3. Will You Be There - Michael - (so raw in emotion and simply beautiful)
4. Under Pressure - Queen and Bowie - this song is so powerful, especially the end with the lyrics:
"It's the terror of knowing
What this world is about
Watching some good friends
Screaming let me out
Pray tomorrow - high higher
Turned away from it all like a blind man
Sat on a fence but it don't work
Keep coming up with love but it's so slashed
and torn
Why
Insanity laughs under pressure we're
cracking
Can't we give ourselves one more chance
Why can't we give love that one more
chance
Why can't we give love
Give love give love give love
Love's such an old fashioned word
And love dares you to care for
The people on the edge of the night
And love dares you to change our way of
Caring about ourselves
This is our last dance
This is ourselves
Under pressure"

I've posted the lyrics and you tube links to some so you can check them out if you want
4 others I were considering in slimming the list down to 10 were Bruce Springsteen's 'Dancing in the Dark', Michael's 'They Don't Care About Us' and 'Who Is It' and then Bowie's 'Sorrow'
