Love Theme - Love Unlimited Orchestra
Apache - The Shadows
Green Onions - Booker T
Between The Walls - UFO
Albatross - Fleetwod Mac
Supertzar - Black Sabbath
Tubular Bells (Main Theme) - Mike Oldfield
Theme From A Sumer Place - Percy Faith Orchestra


Probably not the 'coolest' choice, but what about;

Moonlight Serenade - Glen Miller
Still a beautiful piece of popular music, 60 years after it was recorded.

Such a odd topic...hm, I'm a bit odd so they're gonna be songs that make me happy usually cause they remind me of child hood.
Galloping home (can not express how much I love that )
The French horned tune to the BBC chronicles of Narnia
Oh and the theme tune to the queens nose
Now you may laugh they're all tv themes! But! The guy who wrote galloping home got a award for it, which he recently got back from his ex wife
So it's not tosh music
