Changes all the time depending on mood but at the moment the ones that would always get me to stop what I was doing and listen are:-

Seems to Be - Shop Assistants
All Together Now - the Farm
Geraldine - Glasvegas
No Room for You - Demob
Delete the Kisses - Wolf Alice
Common People - Pulp

A mellow mood list would have 6 different all time favourites on it.
 
I love my nagging wife -wonk unit
Police officer - smiley culture
Amsterdam - Eva Lazarus
USA - the exploited
Suburban rebels - the business
Being stupid again - pil
 
Diamonds and rust - Joan Baez
Hotel Room - Edgar Broughton Band
Processions - Family
Without you - Nilsson
I'm still waiting - Diana Ross
Reflections - Marmalade

I might change one or two of these, but all of them would be in my top 20.
 
I Feel Fine - The Beatles. Banger, which was the first song to use feedback, but didn’t even make it on to a Beatles album because Ringo didn’t like it.

Common People - Pulp. A song which defines an entire generation of people. The rich trying to doss it, while the working class try and live above their station.

Disco 2000 - Pulp. Great story about some tragic loser who devotes his life to a woman called Deborah, who isn’t into him, we all know someone like this. Although what really makes it for me is. the increasing amount of sadness and venom in Cocker’s voice as he laments her developing airs and graces. Which is both a great bit of social commentary and general brilliance on his part.

Octopus’ Garden - The Beatles I just enjoy this because of Lennon taking the piss out of Ringo with the backing vocals, while George is the only one to have some sympathy for him, delivering an intro and solo which is amongst the best in The Beatles catalogue; even if the song itself overall, really isn’t.

The Mercy Seat - Nick Cave. I’d rank it as the best song all of time. The increasing frustration, desperation and finally acceptable in the lyrics and the vocal is just brilliant.

She Smiled Sweetly - Rolling Stones. Reminds me of some pretty dark times, when the pain and suffering are almost unbearable, but then a woman smiles at you, and your troubles are suddenly gone. At least for a few minutes.
 
modern times-new model army.
simple man-lynyrd skynyrd.
rocking in the free world-neil young.
drink down the moon-steeleye span.
bad penny-rory gallagher.
tooting bec wreck-hanoi rocks.

all subject to change.
 
I could pick 6 different Beatles songs at any given time.
I’ll give it a go though.
In My Life-The Beatles
Brown Sugar-Rolling Stones
Won’t Get Fooled Again-The Who
The Whole of the Moon-The Waterboys
The Sound of Silence-Simon and Garfunkel
Money-Pink Floyd
That’s the way I feel waking up today tomorrow it could be any other 6.

Whilst it BBC wouldn’t make top 6.
Step into my world is an absolute classic and should go down as one of the greats from that era.
