Busdriver - Imaginary Places. Legend says he hit the A&P right before stepping in the booth.
Björk - It's Not Up To You. This one was so spot-on that I had to check if she had a practice.
Sparks - Nothing Is As Good As They Say It Is. For when you can't unsee that dukkha. 
Art Garfunkel - Waters of March. Garfunkel's pointing out instructions. The sacred and the propane.

I find that some of these songs can induce piti:
​​​​​​​
George Harrison - My Sweet Lord
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SP9wms6oEMo

Pete Seeger - Turn, Turn, Turn
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ImZnbqYYRpU

Jackie DeShannon - Put A Little Love in Your Heart
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CMj7UcjPZ0U

The Youngbloods - Get Together
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7xGxQXmu7Os

Louis Armstrong - When The Saints Go Marching In
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wyLjbMBpGDA

Sara Groves - The Word
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AznJ_WgzPmM

The next song seems to have been erased from the internet. I have it on a CD titled "Praise Songs" performed by The Celebration Gospel Band, written by Dean Krippaehne. 

Dean Krippaehne - Take me to the River
Lyrics:
Take me to the river
The river of joy
Walk me in the water
The water of love
...
Since at one time this song was popular and has now been disappeared, I assume the owner has chosen to enforce his copyright so I am not including the full lyrics.

I do not agree with all of Christian theology, but I believe they have the best music.

Rock on meditators!

For the dukkha, anicca, and anatta, Bitter Sweet Symphony by The Verve is my anthem, particularly the truth of being a million different people
from one day to the next.

here's one of mine. Written just before the calamity. 

Very nice.

I make music too but nothing really related to dharma.

Wow, sounds great. You have a really good voice!

Here's a couple of mine:

this one's kinda about the EQ fluttery/hypnogogic dreamy state: https://shorturl.at/tBMN9

And another one, 'Pathways': https://tinyurl.com/2zbxf2su

Really nice. I really like them both. Great songwriting and right up my alley, although I've got a pretty wide alley.

See PM!

I haven been both a folk singer and a hip hop producer in my time. I've been working on learning to compose for strings to make something more spiritual but these days mostly I'm just making nasty drum and bass.

Dear Prudence. For deconstructing perfectionism and guilt (operating under the guise of prudence), "open[ing] up your eyes," "look[ing] around," and realizing that "you are part of everything." The Beatles actually wrote it while with Maharishi Mahesh Yogi.

Sadhu - by Daniel Ingram it seems to be related to the path somehow .

A while back I made a cover of "At The Heart Of It All" by Aphex Twin, which i've loved for a long time. Always wanted it to be a little more orchestral, so I gave it a whirl. It's somewhat A&P'ish as I deliberately tried to give the feeling of a heartbeat building and then fading. Links to a google drive file:
