Springsteen's "The River" because it was the first song that made me cry. It is a song that evokes a particular time in US history, but also speaks to universal themes. Also because it reminds me of my youth, only we all went to a reservoir instead of a river...

I have a question, Spaw. Will we be able to communicate with each other to be sure there aren't duplications? It would be depressing to venture out from the caves to find that everybody in the song circle I was in memorized "Ooops, I Did it Again", :-)or some other soon to be classic. But I don't want to have to out think the obscurity angle.
