No. 9: Keeper of the Flame
Great track from 2005's "Analogue," and an opportunity missed. They should have released this as a single with a video featuring rock 'n' roll's greatest performers, from Chuck Berry to Nirvana.

No. 10: Slender Frame
"I don't believe it
I believe it..."
Starting the Top 10 with this great song from my favorite a-ha album, "East of the Sun, West of the Moon." Hard to believe this was not a single.

No. 9: Your Song, Elton John
Released in 1970, the Guardian ranks this fourth in their list of Rocket Man songs (Billboard has it second). I also like the "Moulin Rouge!" version by Ewan McGregor and Allesandro Safina.
