1. Thela hun Ginjeet (King Crimson) – Learned of this band in college and they quickly became one of my favorites. This song has it all: the musicianship, the energy, the passion, and the irreverence.

2. Ticket to Ride (Beatles) – Quite simply the Beatles were a huge influence on my love of music and my early life. This song may not be my ultimate favorite of theirs, but is a great example of their musical brilliance.

3. Take the “A” Train (Duke Ellington) – An early favorite from high school that helped develop my interest in Jazz and contemporary big band music, leading me toward music college

4. Tourdion (Tourdion) – A great early dance tune. Not to mention that life would be very different if I never would have heard it.

5. Take Five (Dave Brubeck) – Another defining tune in my musical development, and my love of Jazz. Odd time signatures rule.

6. Turn, Turn, Turn (Byrds) – Another classic, and another song that helped define my love of 60’s rock, and folk music.

7. Teenage Wasteland (The Who) – An anthem for those of us who just happened to grow up in the 70’s

8. Teddy Bear (Elvis Presley) – This was in a collection of 45’s that was given to me by my cousin when I was a kid. The diversity in that collection was amazing, and I ate it up—I still have some of the 45s.

9. Time of the Season (The Zombies) – That wonderfully mysterious sound and groove, and one of my favorite bands of all time. They were way under-rated.
