I also love Madrigal 

YAY!!!!

 

Ugh, I rarely mention Madrigal anymore because it really seem to turn a lot of fans off, but I adore it so.  To me it's the perfect breather before the chaos of Cygnus X-1.

People like to isolate songs, and forget to put them back into context. Sure, Madrigal is hardly a go to song for most fans. But you remove it from the album, and the listening experience will be deeply affected. 

 

But hey! I love Wish Them Well, Superconductor (unless attached to Xanadu...gggrrrrr), Speed Of Love and BU2B2

How about this? Three separate lists. Top ten from the 80s, 90s, and 2000s. Perhaps it's easier to break it down by decade?
