excellent thread! Classic displacement activity for the work I should be doing but have not even started.

Impossible to have 5 though. Got it down to 10 which was hard enough and took enough time to get me past the 5pm mark so I cant make the phonecalls I've been supposed to.

Here they are:-

Could it Be Magic - Although cheating because I'll need both versions. Bazza's because it is brilliant and Take That's which is equally brilliant and the best dance floor song ever!

Coldplay - Fix You - Ignored this until someone I know made a digital image download of her rescue greyhound with this playing over it. Left me grief stricken.

Paul Simon Late in the Evening - funky driving music!

Israel Kamakawiwo'ole - Wonderful World if you've heard this you'll understand

Stevie Wonder I Believe (When I fall in Love with You) - plenty of other steve wonder songs but this just has the edge

Joe Brown - Stepping Out - Brilliant

Elgar - Nimrod from Enigma Variations - brilliantly brilliant

Rodrigo - Concierto de Aranjuez - just as good performed by brass (as in the movie brassed off) as done by guitars. Moving stuff.

Wuthering Heights - Not whiney Kate though. The Ukelele Orchestra of Great Britain - literally unbelievable!!

The Alarm - 68 Guns. Missed this originally as was more of a Duran Durannie type teen. However saw it performed live a few years back (was working late at the theatre that night and went through through the wrong door!) and it and the crowd blew me away.

Choosing a luxury: my dogs. OH and kids could cope admirably on their own. However no one understands my mad hounds like me!!

Choosing a book: Susan Cooper, The Dark is Rising Sequence. Stunning.

Oooh! Marillion - Market Square heres, fab track! Seen them live twice, and got the album sleeve autographed at the Manchester Apollo by the whole group!

Duran Duran - The Chauffeur, brilliant track!

The Alarm - 68 Guns, fab, saw them live once, got the album on vinyl too, really good album, not one bad track on it!

68 guns. i loved this as a teenager. was given a copy of the album by a girlfriend then dumped the next day. Boo Hoo!. amazing what memories a song can dredge up.

Wow, we are a mixed bunch, aren't we? Some excellent music being picked though. I think we can say goodbye to the myth that grow-your-owners are elderly gentlemen with time on their hands, don't you think

everytime I think I have my 5 songs someone makes another sugestion (aerosmith - I love that song)
But also I want to include all those songs played at a certain time in my life which mean a lot because of the feelings I had then ( the final countdown - Europe, lots of hormones )


maybe we should start another thread, your most embarrassing favorite 5 songs

[Biscombe]

This is a tough one which changes every month or so!!

1. Anything by The Fall
2. Wheres Captain Kirk by Spizzenergi
3. Zombie by Fela Kuti
3. Moondance by Van Morrison
4. Boredom by The Buzzcocks
