I agree with most of the above and have the majority on CD....

A few more I would include:

Guns'n'Roses - November Rain.
Guns'n'Roses - Don't Cry.
Guns'n'Roses - Estranged.
Guns'n'Roses - Patience.
Bon Jovi - I'll be There For You.
Travis - Writing To Reach You.
Travis - Driftwood.

I know there aren't ten there, but my CD collection is still en route from the UK so I can't retrieve tracks and artists.
As for a top ten, it would more likely be a top 40 on a double CD.

It's called N.F.B. (Dallabnikufesin), from their Attack of the Killer B's album (it's on my list).
Just a moving sone until you get to the end
