Listed in order of preference by:
Interpreter - Song Title, and in brackets (date of release/production and running time).

I'll try to list everything I love, from classical pieces, to popular songs, to experimental music, etc.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask.

There are some great picks on your list. I can't help but notice that most of those pieces are fairly contemporary.

I would recommend you check out "The Velvet Underground & Nico", "In the Court of The Crimson King" by King Crimson, and "Spirit of Eden" by Talk Talk.

With the exception of "Spirit of Eden", the above albums are very legendary, so I'm certain you've at least heard bits and pieces of them at some point.

Hey, nice to see a reply :-)

I've just started to list some music, and If i ever get it finished I think it will by farr exceed the 1000 number.

I love In the Court of the Crimson King, and am currently enjoying King Crimson's "Lark Tongues in Aspic". Haven't listened to the other two albums yet, though I've read about them.
