No one has the last two exactly right, so I'll leave it running. I will say though that both songs have been posted. I will also say I much prefer Tony Bennett's version of What a Wodnerful World.

Lost Without You isn't a Dream Theater song, though it's mislabelled as such sometimes. It's a solo song by Dream Theater's guitarist John Petrucci.

Learning To Live is a great song, one of their epics, though I don't rate it as highly as some do. Pull Me Under is a good introduction to the band's style. Songs like Lifting Shadows Off A Dream, Another Day, Hollow Years, and I Walk Beside You are the types that would be most likely to appeal to U2 fans.

And if you think Learning To Live is a marathon, A Change Of Seasons is twice as long. And every single note is essential. That's why I say it should be #1. :drool:
 
As its Australia, I'll go for, the legendary Rolf Harris at no.2 with his classic cover of Stairway To Heaven, & no.1 Australia's finest actor, who proved he could turn his hand to anything when unleashing on the world this all time classic, "Don't It Make You Feel Good" the immensely, incredibly,unbelievably talented STEFAN DENNIS!
 
Congratulations partygirlvox and POP-ROMANCER on guessing the U2 song correctly.

#1 was Imagine, John Lennon
#2 was Stairway to Heaven, Led Zep

And thanks Axver, I'll look into them.
