Favorite Five Songs By Your Favorite Artists

[Flyboy]

Simple topic. It's usually one I create and thought it would be interesting to post it here. The thing about this thread is that you have to post your personal favorite songs by your favorite artists/groups/bands -- sometimes "favorites" and "best" get tangled up in the mix.
