    "River deep mountain high" by Tina Turner and Phil Spector is a song I never get tired of. "Free your mind" by En Vogue hits me any time with it's energy.

    It's great to read your lists. You remind me of some songs I havn't heard for ages and would love to. "Silent lucidity" for example was fabulous track.

    Just before Easter I walked by a church and from the outside I heard the church choir training. They sung this classical track "Halleluja". I guess it's from Händel. I walked into the church and listened with tears in my eyes because the music and singing was so moving. There's so much wonderful music out there. I wouldn't want to miss any.
