5 songs you can't live without

[Furrytum]

Pretty self-explanatory, just list five songs you can't live without. For me (in no particular order) they are:
Submission by Fields of The Nephilim.
Digital Bath by Deftones.
Welcome Home (Sanitarium) by Metallica.
Attica by Linea Aspera.
Estranged by Guns n Roses.

Anything by Rush. Pick 5 songs, I can't live without 'em. #NeilPeartRIP

There's a song on that list I never thought I'd see mentioned on this site! Through the webs we have weaved...

Given the first four tracks on Elizium are one song, can I claim the whole album as five songs?

Go on then...just this once

My choices are going to date me as the old fart I am, but here goes what immediately comes to mind:

Hush Hush - Siegel Schwall Band

Edited - removed meandering harmonica intro so we can get to the good stuff. I do not own the copyright, blah blah yada.

I guess a lot of mine are little themed. Swear it's a coincidence

Only five? That's hard. If I constrain me to the ones I really can't live without, this will be a strange mixture, omitting lots of more characteristic examples of my taste which constitute the majority of my playlist but are more interchangeable. These 5 are special for me in certain ways that can't be matched by others.

Simon & Garfunkel's Bridge Over Troubled Water. Yes, it's overly sweet, but a masterpiece of arrangement.

Paul Simon's Late in the Evening in the 1992 live version with Stuff. Love it or not, but they definitely do enjoy it. RIP Richard Tee.

Marillion's Blind Curve. In my opinion, the most representative example of the Fish era.

Pink Floyd's Comfortably Numb in the DSOT version. Gilmour stratocasting spells.

Arena's Opera Fanatica. My NeoProg favourite.

A snippet of Late In the Evening is my ringtone.

Who can't live without This is the Way?

This is the way I get out of bed,
Get out of bed, get out of bed,
This is the way I get out of bed,
On a cold and frosty morning.

This is the way I dress myself,
Dress myself, dress myself,
This is the way I dress myself,
On a cold and frosty morning.

And so on...

And let's not forget Old MacDonald. It's incredibly versatile and lends itself to any musical style. I'll bet that down on the farm, they sing that that song, sing that song, sing that song, down on the farm they sing that song, all day long.
Can't think of any more, at the moment, and my bus is here; oh, look at those wheels, going round and round....

This is the way I say goodbye, say goodbye, say goodbye, this is the way I say goodbye, on a mild, relaxing evening.
