Somebody Loves You - Nik Kershaw
Senses Working Overtime - XTC

My opinion changes as far as fave songs. I might have a completely
different list tomorrow. It depends on what I feel like doing. If I
feel like dancing or moving to the music, my list might be one thing.
If I am in the mood for romance or something quiet, I'd have a
different list.
If I were in the mood to dance, I would think of songs by Michael
Jackson, Madonna, La Bouche, Black Eyed Peas, etc.
My dance list might be, in no particular order :
Where do You Go (by No Mercy)
We Like to Party (Venga Boys)
Vogue
Like a Virgin
Billie Jean
Beat It
Thriller
I Got a Feeling (Black Eyed Peas)
Rock Your Body
Be my Lover (La Bouche)

After a whip round my audio files. In no particular order.
Are Everything - Buzzcocks

Sarah Smiles - Bram Tchaikovsky
Just Dropped in (to See What Condition My Condition Was In) - Kenny
Rogers & the First Edition
Coloured Rain - Traffic
Maximum Acceleration - Ultravox
Shadows - The Electric Prunes
Baby That's Me - Leslie Gore
Don't Make A Sound - The Like (not including the false second part)
Morning Night And Day - New Order
The Fuh King

Nice one!
Too bad Gregg Alexander decided to flame out so early -- it's a damned
good album. His pop sensibility is excellent.

Not my all-time, but here's some tunes I fondly remember hearing on
the radio in the early 80s when they were new, just before MTV took
over as the media tastemaker... (Inspired by whoever included 'Train
In Vain' on their list)...
Dreaming...

Were you living in western PA at the time, or was he more national

Close enough.
In the early 80s, I was in the Westwood One bus where they supposedly
did some post for the Back On The Streets album -- anyway, the
engineer had a copy of the "Ah! Leah!" master (naughty engineer), so I
got to hear the gazillion-track vocal overdubs isolated. Hair-raising,
it was.

Okay, "Bye bye Blues" is from the 1930's, but I have to look at
the charts to remember what was a top 10 hit. Old age has

I just listened to "Head & Heart" by John Martyn and thought, put that
on my list, but then I heard Billie Holiday singng "That Ol' Devil

"Clear White Light" by Lindisfarne. And so it goes. I just can't do a
top ten and I haven't got time to do a top thousand, even if I could
settle on that.

Yeah, it's very hard, John. I have to go through the charts cause

There are so many wonderful rock songs. I also like Bohemian
Rhapsody very much and Jumpin Jack Flash from your list.
I would put "Duane's Tune" and "Rock Bottom" by Dickie Betts in my
favorite list as well as It's Only Rock and Roll by the Stones, Hush
by Deep Purple, and Love in an Elevator by Aerosmith. Oh yes and I
also like I Can't Drive 55 by Sammie Hagar and his commentary and
performance during Farm Aide. That guitar on Duane's Tune is so fine
it is supernatural and sometimes the song makes me cry even though it
is an instrumental.

Oh and of course I meant to include I am The Walrus and A Day in

Not on the Immediate comp I have (a single CD). I have a CD of her two
albums, various producers according to the liner notes, including Mick
Jagger on one song (I think). It's The Small Faces playing on that
song, who can be seen on the film clip of it too. It's in desperate
need of remastering. I particularly like her version of The First Cut
is the Deepest too.

Some excellent choices there. I mentioned Laura Marling earlier - I
like her a lot. Mumford & Sons are getting a lot of attention over
here at the moment. The Besnard Lakes is definitely one I want to
investigate further, sounds very interesting. Not so keen on Neil
Young - but you can't win 'em all.

Yes, got that. I think it's a bit better than just Ok, but apart from
Sweet Warrior, most of his albums have been a bit hit and miss since
the 80s, plenty of highlights but plenty of just so-so.
