Re: Favourite single
 

Last Kiss by Pearl Jam!!!

Re: Favourite single
 

I like loads of songs; there's not really one I can think of as all time favourite - different songs bring up different memories.

Let's just say that there are loads of songs from the 80s that I like.

Like 'Don't You Want Me' by Human League, for example.

But then I also like Hush, which I think is still in the charts, although I doubt it will be an all-time great!

Re: Favourite single
 

I would have to agree with that one!!

Others include.........
Together in electric dreams - giorgio moroder/phil oakey
Wishful Thinking - China Crisis
Hideaway - Erasure
Summer of 69 - Bryan Adams
Plus 100's of others,as i tend to listen to allsorts!

Re: Favourite single
 

definitely couldn't pick one...lots of 80's because I was defo an 80's girl but i also like some from the 60's 70's and even some that my kids listen to, I'm just a greedy girl really...

Re: Favourite single
 

Should have been a single without doubt.:p
I just put favourite songs!

Re: Favourite single
 

I have all but one of the Erasure albums (including The Two Ring Circus). I don't know what its called, but it is either due for release soon or has already been released.

I have a load of limited edition 12" Erasure singles too, and I have been to a few of their concerts! My missus especially likes Andy Bell's outfits!

I'm a bit of an Erasure fan!

Re: Favourite single
 

the two ring circus were a compilation of producer 'Flood' mixes i used to have it sadly lost all my vinyl to the ex whom refused to give em back, i also has the abba-esque Ltd ed 12" .

Re: Favourite single
 

After all this they may make a comeback the winner of stars in your eyes was Andy Bell lol.

Re: Favourite single
 

New album is out;think it's called "Nightbird" £9.97 Music Zone[bit of blatent advertising]

Re: Favourite single
 

Tehehehehe Lindsay oh well answers the Q then lol

Re: Favourite single
 

Re: Favourite single
 

"Good Rockin' Tonight" - Wynonie Harris. The most important single of the post-war era. Without it, there would be no rock/pop music as we know it.

Re: Favourite single
 

Just found one that I hope was released in England but I don't know because its on the Country charts here
" Remember when" by Alan Jackson.

Re: Favourite single
 

great track-but jackie brenstons"Rocket 88"is supposedly the first r@roll record ever made in1954,

Re: Favourite single
 

Yeah, "Rocket 88" is a great single, especially with Ike Turner's superb guitar playing. However, "Good Rockin' Tonight" was made a full seven years before and effectively made the breakthrough from rhythm & blues to rock & roll with its storming beat and slapback bass. It certainly impressed a young truck driver in Memphis called Elvis Presley who covered it in 1954 as one his very first singles on Sun Records.

Re: Favourite single
 

thanks for the info wynonnie,you certainly know your music,sadly very few people do,

Re: Favourite single
 

Cashman, I learnt some of my musical knowledge from listening to the older guys talking music on the Deck!

Re: Favourite single
 

Gosh,
No way could I even get it down to half a dozen. It also depends on my mood at the time. I quite like morbid stuff when feeling melancholy, Rock when upbeat, Vocals when chilled, etc.

Music should feed your mood and its natural to feel differently depending on whats happening in your life at that point.

My 2p anyway

Re: Favourite single
 

Like most people, it depends on my mood, but Roy Orbison's In dreams..is up there among the top few. and most of Elvis's earlier releases

Re: Favourite single
 

i suspect our paths have crossed in the distant past,in fact i'd put money on it but i don't gamble.

Re: Favourite single
 

Nessun Dorma......Luciano Pavarotti

Re: Favourite single
 

probably something heavy like system or AFI

Re: Favourite single
 

mine for sure is hunting high and low by a,ha

Re: Favourite single
 

I can't even narrow this one down to half a dozen. I have very varied tastes but here are a few faves.

We take mystery (to bed) - Gary Numan
Union City Blue - Blondie
Torch - Soft Cell
Woman - John Lennon
Common People - Pulp
Eighth Day - Hazel O'Connor

and many many more.....:D

Re: Favourite single

Re: Favourite single
 

nirvana - smells like teen spirit

Re: Favourite single
 

My favourite song of all time is 'Northern Sky' by Nick Drake, but that wasn't released as a single. My favourite single and fifth favourite song is 'Blue Guitar' by Justin Hayward and John Lodge. For the record, here's the rest of my top ten songs:

2. Fairport Convention 'Who Knows Where The Time Goes'
3. Pink Floyd 'Wish You Were Here'
4. The Strawbs 'The Flower And The Young Man'
6. Peter Gabriel 'Blood Of Eden'
7. Richard and Linda Thompson 'A Heart Needs A Home'
8. Emmylou Harris 'Boulder To Birmingham'
9. Yes 'Turn Of The Century' (you see, I managed to get an Accy link in somewhere, as it's Jon boy's native town)
10. Barclay James Harvest 'Mocking Bird'

BTW I'm not an ageing hippie in his 50s, I'm only 34.
