Andy, sorry to say, but I don't think I've heard of any of your top eight. I have a very simple taste. First the greatest Rock and Roll number ever, Danny and the Juniors -At the hop, The Bangles- Walk like an Egyptian, Any Love Unlimited hit, Mike Harding's- Napoleans retreat from Wigan, Brook Benton's -Fools rush in, Dire Straits- Walk of life, Tom T Hall- Mr Bojangles, and finally, Ray Stevens- Its me again, Margaret. Comedy has always been important to me, hope some more turn up, good listening, Derek in France |

Mine would be: Behind Blue Eyes - The Who I'd Have You Anytime - George Harrison La Cienega Just Smiled - Ryan Adams Like A Hurricane - Neil Young Man Out Of Time - Elvis Costello & The Attractions So Far Away - Carole King Us And Them - Pink Floyd Waiting For A Superman - The Flaming Lips |
