five faves

Hendix vodoo child the 20 minute version

barclay james harvest Mocking bird 20 mins
Morrisey Every day is like sunday, feeling a bit down this week.

[Eternal Sunshine]

Ooo good thread!

1. Gigantic - Pixies
2. Creep - Radiohead

Finding it hard to put further ones in order, but at the moment it seems to be going like this:

3. The Final Cut - Pink Floyd
4. Rise - P.I.L.
5. Dakota - Stereophonics

After the 1st 2 that was soooo hard - there were so many that I would like to have put as joint 3rd / 4th / 5th, but I've been ruthless & settled for those above.

Brewer again, I love that Barclay James Harvest Mockingbird track - recently managed to transfer it from the old LP gathering dust to my ipod - fabulous. Would it be on my top 5 tho...?

Hmm, only 5 is tough. S'pose I will have to leave out Rocket Man by Elton John....
1. (Talk to me of) Mendocino by Kate and Anna McGarrigal
2. Home thoughts from Abroad, Clifford T Ward
3. Song for R, The Be Good Tanyas
4. Catch the Wind, Donovan

[multiveg]

1) Pink Floyd - comfortably numb,
2) Beautiful South - Bellbottomed tear
3) Monaco - Shine
4) Mike Oldfield - Tubular Bells (2)
5) Meatloaf - Life is a Lemon and I want my money back

As a fan of Desert Island Discs, think we should add a book and a luxury to the list!

Book - Matthew Biggs, Jekka McVicar & Bob Flowerdew: Vegetables, herbs & fruit.

Luxury - Chocolate!!!

[Earthbabe]

Possibly subject to change

I think this is the top 5 (in no particular order)

1 - Sexuality, Billy Bragg
2 - Chorus of the Hebrew Slaves (Nabucco), Verdi
3 - Don't stop me now, Queen
4 - Surf's up , Jim Steinman (not the naff meatloaf version)
5 - Bullet the Blue Sky, U2

All picked for the emotional effect and singalongability. There are loads of others and this list could be subject to change at any time. Choices can go up and down. Your hearing is at risk if played too loud.

[TonyF]

Well, I've been thinking about the Desert Island Disks ............

The next three would be:

You are so beautiful, Joe Cocker
Blue, Joni Mitchell
Introduction and Allegro, Elgar

And if I can smuggle it in the ultimate garden song - In the Garden by Van Morrison

No Bible or Shakespeare thank you.

Complete works of the Huguenot Society of Great Britain instead of both the above, would keep me occupied for years.

Luxury would be seeds and my whole gardening kit and internet access on lap top which didn't need a battery and so I could keep up to date here.

[Wendy]

Wow thats a hard one!

1. Temple of the Dog - call me a dog
2. Soundgarden - Outshined

4. Rage Against The Machine - Killing in the Name
5. Tool - Aenima

[Geordie]

Zofo - Good Times bad Times

Black Sabbath - War Pigs

Thin Lizzy - Cowboy Song

Rolling Stones - Tumbling Dice

Picked from a short list of 472!
