Sounds great! I hope lots from Bare Trees and Mystery to Me qualify.

From awesome people. Okay, I wanted to make a sort of "best of" for my personal playlist then thought of the Christine songs poll you did and voila.

From Kiln House to Heroes Are Hard To Find there's really not (other than the two mentioned above) a track that I think is NOT "definitive".

And based on the songs lists posted, we really need a poll. I see some common ones, but there are so many different variations and so many great songs in there. Actually, my personal list is sort of close to yours, Chili. Just a few differences.

First of all, I like your list a lot, chiliD - and I like the way you've organized and sequenced the tracks.

Second, two additions that I'd toss in - a couple of relative rarities that I think are worthy of inclusion, "The Purple Dancer" and "Trinity".

Coincidentally, I have both those songs on my personal list.

And from the looks of it, I don't think 20 songs are enough (my list is a 2CD one myself). I should expand this to a double disc.
