One of my greatest musical memories was seeing(AND HEARING) Black Sabbath in 1969 just after Paranoid was released
I was lucky enough to live only 12 miles from the centre of London at the time so I got to see most bands that were worth seeing from 1967 - 1971
Too many to mention.

I also have a few classical CDs in my collection featuring 16th & 17th century church music to Copland
I also have a large collection cretan folk music

BW the reason I include Oasis in my line up is that when they played Knebworth I was one of the drivers that moved the stage for them. That was one of the best things I ever was involved in.I may tell the story one day when I can put all the pieces together

[Snadger]

1) Deep Purple - Smoke on the Water
2) Enya - Amarantine
3) Sachmo - Wonderful World
4) Beethoven's Ninth
5) Hawkwind - Silver Machine

Eclectic mix, but there we have it!

I've really had trouble deciding on this one, and am still not sure.

Schubert: Unfinished Symphony
Beatles: Here comes the sun
Beach Boys: Sloop John B (simply for the line: 'I feel so broke up, I want to go home' which might apply if I were stranded on a desert island)
Charles Trenet: La Mer
Piaf: complete works including Je ne regrette rien

What a b****y good question! Have been pondering this since you posted it Beefy!.....am still pondering! Barclay James Harvest and Peter Frampton, Doobie Brothers, ............................just look what you've started! Right methinks I've got my list, but it could all change.......
not in any particular order...
Barclay James Harvet - Nova Lepidoptera (seen live! Fantastic!)
Queen - Who wants to live forever? (want this at my funeral)
Peter Frampton - Do you feel like we do? (live version of course!)
Bob Seger - We've got tonight (what a sexy tune)

I want 'Always look on the Bright Side of Life' by the Monty Python crew for my funeral! Not for a while yet though, I hope!

I have tried and failed to select a top 5 as my music taste is very varied and equally dependent on moods and surroundings, but here are 5 that are special to me for various reasons
Motorhead - Overkill (was a roadie on the Ace of Spades Tour)
Capercaillie - Outlaws (I played this on my walkman endlessly when I was walking from Glasgow to Cape Wrath for charity in '94)
I Will Follow - U2 (Other than Joshua Tree, I still think Boy is the best entire album they have made - not one poor track)
Sealed With A Kiss From a Rose - Seal (sounds morbid but was played at my mates funeral and at my wedding)
War Pigs - Black Sabbath (Remember this as a stand out track - but love Sabbath - have done since I was a kid)

There are so many more to choose from but c'est la vie

was a roadie on the Ace of Spades Tour

and I thought Oasis was good fun - that must have been a real one to remember Rat(or can you remember it?)
