Don't Think Twice, It's Alright - Bob Dylan / Peter, Paul & Mary
Take Me Home Country Roads - John Denver Dust In The Wind - Kansas Not necessarily part of the "ten best", just the first three that popped into my mind. |

Boy it's really hard to pick the 10 "best". I would suppose it would really depend on what styles you like. Some of my favorites are:
Leader of the Band (Fogelberg) Time in a Bottle (Croce) Danny's Song (Loggins and Messina) Something in the Way She Moves (JT) Classical Gas (Mason Williams) Anywhere's a Better Place To Be (Chapin) Father and Son (Cat Stevens) More Than Words (Extreme) Landslide (Fleetwood Mac) Helplessly Hoping (CSNY) Is that 10 already? I do also LOVE Dust in the Wind. that was the first finger picking song I ever learned. I'm currently enjoying dabbling in a little Slack Key guitar (Hawaiian style!) and would love to learn some Ragtime on guitar.

Gotta agree with Dust in the Wind, what a wonderful song out of such simple fingerpicking.
As well: Teach your Children / CSNY As Tears Go By / Rolling Stones Brown Eyed Girl / Van Morrison Tangled up in Blue / Dylan All Along The Watchtower / Dylan Derek

Well, Classical gas has gotta be one of my favorites, but I'm still working on the finger picking thing. Lately, I've realized just how much more enjoyable finger picking is, and I'm working my way through Phil Keaggy's "County Down." I'd love to eventually learn Jazz in the Box...
