For such an eclectic composer one could make such a bunch of different lists of "best songs" from him that would fit for any taste.

Like an Arrow in a clear lead so far, quite surprising to be honest. Good song though. ------------- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BpOoJ0OTLg0&t" rel="nofollow - Click here to see a mind-blowing Flashlight |

| Voted for just songs I like which are mostly the obvious ones plus Wind ,Sand and Stars and Rebecca. Surprised though that some tracks like Clocks are struggling and also why don't people like The Air Conditioned Nightmare??! |

The whole Voyage of the Acolyte is excellent....beyond that I have mixed feelings about most of his songs. ------------- One does nothing yet nothing is left undone. Haquin |

A bunch of others too, but I accidentally closed the window. Hope it took my votes. I wasn't sure if I was supposed to log in or anything. |

I think some lists allow you to rank when logged out but some don't. ------------- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BpOoJ0OTLg0&t" rel="nofollow - Click here to see a mind-blowing Flashlight |

To be honest, no surprise for me with regards to the 'Best Songs' list, I already knew I am the only one here who have especial love for the Hackett's classical albums and have them as favourites, especially A Midsummer Night's Dream and Metamorpheus. The latter got a definitive place number 12 in the 'Best Albums' list, but this though might be surprising only here. ------------- "Music is a higher revelation than all wisdom and philosophy."

| ^ the one he did with his brother John is also excellent ( Sketches Of Satie) . Do you have that one Rick? |

Probably 'cause it comes from de facto a bullsh*t album with a jacket a la Love Beach ?

No, unfortunately I don't have it, right on it's very beautiful. I sometimes listened to it on Youtube and UOL, my faves really are Gymnopedie No 1, 2 and 3, and Pieces Froides No.1 (Danse de travers II). Erik Satie was a great composer indeed, I'd like to listen to the recordings of these compositions played by him on piano, they must be indeed stunning. He was one of the main precursors (if not the main precursor) of minimalism, and afterwards serialism, both developed and oftenly found in the modern and contemporanean classical music. But to be honest I'm not such a fan of this music specifically, it can't have a great appeal on me unfortunately, perhaps the reason why I don't put Sketches Of Satie in the same league as A Midsummer Night's Dream and Metamorpheus. ------------- "Music is a higher revelation than all wisdom and philosophy."
