I have many but the two things I have listened too most are Hergest Ridge and Ommadawn by Mike Oldfield. Those two pieces are therapy, peace and, in a way, a drug to me.

Some great music on here and eclectic tastes. Most seem to like many genres of music which is what I expected.
Although I only mentioned 2 in my original post I never meant people should be limited to 2, so it’s nice to see people list a few.
Started out with nothing. Still have most of it left.
Mariya Takeuchi - Plastic Love
Aphex Twin - "Z-Twig"
Aphex Twin - "Rhubarb"
New Order - Bizarre Love Triangle
Led Zeppelin - Achilles Last Stand

I’ve only started listening to Art of Noise this year. Love their take on the Robinson Crusoe tv series theme.
Only covers I know but I like listening to Toni and Reina.

I turned Jools Holland on last Friday just as this song came on, and I was pleased to see they uploaded this specific performance to YouTube on Monday. It’s from 2012, I’ve never heard of the guy before, but I think it’s remarkable and I’m very glad I turned over when I did.

Ahhh,those amphetamine days.
I'll add "Hug My Soul"- Saint Etienne. Beginning to end is brilliant song.
Love this version by Kimiko Kasai

I'm a creature of habit.
Most days, I listen to a Miles Davis & a Robert Johnson track, just whatever plays randomly when I open the folder. (I've probably done that for more than 15 years!)
The song that I've listened to most often that isn't RJ or MD? That'll be Jackson Browne's 'These Days'. He wrote it when he was 16, the talentless so-&-so. First recorded by Nico, it's a song that's been covered over 50 times. Gregg Allman & Glen Campbell are among the best versions, IMO.
Here's a list of versions for anyone who wants to investigate -
COVERS OF 'THESE DAYS'
______
Jim.
Stranglehold by Ted Nugent
Wu tang clan - gravel pit
Macklemore - thrift shop
Mark ronson/miley cyrus - nothing breaks like a heart
Blonde - Union city blue
Missy elliot - pass the Dutch
Goldfrapp - ooh la la
Arcade fire - everything now
Jazzy jeff and the fresh Prince - boom shake the room
Abba - Waterloo/dancing queen
The cranberries - dreams
Chemical brothers - hey boy hey girl
Fatboy slim - right here right now
Happy mondays - step on
Similar too Jeremy, and I've seen Ommadawn
performed live, which was amazing. Sally Oldfield was sat next to me too.
The Libera Me from Verdi's Requiem
Surf's Up by the Beach Boys, though tribute band the Fendertones more than do it justice.
Pivotal sound from the '70s
Radiohead Weird Fishes/Arpeggi (Scotch Mist)
https://youtu.be/FcANFVcJeOM
I would happily have this played at my funeral.
I don't know what planet Radiohead are from, but I'm glad they are visiting.
I listen to this at least once a week
Sade, Diamond life .
tool - lateralus , due to the complexity - the whole composition is based on the Fibonacci sequence.
David Bowie - Ziggy Stardust
Jackson Browne - The Load Out / Stay
Humble Pie - Honky Tonk Woman (You'll never listen to the Stones' version after this)
How could anyone enjoy listening to that over and over and never tire of it - I got bored waiting for it to start!

Breitling Cosmonaute 809 - What's not to like?
So many!! Where to start?!!
Will start with these.
Will start with these.
