This is going to take a bit of thought. I could name two right off the bat but I am not sure I can narrow the rest down to a list of ten. I'll get back to you...

Like Nick said, it could change, but think for sure it would always include most of the following, in no order-
1. 1952 Vincent Black Lightning
2. Cooksferry Queen
3. Wall Of Death
4. Shoot Out The Lights (any live version)
5. Tear Stained Letter
6. Walking On A Wire
7. A Heart Needs A Home
8. Valerie
9. Turning Of The Tide
10. Beeswing

Beeswing
Galway to Graceland
Persuasion
Cooksferry Queen
Wall Of Death
Shoot Out The Lights
All great selections that I had a hard time leaving off the list. I especially love the version of Cooksferry on Live in Austin TX. Ghosts in the Wind is another one - the solo version on the BBC box set is fantastic. Oh and MGB-GT of course. I suppose this does change day to day, depending on how one is feeling.  |

That was tough. For now I am going with (in no particular order)
Can’t Win
Al Bowlly’s In Heaven
Waltzing’s For Dreamers
The Poor Ditching Boy
The End Of The Rainbow
A Heart Needs A Home
Walking On A Wire
A Bone Through Her Nose
Mingus Eyes
Bathsheba Smiles
Honorable mentions for I Still Dream and Guns Are The Tongues which only just missed the list. And the Live At Crawley version of Ghosts In The Wind is a favourite recording.
I haven't lived with the two most recent albums for long enough to be objective yet but I suspect that If Love Whispers Your Name may work its way in at some point.
Edit: Damn! have just realised I forgot Hand Of Kindness!

When I get to the border
Bone through her nose
Demons in her dancing shoes
Speechless Child
Night comes in
Hokey Pokey
I feel so good
Hand of kindness
Fire in the engine room

Waltzing’s For Dreamers
That was the one I'd noticed was conspicuous by its absence 'till you mentioned it, Al. Can I take "all the above"? I'll need a bit of time for this. |

A Poisoned Heart And A Twisted Memory 8. Bathsheba Smiles 9. The Ghost Of You Walks 10. Diamonds In Her Dancing Shoes ...but with such a canon, ask me again in 20 minutes and I'd probably give you 10 different ones ! |

Thank God this isn't a community big on lists!
I'm with Jules, a day isn't long enough to distill it to 10.

1952 Vincent Black Lightning
The end of the rainbow
Waltzing's for dreamers
Cold kisses
I feel so good
Beeswing
Can't win
Cooksferry queen
Tear stained letter

Well I know the early stuff better than the recent stuff, so this may well change as I get more familiar with the newer songs, but for now:-
1. When I Get To The Border
2. 1952 Vincent Black Lightning
3. House Of Cards
4. Nobody's Wedding
5. We Sing Halllelujah
6. Streets Of Paradise
7. I Want To See The Bright Lights Tonight
8. Back Street Slide
9. Down Where The Drunkards Roll
10. Dimming Of The Day
Bubbling under: Wall Of Death; Painted Ladies; The Angels Took My Racehorse Away; Old Man Inside A Young Man; I'll Never Give It Up; Shoot Out The Lights; Beeswing; The Old Changing Way; MGB-GT; The Poor Ditching Boy.

So many to choose from but I started with those which I've attempted to play on the guitar (not including Beeswing!) and had to include a light-hearted one at the end. Just thinking of the Janet Jackson song makes me smile. I've added a cover too, with Friday On My Mind coming a close second.
1. I Want To See The Bright Lights Tonight
2. Al Bowlly's In Heaven
3. Can't Win
4. Don't Sit on my Jimmy Shands
5. Beeswing
6. Train Don't Leave
7. Gethsemane
8. Happy Days and Old Lang Syne
9. Saving The Good Stuff For You
10. Dear Janet Jackson
Bonus cover version: Blackleg Miner
