"Summer Babe" - Pavement
"The Tallest Man, The Broadest Shoulders" - Sufjan Stevens
"Singapore" - Tom Waits

Top 5 of all time? Theres a crushingly impossible task. Baed on what merit? Playcount, bliss? recognition of amazingness?

I suppose that these 5 would definately be contenders for me:

Godspeed You! Black Emperor - East Hastings
Mike Oldfield - Amarok
Jean-Michel Jarre - Ethicolour 1
Pink Floyd - Echoes
Woob - On Earth

And yeah, the shortest track there is 11:47 long.

Us and Them-Pink Floyd
Cristofori's Dream-David Lanz
Tears In Heaven-Eric Clapton (I have an angel waiting for me too, my only child)
Scarborough Fair-Simon & Garfunkel
Let It Be-The Beatles

I remember back in college, I had copied LOVELESS on one side of a tape and SLANTED AND ENCHANTED on the other. Both were new and incredible albums that twisted my musical brain in ways it had never been twisted before. Life was good.
