'A Day in the Life' is my favorite Beatles song as well.
This is a fantastic list - Elton John, Manics, Beatles, "Bo Rhap", "Daydream Believer", "Oliver's Army".. great!
You really think so?! Must be a first (outside Elton circles); people are often quite dismissive of my musical taste and being an Elton fan, and i know i'm well off the pace, so this comes as a pleasant surprise.
I really do! Im quite an Elton fan myself, but you have many great choices aside from him as well. Other than the few I haven't heard, I like all of the songs listed here!
