theherd123 Posted February 16, 2007 Share Posted February 16, 2007 10? Is that all im allowed? Ok this is what i would choose at this moment in time Waterfall by Atlantic Ocean - takes me back to my raving days when the dance music scene started - oh those were the days! Just Cant Get Enough by Depeche Mode total classic & gets my feet moving every time! Dont Leave by Faithless just brilliant! Travellers Tune - Ocean Colour Scene - just love this tune & OH can play it on his guitar too which is a bonus!!! Someone Like You by Van Morrison - love it so much we had our first dance to it when we got married Knockin On Heavens Door by Bob Dylan - you just cant beat a bit of Bob! Here Comes The Sun by The Beatles wonderful to hear any time of year but especially on a warm Spring day when the sun is shining! All That You Have Is Your Soul - Tracy Chapman absolutely beautiful words Protection by Massive Attack - astounding track! Feeling Good by Nina Simone - oh if only i could sing like her! Can i really only have 10?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gooner.girl Posted February 16, 2007 Share Posted February 16, 2007 I ought to warn you... i love what some might call cheesey music! My top 10 - at the moment anyway! Iris - Goo goo dolls - A new fave Don't feel like dancing - The Scissor Sisters - i just want to get up and boogie whenever i hear it and i'm useless at dancing! Does your mother know - Abba - Classic! Though i love ALL Abba stuff Ocean Drive - Lighthouse family - Reminds me of happy times... Even If - The Corrs - (though i also love 'What can i do?' and 'Give it all up' by The Corrs - i couldn't decide which to put) You get what you give - New Radicals - again happy memories! Jump - Girls Aloud - another song that would get me onto the dancefloor Cherish - Madonna - i like lots of Madonna stuff but this is a fave... Bright side of the road - Van Morrison - Played on the Fever Pitch soundtrack and it always makes me smile cos i love the film and why its played at the end.... This kiss - Faith Hill - so cool! And honourable mention must go to The Kooks, She moves in her own, Aerosmith, i don't want to miss a thing, The Verve, Bitter sweet symphony and Waiting for a star to fall by Boy meets girl. And i haven't included anything by Wham, Bryan Adams, Shania Twain or the Pet Shop Boys and i LOVE them all! And i'm sure theres at least 5 more obvious ones that have skipped my mind...

Guest Posted February 16, 2007 Share Posted February 16, 2007 I just don't know how you even think of these songs. I have to hear them to remember them! I'd have to take CDs, not tracks. My favourite CD of all time is Psalm Songs, a set of responsorial songs based on the psalms. When I was in the Royal Marsden for 2 weeks I played this all the time and it really helped me through. I still play it regularly and if I could only take one, this would be it. After that, I'd have Fauré requiem, Mozart Requiem and Rutter's requiem. Handel's Messiah Status Quo Bridge over troubled water (or a whole S+G CD) Enya Madness or The Specials Abba or Bee Gees Elton John sorry, I'm not very good at this but it's a start! I forgot The Korgis. I love their songs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cate in NZ Posted February 17, 2007 Share Posted February 17, 2007 I've really had to think before adding to this thread........ it's just so hard to choose just 10. So I've gone for tracks that I love, but they all mean something very special to me, whether it be what I was doing or who I was with at the time, or that music intervened at special times of my life. So.... in no particular order: Golden Brown: The Stranglers Kayleigh: Marillion Layla: Eric Clapton The Living Years: Mike and the Mechanics Follow You, Follow Me: Genesis Jeux Sans Frontieres: Peter Gabriel Running up the Hill: Kate Bush Come on Eileen: Dexy's Midnight Runners Hey Ho Silver Lining: Jeff Beck Seasons of the Sun: Terry Jacks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted February 17, 2007 Share Posted February 17, 2007 I've tried to come up with a list for this, but I can't narrow it down My music taste is very eclectic and I like everything from Pachelbel to Ibiza Hard base and lots of stuff in between; I guess that just about covers it. At the moment I am listening to Believe by Andrea Zimmer and beautiful by Christina Aguilera. Next on is Lovely Day by Bill Withers. Problem with age is that there is so much music to pick from and you have trouble remembering the names of tracks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karen & co. Posted February 17, 2007 Share Posted February 17, 2007 Problem with age is that there is so much music to pick from and you have trouble remembering the names of tracks Snap sometimes it's not untill I hear a track again that I remember that I know it Sorry I really can't pick out just 10 karen x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd have Golden Brown!!! and Layla is always good for a blast!! Kate Bush should be in my list somewhere... and I've realised there's no Led Zep!!! how could I have left them out!! It's like Clare says - when you get to a certain age - there is simply too much to choose from!! Phil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 17, 2007 Share Posted February 17, 2007 ... and another thing - there really should be room for Prince - Purple Rain - and a little bit of Hendrix... and perhaps Black Sabbath - Paranoid! Phil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted February 17, 2007 Share Posted February 17, 2007 Brass in Pocket by The Pretenders too. I was in a college band when that was out and I did the Chrissie Hynd look then too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was in a college band when that was out and I did the Chrissie Hynd look then too you're not making this any easier!! I'd have Brass in Pocket - or perhaps "2000 Miles"... probably, of the two, "2000 Miles" - I have a Pretenders unplugged album - it's really awesome on there..

