All of "Joseph and the Technicolor Dreamcoat."

Anything Billy Joel, especially his older things, particularly "Scenes from an Italian Restaurant." But also "Lullaby".

"Galileo" by the Indigo Girls.

"Birdhouse in Your Soul", by They Might be Giants

"Don't Cry", by Guns N Roses.

I didn't do country growing up, but a few years ago heard, "Live Like You Were Dying" by Tim McGraw.

You can totally tell how old most people who are posting here are.

ETA: "Time After Time", Cyndi Lauper

Did you know scene from an Italian restaurant started out as the ballad of Brenda and Eddie. It was just the middle part. And the other part was a different song also

Cool. What I love most about it are the transitions between sections and how it all pulls together. (I actually like November Rain by Guns N Roses for similar reasons.) I do know that he has said it's his favorite song.

Why be embarrassed? David Draimon is truly a world-class vocalist. He transformed the song.

Even Paul Simon approves:

I also love Leaving on a Jet Plane. Did you know that John Denver actually died in a plane crash ?

I also think Julie Andrews is super talented, so I love the soundtrack from The Sound of Music and Mary Poppins.

I did know about John Denver. He is my husband's all time favorite.

Anything ever performed by Queen ( especially live, I still get chills remembering the two concerts I attended)
Back in Black and You shook me all night long by AC/DC ( I know, I know , every single AC/DC song is basically the same rock song, but it’s the best darn rock song ever written)
Paradise city, sweet child of mine, November rain by Guns n Roses
Comfortably numb, The great gig in the sky, wish you were here by Pink Floyd
Rocket Man, Goodbye yellow brick road by Elton John
But there are so many many more
