Alright, I'm a bit of a music buff, but as with the Radio 4 programme, you're allowed a choice of 8. 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

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

Ooh, good one Andy! Here goes: Universally speaking -Red Hot Chili Peppers 4 my people- Missy Elliott Real Slim Shady- Eminem Hey Ya- Outkast Reward- Teardrop Explodes You got good taste - The Cramps Come up & see me- Steve Harley That was tough, and I can't help feeling there should be a Beatles song in there!!

This is not a nudge, although Andy's thread deserves better than page two this mornig. My obsevation is that I should have waited, some of your choices made me feel I want to start again. Not a lot of humourous choices, and you might be able to read the selectors age by their choice. Isn't music wonderful. Have a nice day, Derek in France

HiHi Derek in france. Cheat! have 8 Comedy, & 8 Music! ;-) All the Best Peter
