My favourite songs are not so easy to pick, and it's difficult to remember what I really truly love when I'm in the process of going through lots of phases. Some that might be in there are:

Billy Bragg - The Home Front
Sepultura - Refuse/Resist
Bjõrk - Yoga (string and vocal mix)
Pachebel - Cannon in D
Eminem and Royce Da 5' 9" - Renegades
Counting Crows - Anna Begins
Portishead - Roads

Well, that's seven, but this is the internet, and I can do what I like ;)

Refuse/Resist is great and another one I would love to play live. Come the revolution that will be our anthem. I had to stop myself singing during all the G8 stuff here. I don't think the thousands of police would have taken kindly to it.

My Dying Bride do one of the best covers of Roads by Portishead. It's on a 10 year anniversary Peaceville compilation. Pure class!

Mine change a lot. In fact off the top of my head I cant remember.

Not sure if they are without a doubt my top ten but they are pretty far up there

Dark star - Radiohead, there is just something about this song, some of the lyrics make my hair stand on end and I am not even sure why.

Sonic Youth - Diamond sea

tool - sober

Presidents of the USA - back porch ....Just a fun fun song

Massive attack - teardrop, the first massive attack song I ever heard, made my spine melt

Portishead - roads I love everything these guys have ever done but this really stands out, the chorus "How can this be so wrong" the way is sung is enchanting. " I got nobody on my side and surly that aint right " Pretty sure everyone has felt like that at some point

The Diamond Sea, full 21 minute version, listened to very loud on headphones is pretty hard to beat!

I have a copy of Roads being performed by Portishead and accompanied by (I think) the San Fransisco Symphony Orchestra. Stunning stuff.

oops prematurely hit send

REM - sweetness follows , I find a lot of REM songs really hopeful and uplifting that a lot of people find depressing. This one especially.

Vex Red - cant smile, Have no idea about anything of this band. my brother gave me there album on mp3 and this song stuck out.

Deus - Serpentine Was inrtoduced to this band recently and have fallen in love with them

Pink floyd - Learning to fly.

ok so perhaps not my top 10 but more of a snapshot of what I have been listening to recently.

will post these in my journal as well

I'm glad this is top 6 songs 'at the moment' otherwise this would be a near-impossible task ( ... )

just realised that is only 5. I would have hoped that after finishing a masters degree in physics, basic counting skils wuld no longer be a problem. Turns out I was wrong...

So, I'll add Mah Geetah by My Morning Jacket, because I'm listening to it now, and I'd forgotten how good it is.

I haven't heard most of those songs James, I assume they're all quiet Coldplay-esque numbers ;-)

At the moment my top 6 are
Belle & Sebastian - Is it Wicked no to to Care
Ballboy - There Are Only Inches Between Us But There Might As Well Be Mountains And Trees
Teenage Fanclub - Aint that Enough
Elliot Smith - Say Yes
Hotrod Cadets - Glory
Beach Boys - Good Vibrations
