Believe it or not, one of my favorite songs is 'La Marseillaise'. I'll watch Casablanca just to hear it. It is enough to get me off my ass and want to jump on a horse and yell, "Charge!"

What I always look for in just about any band or artists I sign is their songs.

Great music can come from anywhere around the globe. And there has always been a music business. It just wasn't recorded, nor was it centered in New York, London, Los Angeles or Nashville but rather St Petersburg, Vienna, Berlin, Milan and Paris.

Among the songs I love best were those that I see as historically important, which help to change and develop my taste.

It would be impossible for me to give you a list of the top 10 songs that shake my life. Far more music went in to it than just ten.

Bach, Mozart, Beethoven, Tchaikovsky were not classical musicians while they were alive and active, they were the rock stars of their day.
