Top songs
 
I know when I'm down, there are certain songs that never fail to pick me up. What are your top ten, kick ass, feel good songs - the ones you play when you need to be reminded why you're alive? That it's OK just to close your eyes and let the music wash over you -- to feel your heart beat and wallow in sheer, not-a-bit-guilty pleasure in just being on this planet?
