well, I'm not sure I should post here, because very little 'moved' me between puberty and parenthood. I just did not like much of the pop music between 1951 and 1959....you wanta know what really knocked my socks off in that era?

Johnny Standley (It's in the Book!) and a live concert by Mahalia Jackson!...and a record of trumpet solos by Raphael Mendez and his sons. What a mix, huh?

then after discovering folk music in about 1962, it all changed.

So...the last 15 years, I have heard so much that it is hard to pick. I tend to be moved by the 'big' ballads and such...but the top several songs that really got me were perhaps a couple of Eric Bogle anti-war songs and a couple or moving things by Craig Johnson...(see the threads on Craig)...(sitting here realizing I could pick 70-80...but NOT 10...)
