Basic rules: 14 songs, all artists. Only music you could ever listen to for the rest of your life.
Mine:
1) I Saw Her Standing There
2) No Champagne Socialists – Arkells
3) Mushaboom – Feist
4) That's Amore – Dean Martin
5) American Pie – Don McLean
6) While My Guitar Gently Weeps
7) My Body Is A Cage – Arcade Fire
8) Jungleland – Brice Springsteen and The E-Street Band
9) In My Life
10) I Don't Know – Sheepdogs
11) 1 2 3 4 – Feist
12) A Rush of Blood To The Head – Coldplay
13) Where Have All The Good People Gone? – Sam Roberts
14) One For My Baby (And One More For the Road) – Frank Sinatra
And, the explantation (it makes everything so much clearer): #4,5,8 are family reminders that I couldn't forget. # 2,3,7,10,11, and 13 are all Canadian classics of the last 8 years, and well, the Beatles' songs were one of my personal favs of each of the songwriters. And, I couldn't think of a more fitting song then what I hear ever night at the end of my favourite music broadcast. Ol' Blue Eyes – take me away!

(Alphabetical)
Axis Bold as Love (Hendrix) [the guitar at the end makes it all worthwhile]
All Along the Watchtower (Hendrix version of Dylan song) [amazing rendition of what is otherwise, IMO, a so-so song]
Eleanor Rigby
Gimme Shelter (Rolling Stones)
I Want To Hold Your Hand [on a desert island, this will keep me in a good mood for days]
Light My Fire (Doors) [love that riff and the build-up at the end]
Lucy In the Sky [need to dream]
Message In a Bottle (Police) [a candidate for best lyrics ever + most appropriate for a desert island]
Monkberry Moon Delight (McCartney) [that riff, that scat singing at the end...]
Oliver's Army (Elvis Costello)
Penny Lane [love each and every one of those images, not to mention the soaring melody]
Saturday Night (Elton John) [gotta dance]
Summer of '69 (Brian Adams) [memory lane - I was just a kid, but summer of '69 - July: Moon Landing, August: Woodstock, September: Abbey Road ...]
Suzanne (Leonard Cohen) [on a desert island got to be deep in thought sometimes]
Honorable mention: Since I've Been Loving You (Led Zeppelin) [some of Page's best guitar], Bridge Over Troubled Waters (Simon and Garfunkel), When the Music's Over (Doors) [fabulous ending], We Used To Know (Jethro Tull), Hesitation Blues (Hot Tuna) [great acoustic guitar and bass], California Dreamin' (Mamas and Papas), Wicked Game (Chris Isaak), …..
