1. Sail To The Moon - Radiohead
(Thom Yorke-Jonny Greenwood-Ed O'Brien-Colin Greenwood-Phil Selway)
Hail To The Thief (2003) was a product of the effort to build a Radiohead album based on the use of computers less than the previous two ( Kid A (2000), Amnesiac (2001)). Thus, it leaded to more extended use of piano, as here in this very atmospheric track that sounds like an evolution of the older Pyramid Song.
2. Pink Moon - Nick Drake
(Nick Drake)
The self titled album of Nick Drake released in 1971 and did not receive special attention at the time. After his death in 1974, however, it took the place it deserved and is considered by many to be the best work by the British musician. Pink Moon, like all other tracks of the album is played sparingly, with an acoustic guitar and a piano passage, but it's really beautiful ...
3. The Moon - Cat Power
(Chan Marshall)
The Greatest was the seventh album by Cat Power, but only the first with exclusively her own content. It was also one of the best albums of 2006 and what brought her to limelight for good. This song is a slow ballad with languid guitars and the especially captivating vocals by Marshall.
4. How High The Moon - Ella Fitzgerald
(Morgan Lewis-Nancy Hamilton)
This classic song was firstly played on Broadway in 1940 and is one of the most characteristic of great Ella Fitzgerald's repertoire, who recorded it under several editions. Here you can listen to one of the best scat singings, at which she excelled. 
5. Blue Moon - Elvis Presley
(Richard Rodgers-Lorenz Hart)
This one has been composed in an even earlier year, 1934, and is also classic and repeatedly recorded. Here we listen to an edition by the King Elvis Presley, from his debut in 1956.
6. Bad Moon Rising - Creedence Clearwater Revival
(John Fogerty)
Pumping up the rhythm a bit, we move to the first single from the CCR album Green River in 1969, which reacjed # 2 in the U.S. charts and the top of the British. It has been covered several times and the famous album by Sonic Youth was named after it.
7. The Killing Moon - Echo & The Bunnymen
(Will Sergeant-Ian McCulloch-Les Pattinson-Pete de Freitas)
One morning, Ian McCulloch woke up with the words "fate up against your will" in his mind. The Killing Moon, one of the most famous and successful songs (# 9 in Britain) of the band from Liverpool was based on it. This track has been used many times in films and 
8. Here Comes The Moon - George Harrison
(George Harrison)
In 1979, George Harrison released an album entitled after him, which has received positive reviews after several years of medium results. Here Comes The Moon was written in Hawaii and is an informal sequel to Here Comes The Sun. Although this is clearly a good sample of the melodic style of Harrison, it fails to surpass its predecessor ...
9. Tides Of The Moon - Mercury Rev
(Jonathan Donahue-Sean "Grasshopper" Mackowiak-Jeff Mercel)
Following the huge artistic and commercial success Deserter's Songs (1998) the Mercury Rev moved on to All Is Dream of 2001, which is indeed a very good album, but doomed to fall behind compared with its predecessor. This is the really fascinating second part of the album. 
10. Of Moons, Birds & Monsters - MGMT
(Andrew Van Wyngarden-Ben Goldwasser)
The Oracular Spectacular , late 2007 to early 2008, highlighted the MGMT as new stars and made the music critics lose their sleep. These two crazy fellows from Brooklyn,along with Dave Fridmann behind the production mix a lot of influences, teaching how to compose catchy and yet essential songs.
