Can you name your 10 favourite songs ?

[Bill Walker]

Exactly the word I was going to use. If I'd done this when the thread was originally posted how much would it have changed since. Anyway, given that this is a constantly evolving thing here's ten that have stood the test of time with me... in no particular order

Lou Reed- Street Hassle
Blue Orchids- Work
Suede- Animal Nitrate
Aldous Harding- Stop Your tears
10cc- I'm not in love
The Smiths- How Soon is Now
King Crimson- Starless
Pink Floyd- Comfortably Numb
Love- A House is not a Motel
Buffalo Springfield- Nowadays Clancy Can't Even Sing

Thrown together then I realise there is no room for Genesis. Or Doll by Doll. Or van Morrison. And then I realise Beside You should definitely be in there. But for what?

Etc. Ask me again next week.

I'm very impressed you chose A House Is Not A Motel.
I struggled with Alone Again Or
Both from one of the greatest albums ever made.

I forgot about Starless.

Elvis Costello - Red Shoes
Undertones - Teenage Kicks
Peter Frampton - Baby I Love Your Way
Dolly Parton - Jolene
Creedence Clearwater Revival - Born On The Bayou
Gerry Rafferty - Down The Line
Tiffany - I Think We’re Alone Now
Kylie Minogue - Fragile
Jim Reeves - Little Ole Dime
Gordon Lightfoot - The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald
and about 150,000 other tracks……
IT’S IMPOSSIBLE TO DO……not even chosen a Northern Soul, Soul or Jazz track. Or “Scottish Soldier” by Andy Stewart.

Good idea for a thread/quiz Magic, what was No 1 in 1860 ?

(Maybe involved Keith Richards)

Nah mate he had died by then.

I couldn't do a top ten as it would have to span too many genres, from Tony Bennett to Sex Pistols, from Nat King Cole to The Foo Fighters. Just too many songs.

 

[Cellarite]

In no particular order and knowing that some would probably change tomorrow...

There Is A Light - The Smiths
Temptation - New Order
Nessun Dorma - Luciano Pavarotti
(Song For My) Sugar Spun Sister - Stone Roses
The Best of You - Foo Fighters
Slide Away - Oasis
Dirty Old Town - The Pogues