The Dogmother Posted February 17, 2007 Share Posted February 17, 2007 That album sounds good I have some really good vintage vinyl albums of theirs. Notice how stuff from our youth is now called 'vintage'. Blooming cheek if you ask me! Edit: Says she, currently listening to Judge Jules' latest album - Judgement Sundays.......... fantastic!!!

bronze Posted February 17, 2007 Share Posted February 17, 2007 I've started doing my own version. I bought myself a s"Ooops, word censored!"y ipod video thingy today so now I have to choose what I put on it (or can afford to) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Looney Posted February 17, 2007 Share Posted February 17, 2007 I have put every album I own on my ipod and I love putting it on shuffle - out of the blue I hear songs that I haven't heard for ages and they bring back a huge range of emotions Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowy Posted February 17, 2007 Share Posted February 17, 2007 This is so hard! I've been following this since the beginning trying to put my top 10 together, then people post theirs and I think 'I must have that one on!' So although I love them, I've not included Nothing Compares to You, Homeward Bound, Cry me a River or Hallelujah. Hopefully I would hear them drifting over from someone else's desert island! Here are mine: Erasure - Surrender The Corrs & Bono - Summer Wine Abba - The Day before you came (one of their last hits, and when their music was becoming more 'interesting' and less poppy!) Aztec Camera - Somewhere in my heart (haven't a clue what it's on about, but love the music!) Ike & Tina Turner - Nut Bush City Limits (just cannot sit still to this one) The Pearl Fishers Duet Van Morrison - Moondance George Michael - a Different Corner (so hard to choose only one of his though) Beverley Knight - Keep this fire burning (fantastic beat) Jools Holland & his Rhythm & Blues Orchestra - Revolution (preferably live!! In fact, can I just take Jools & his band??) And I still haven't managed to include any Eagles or Fleetwood Mac! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicken Licken Posted February 17, 2007 Share Posted February 17, 2007 *desert island begins to sink under weight of music that has arrived* with global warming too the island will become Atlantis by the end of next week.... great lists folks and far too difficult to select from my eclectic choice!!

Guest Posted February 18, 2007 Share Posted February 18, 2007 That album sounds good I have some really good vintage vinyl albums of theirs. It's called "The Isle of View" - it has a string quartet (viola, cello & 2 violins) alongside their own guitars, drums and a bass.. many of the old favourites - but all stripped down - and some of the arrangements bring out new facets in the songs. it's a live album too - which brings some freshness to it.

Cinnamon Posted February 18, 2007 Share Posted February 18, 2007 Aztec Camera - Somewhere in my heart (haven't a clue what it's on about, but love the music!) I LOVE Aztec Camera & this song reminds me of our honeymoon in Malta where it was played every evening in the bar. I can't believe it isn't on my list Claim to fame - Roddy Frame once stage dived onto my head Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
