This may be cheating (or at least, piling on), but this morning I woke up with Jeff Beck in my head, and thought I'd share this classic soulful solo ... one of my all time favorite instrumentals ever to hit the airwaves.

I will always remember when, as a little kid, I heard 'Spirit in the Sky' by Norman Greenbaum for the first time ... I still hear it in my dreams--a permanent ear worm.

Yes this is good. A tad ironic for this site though! Maybe it's god telling you you are forgiven!

@smoyle A song from my days as a Christian, to be sure ... still love the guitar riffs, though.

Four-way tie: Sargeant Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band (The Beatles), Hotel California (The Eagles), Layla (Derek and the Dominoes), Message in a Bottle (The Police). All three would be the intro, while Layla would also include the instrumental second half.
