What are your top five favourite songs ever?

If you could only listen to five songs for the rest of your life, what would they be?

An easy question with a difficult answer. Because you have to imagine that you will never hear another piece of music other then your five songs for as long as you live.

Now, this is not a thread where you just want to throw up the top five songs that are playing on the radio right now and this is not a mud flinging contest where it turns into a "my songs are better than yours!" type of thread. No, they should be songs that immediately take you back to the best memories of your life, songs that helped you through a hard time or songs that, after all these years, you still love listening to.

If you (can ever) narrow it down to five, explain why you picked those songs as well.

For me, it has taken a long time pondering this, so you might want to think it over for a while yourself. Anyway, my five favourite songs that I could never go without are (in no exact order):

Talk - Coldplay Reminds me of my brother.
509 - Hans Zimmer The most emotional song I have ever heard.
I Ran - A Flock of Seagulls The best driving song and it just brings back really good memories.
My Father's eyes - Eric Clapton Another song with great memories and reminds me of my relationship with dad.
Suite for Solo Cello No. 1 in G Major - Yo-Yo Ma It's such a peaceful and relaxing song and I love the sound of cello music. I could just close my eyes listening to this and all my stress is gone.

1. The Pretender By Foo Fighters: Just a perfect song imo
2. Lose Yourself By Eminem: A perfect rap song, first rap song I liked.
3. Hero of War By Rise Against: Bueatiful song, depicts war well.
4. Living on a Prayer By Bon Jovi: So many memories with this one
5. NY NY by B.o.b. Took me like 2 months to find this song, its only 2 minutes and leaves me craving more.

Bleed it Out-Linkin Park
It should be a little depressing, but brings back great memories for me.

100 Years-Five for fighting
This song is so beautiful. It makes me want to cry and laugh at the same time.

1000 miles-Vanessa Carlton
beautiful song, beautiful memories of some family that I used to be really close to, and havn't seen properly for 5 years. I miss them.

Raise your glass-P!nk
Amazing song, means alot to me.

The White one is evil-Elliot Minor
(The title has been changed due to racist impliocations, but I can't remember what to as this is the version I have)
Yet again, great memeories of times I miss.

Starry Eyed Surprise - Paul Oakenfold A song that just reminds me of being younger, as my parents used to play it a lot

Little Fluffy Clouds - The Orb One of my current favourite songs

Sun Is Shining - Bob Marley VS. Funkstar De Lux Just a really good remix

Just Don't Give a Fuck - Eminem Lyrical Genius

Dumb (1991 Radio Appearence) - Nirvana Best version of an absolutely amazing song.

5.)Lose Yourself - Eminem
A testament to willpower and drive and well written to boot
4.)Fuck You - CeeLo Green
Awesome Writing + Awesome Melody = CATCHY song
3.)Take a Chance on Me - ABBA
Call it a guilty pleasure but this song just makes me happy. I think it's the catchy hook in the background.
2.)Don't Stop Me Now - Queen
Queen is the greatest band in the history of forever. This is just their best song.
1.)Faithfully - Journey
If you want to put me in a good mood and restore my faith in humanity, this song's beauty and calm flow does it every time. Nothing Better
