Songs you shouldn't live without hearing

While it's not the standard blog post here, nothing really end of the world like, it's something that just popped into my head today. Songs you shouldn't go without hearing.

They're not in any particular order, and I might even update the list at a later date, but for now there's these songs:

• Neil Diamond - Solitary Man
  
• Johnny Cash - I walk the line
  
• Johnny Cash - Ring of Fire
  
• The Mamas and the Papas - I Saw Her Again
  
• The Mamas & The Papas - Monday Monday
  
• The Mamas And Papas - California Dreamin
  
• Ventures - Pipeline
  
• The Beatles - Nowhere man
  
• The Beatles - Yesterday
  
• Three Dog Night - One
  
• Paul McCartney and Stevie Wonder - Ebony and Ivory
  
• Roxette - Listen to your heart (or by DHT)
  
• Sarah McLachlan - Hold On
  
• Sarah McLachlan - Possession
  
• Sarah McLachlan - Dirty Little Secret
  
• Simon and Garfunkel - Bookends
  
• Simon and Garfunkel - Scarborough Fair
  
• Simon and Garfunkel - Slip Slidin' Away
  
• Simon and Garfunkel - Hazy Shade Of Winter
  
• Simon and Garfunkel - Bridge over Troubled Water
  
• Avril Lavigne - I'm with you
  

Why these songs? Well for one, they speak to you. It's something that doesn't always happen these days. They just draw you in and hypnotize you. It's just something about them (some more than others) that makes it hard to turn away. Others move you emotionally, but you don't always know why. Some are just beautiful in themselves. And yes, most are older (60s and newer). And don' t get me wrong, there's hundreds of good songs produced these days; and even more that make me wonder how they pass as music. But these in the list are ones that you've probably heard, if even in some movie, but they're good enough to listen to by themselves -- if even on YouTube.
