Smells Like Teen Spirit, Nirvana
Personality Crisis, New York Dolls
What's Going On? Marvin Gaye
Little Wing, Derek & The Dominos version
Memory Motel, Rolling Stones
Country Comfort, Rod Stewart
Thank You, Led Zeppelin
Let It Be, the Beatles
The Weight, The Band
Baba O'Reilly, The Who
From a Whisper to a Scream, Elvis Costello
Riders on the Storm, The Doors
All Along the Watchtower, Bob Dylan
Wouldn't It Be Nice, Beach Boys
Hold On, Ian Gomm
Lightning Crashes, Live
I Saw the Light, Todd Rundgren
Let's Stay Together, Al Green
I Think We're Alone Now, Tommy James
Down to Zero, Joan Armatrading
Who'll Stop the Rain, Creedence Clearwater Revival
I Don't Want to Go Home, Southside Johnny & the Asbury Jukes
I'm So Anxious, Southside Johnny & the Asbury Jukes
Prove It All Night, Bruce Springsteen
Darkness on the Edge of Town, Bruce Springsteen
Local Girls, Graham Parker
Not very original, I know. But them's my favorites.
Update: Hmm...how did no Van Morrison make the list? Probably because Brown-Eyed Girl is severely overplayed.
I once heard someone say that your favorite songs are what you listened to when you were 19. Pretty close for me ...
UPDATE 2: I added one more. So there's 26.

Very slow progress on the deadlines. What the hell is wrong with me?
Patience
If you believe the fundamental underlying theme of human history is irony, then you'll agree we need to wait and see how things turn out when it comes to these brutal murders in Jersey City.
Did a Muslim do it, and thus commit the unpardonable sin in America*?
Or is this one of history's tricks where this time the seeming guilty are innocent but are punished?
Fortunately, we Americans are very good at waiting for the facts to come in.
* The unpardonable sin is bringing your ancient ethnic hatreds here.

Much to do. Not much time to do it.
