I think I could easily give up television or even cinema but music just has this wonderful way of transporting you right back to a time,place, event or person. I thought it might be an interesting and fun for members to share, in no particular order, their top 10 favourite records :) I'll start with mine:
1.September - Earth Wind & Fire
2. Stomp - The Brothers Johnson
3. Life on Mars - David Bowie
4. Night Boat to Cairo - Madness
5 Emotions - Samantha Sang
6. I'm Not in Love - 10cc
7.Bohemian Rhapsody - Queen
8.Ziggy Stardust - David Bowie
9. I'm Still Waiting - Diana Ross
10. She's Gone - Foreigner
That was tough. I have about 2800 (50's.60's,70's and 80's) tracks on my ipod and with the exception of a couple of 'modern' tracks that Jill likes I just love to hear them all :)
-
God, so many to choose from, but here goes.
Men Imagine John Lennon
Even Now Barry Manilow
The wonder of you Elvis Presley
Women The way we were Barbra Streisand

Groups Sultans of swing Dire Straights

I could go on forever, but 10 it is. :)
