1. The slow movement of Beethoven’s Hamerklavier sonata. I have it on a loop. 2. Visions of Johanna, Bob Dylan. Perhaps his finest moment, ever. ---

“Wedding Bell Blues,” by the Fifth Dimension. Nyro’s original version is excellent, too, but I’ve always had a crush on Marilyn McCoo. ---

Lots, and I mean LOTS of songs fall in this category, although often influenced by mood. A few that I’ll stop and listen to under almost any circumstances (and frequently play for myself) With a Little Help from my Friends - Joe Cocker version Sound of Silence - Disturbed Version Red Rain - Peter Gabriel San Jacinto - Peter Gabriel A Matter of Trust - Billy Joel Trapped - Bruce Springsteen Let the Day Begin - The Call Wild Eyed Boy from Freecloud - David Bowie Hallelujah - John Cale Version Higher Window - Josh Groban Island of Souls - Sting I Guess That’s Why They Call it The Blues - Elton John The Silence - Manchester Orchestra That’s from a quick review of my music library with 5 star and most repeated songs. But I could probably add another dozen with a little thought. ---

I do it all the time. Recent songs that I have played many times in a row: _Tilted_ - Christine and the Queens _Le vent nous portera_ - Sophie Hunger _Wait For The Summer_ - Yeasayer _I Lied_ - Lord Huron The track that got the most consecutive plays ever was _Paperback Writer_. On acquiring the single I played it endlessly for hours. Later it turned out that I much preferred the B-side - _Rain_. ---
