This is not my ultimate list; I would have to put a lot of time and thought into that. But here is what I can think of at this moment in time. All beautiful songs with very poignant and memorable lyrics.
REO Speedwagon - Can't Fight This Feeling
The Waterboys - The Whole of the Moon - just beautiful. Like a poem.
Dire Straits - Romeo and Juliet
Fleetwood Mac - Songbird (I love Christine McVie! She is my inspiration for becoming a better pianist); Sara
Pretty much anything written by Nanci Griffith, or by Ricky Ross of Deacon Blue (two very different people but both extremely gifted songwriters in my opinion. You'll be hearing a lot about them in this blog!)
I like to think that I enjoy a wide range of musical styles, from country to pop to soft rock. I also like both current tunes and music from the past.
I have spent most of my life with a song stuck in my head, and I don't think that is likely to change! Music is a deep passion for me.
I'll sign off for now, but I'll be back with more music and groups and artists and songs and lyrics!
Until then,
Liz
