It's my turn to dig up some old stuff !!! :-]
A ten-songs list can never be perfect, complete, and should change all the time ! But I like the idea of thinking, for a little while, of the songs that have been deeply important, or that strongly "talked to me", in some special moments of my life.
But without order, or number.
10 is NOT enough, here are 15.
San Jacinto (maybe my number 1 or 2)
Family Snapshot (maybe my number 1)
Indigo
Washing of the Water
I Grieve
Signal to Noise
Father, Son
Humdrum
Here Comes the Flood
Games Without Frontiers
Wallflower
Only Us
A Different Drum
My Head Sounds Like This
Solsbury Hill
To be honest, I must add some other "key songs", if I dare to say, even if I don't listen to them anymore, or quite seldom (when you eat too much chocolate, you don't want to eat it anymore !):
- Sledgehammer (because it unlocked, for me, the door of Gabriel's world, that I didn't feel able to reach before)
- Biko (very important song, of course ; it remains something strong during concerts).

Thirty one years ago PG's music began it's profound influence on how I'd see this life. And I imagine that if his music has meant a lot to you, you probably at times feel different from most other people. You're likely someone that felt the need to do something about injustice and did it.
Something inspirational
1)Back in NYC
2}Supper's Ready
3)Down the Dolce Vita
4)Humdrum
5)Here Comes the Flood
6)On the Air
7)Through the Wire

Wallflower
9)We do What Were Told
10)Love to be Loved
