Top 10 songs

The younger brother and I were talking about music the other day when we came onto the topic where we asked each to create a list of our top 10 songs of all time. Obviously we both set off in anticipation to easily write a list of ten songs but we both found ourselves struggling. So thought i'd bring it on here and see if you guys could create a list of your top ten favourite songs of all time.

You don't have to put them in specific order but post what you can come up with;

Needless to say, I am still struggling ..

1) when you were young - the killers
2) closer to the edge - 30 seconds to mars
3) carolina liar - im not over
4) boyce avenue - dare to believe
5) hurts - illuminated
6) foo fighters - best of you
7) new order - true faith
8) james Morrison - please don't stop the rain
9) plan b - writing's on the wall
10) snow patrol - signal fire

that's my list

Quite a mix of stuff there Nando but you seem to enjoy the acoustic stuff the most am I right in saying?

I have a top 6 sorted, but when I have my mind made up I scroll across an absolute tune on my iTunes

yeah i enjoy a good guitar

Mine are:

1) With or Without You - U2
2) This is The One - The Stone Roses
3) Don't Look Back Into The Sun - The Libertines
4) Mr Brightside - The Killers

7) Faster - Manic Street Preachers
8 ) Sometimes you can't make it on your own - U2
