What are your top ten all time favorite songs? (What does Rolling Stone Know?)

[snoopy]

The above mention of Sting's Fields of Gold makes me think of Eva Cassidy's cover of that song, one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard. That and her cover of Over The Rainbow should be added to my today's list, which very well may change again tomorrow.
