queen; 10. I believe I can Fly--R.Kelly Ultimately, however, as you've aptly said, "this list can change" as well.

Thanks to all those who responded. I must admit, once I completed my list of ten, out of the blue songs I nearly forgot came to mind. The main thing is we all could share one common thing the world wide over - our love for music.Thanks again to all of you.

Yes, I actually had some fun deciding on which receive higher priority. It is also interesting that as your mood changes so will your favourite song. Actually one should compile such a list every day to see how the favorites will change.

Oh my - what a difficult question. I'm not sure could narrow it down to just 10! But I will try - so here they are..... in no particular order, - and not sure how many will be known to others here as a lot of them are quite obscure British stuff! Dry Land - Marillion Sidewalk - Icehouse Afterglow - Genesis Fields of Gold - Sting Land of Grey and Pink - Caravan Losing It - Rush Nothing but the Sun - Runrig Right Here Waiting - Richard Marx Sequences - Twelfth Night Once in a Lifetime - Bono with Clannad
