albinoni- you'd think he'd have written a lot more music as incredibly beautiful as the adagio. i have a vote for Spirit's haunting alblum- CLEAR, with the song by that name. is anyone here a randy california fan (guitarist in Spirit)?
4 of the best prog.rock alblums ever recorded. then there's ac jobim- black orpheus- timeless/exquisite/beautiful, etc....
another song popped into my head- the smother's brothers tv show, where they ended it with "day is done" by peter, paul and mary, and the entire audience joins in... the good ol' sixties y'know... get out the kleenex, quick!!
