Of all time? Or currently? Right now I am almost exclusively hip hop and dubstep, but I once was a country music fan.

The Trapeze Swinger by Iron & Wine as performed by Gregory Alan Isakov
...
Predatory Wasp of the Palisades by Sufjan Stevens

^These two (either Trapeze Swinger version), with the latter among the top few if I was ranking them. My other 8...in keeping with the "limit of 1 per artist" rule (otherwise we'd get a few more Sufjan and Grizzly Bear at least)...hmm...

Reckoner by Radiohead
Kashmir by Led Zeppelin
Wouldn't It Be Nice by The Beach Boys
I Can Smell The Leaves by The Olivia Tremor Control
Grown Ocean by Fleet Foxes
Angeles by Elliott Smith
Strange Mercy by St Vincent
Fine For Now by Grizzly Bear

Probably missed a few obvious ones, opting for ones I've listened to more in the last couple of months. Oh well. Not like I'll be forced to only listen to only these 10 songs for the rest of my life or anything. Tongue

Limiting it to one song per artist? Something like this would be decent, although I guarantee if you ask me on a different day I'd probably come up with a completely different list.

Exit Music (For A Film) - Radiohead
A Day in the Life - The Beatles
The Fox in the Snow - Belle and Sebastian
Brain Damage/Eclipse - Pink Floyd
Common People - Pulp
Ready or Not - The Fugees
Heroes - David Bowie
Helplessness Blues - Fleet Foxes
Soon - My Bloody Valentine
Cloudbusting - Kate Bush

some honourable mention (although I would be happy to include any of them in the top ten.)

Freak Like Me - Adina Howard
Holland 1945 - Neutral Milk Hotel
i - Kendrick Lamar
Buddy Holly - Weezer
Yoshimi Battles The Pink Robots - The Flaming Lips
Trilogy - Sonic Youth
Spiderwebs - No Doubt
Bizarre Love Triangle - New Order
Stronger - Kanye West
The Winner Takes it All - ABBA
B.O.B. - Outkast
No One Knows - Queens of the Stone Age
Hello - The Beloved
Don't You Want Me - The Human League
My Girls - Animal Collective
Flash Delirium - MGMT
Sex Changes - The Dresden Dolls
Nightswimming - REM
Going Underground - The Jam

that should be enough

10 that I am particularly fond of at the moment

Spoon - The Underdog
Enter Shikari - The Anaesthetist
Bloc Party - Helicopter
