whats your fave tune?
Yellow by Coldplay.
Caught by the fuzz by supergrass no idea why.
Changes by Black Sabbath or Shine on You Crazy Diamond by Floyd or Teenage Kicks by The Undertones.
Probably.
It changes pretty much day by day, but I settle on this one quite often:
Definitely the best cover of all time.
November Rain - Guns n' Roses
I can put it on repeat and never tire of it
So many to choose from, but if there was one that's been listened to the most and never seems to fail... Underworld "Dirty Epic"
'My Old Man's A Dustman', Lonnie Donegan.
My 1st ever record. I was about 6.
Verve. History. The long version not the radio edit
Occasional "all time fave"
But more often than not it's this..
HTH
Hotel California (and Take It Easy, and Witchy Woman), Monday Morning (and Go Your Own Way) and a couple of tracks on Broadsword And The Beast. You can tell I'm old...
One of my best mates accuses me of only buying music from the last century... Guilty as charged, but I don't care!
This is well up there ,though it changes every day. Just captures the sheer elation of when the music hits and you get absorbed by it.
Dobie Gray - Out On The Floor.
Heaven and Hell - Black Sabbath
That is quite difficult but most likely:
Evol Intent - Middle of the Night
It varies but this is always near the top.
or this
clues in my username
stick with it...
Pink Floyd's Wish You Were Here.
Although of late The Jezabels Time to Dance, No Country and, Imagine Dragons Hear Me are getting played a lot.
Sneaker pimps - loretta young silks
Probably changes by the hour to be honest
Or
See. I changed my mind already 🙂
as with Kilo,
favourites come and go with the seasons, but Magazine's "A Song From Under The Floorboards" will never be outside my top 3. Enduringly brilliant.
Almost impossible to answer on any given day.
I guess this one, I never get tired of listening to it, and it's just a most beautiful song, by one of our best singer/songwriters, when she was around fourteen-fifteen.
Who Knows Where The Time Goes, by Sandy Denny.
Oooh, liking Jondoh's Floyd choice but I would take Wish You Were here from that album.
Sultans of Swing, just love the tightness of that record.
Billy Bragg, many of his but Between the Wars is the song I will have played at my funeral, makes me cry and will piss my inlaws off. 🙂
Count Zero, I remember hearing that song for the first time. I was in Sainsbury's car park and Mike Harding played it, just sat in my car absolutely spell bound.
An amazing piece of music.
Just a wonderful album with this the best song.
@RaveyDavey I'm guessing from the username there have been a few 'dirty epic' moments in your life?
That's a tricky question but I'll go with All along the Watchtower by Hendrix.
At the moment.
Nope.
Give Me Shelter by The Stones.
I'll go with this one for now
Having said that, this album is getting hammered a lot lately.
Mostly Teenage Kicks - the Undertones but then Warmth of the Sun by the Beach Boys. I wouldn't want to be without either of them tbh.
Varies all the time but this is consistently in the top five.
Right up there...
Johnny Cash "Hurt"
UB40 "Food for Thought"
can't split Óró, sé do bheatha abhaile or the Cure's Lullaby.
Christy Moore, Viva la Quinta Brigada
Floyd are there, as are the Stones BUT without fail it's Led Zep with Ramble On 😀
impossible to name 1.
Again, it changes, but this is always up there for me.
Short, sweet and makes me imagine being out on a hill somewhere perfect. 🙂
Very hard, but this always makes me smile.
Bhundu Boys, Nhai Mukoma
The downside of this thread is being home alone and slightly drunk I've started to blast out the Pixies and atm James whilst re-ordering my cd's and hiding mrs Kilo's Ally mcbeal soundtrack cd and similar sh**e
[url=
Redding - Try a little tenderness[/url]
which james you listening to kilo, my favourite live band?
Danny Boy
Just to throw a change-up into the mix, here's a Neapolitan masterpiece, sung by the best tenor(ish) since Pav:
for this forum?
We need so damn many things
To keep our dazed lives going
Many things, to keep our lives
Lives going, so many things
We need so damn many things
(We need so damn, we need so damn many things)
To keep our stupid lives going
(To keep our stupid, keep our stupid lives going)
Many things to keep our lives
(To keep our lives, to keep our lives, many things)
Lives going, so many things
(So many things, so many things, lives going)
We can be bound, run around
(We can be bound, we can be bound, run around)
which james you listening to kilo, my favourite live band?
Whiplash but just moving onto Semisonic, it's times like this when a mixing desk would be quite handy 🙂
Cat Stevens - how can I tell you
OR
Water boys - a man is in love.
Actually there are far too many to list.
Prince - the original of nothing compares to you.
It could be a different song tomorrow but right now,
(sorry, song doesn't start til a minute in)
Every single hour it changes. Right now it's Rockets Fall On Rocket Falls. GSYBE

It is that. It breaks my heart thinking how young she was when she died, and in such a stupid fashion; brain haemorrhage after falling down stairs, and not getting properly checked over. Such a waste, I always wonder what she could have gone on to create had she lived.
Actually, not quite so difficult: Sandy left a bunch of unfinished songs behind, the lovely Thea Gilmore was approached to finish them, which she did on the album Don't Stop Singing.
I can't recommend this album highly enough, Thea and her husband Nigel, who did the arrangements, did Sandy proud, I think she'd be thrilled with the results. Sadly, no YouTube available, but look for Frozen Time and Glistening Bay on Last FM.
Its hard to love a man whose legs are bent and paralysed
Well just going along with the premise that it's possible to have one favourite song... I give you
Frank Zappa. Whipping Post (a cover of the Allman Brothers Band classic).
Varies but these two are consistently up there.
Smoke gets in your eyes, by The Platters, that song sure whips up a lotta dust.
This.
Right Now?
Probably Shipbuilding by Robert Wyatt
or
(obviously)
or
Tough one-
Waterboys - The whole of the moon
or
The Undertones - Teenage Kicks
or
House of pain - Jump Around
or can I have
Pink Floyd - Wish you were here - the whole album
Varies, but this one always manages to be in the top 5
