You may have gotten few responses to this because the answer is always
changing, I know I react differently to my favorite songs depending
on my mood, what I'm doing, etc. Really bad songs on the other hand
stay with you regardless and it is much easier to pick you current or
all time worst choice than your best.  Also as has been pointed out
it is rather daunting to think of all the followups saying "You like
that piece of trash..."

Be that as it may ( and admitting that I might say something different
another time) , right now I would probably pick "Flying Sorcery"
from Al Stewart's  _Year_of_the_Cat_ album . I think it is a brilliant
evocation of time and place with just the right touch of poignence (sp?) and
sense of loss. The album ,by the way, is always on my top 10 no matter
what my mood.

     3 airplanes on Malta at the start of WWII?
