My recent top ten: Neil Young - Heart Of Gold Bob Mould - The Next Time That You Leave The Smiths - Meat Is Murder The Goo Goo Dolls - All Eyes On Me Diamond Head - Makin' Music Social Distortion - Down Here With The Rest Of Us Radiohead - How Do You? All Systems Go - Tell Vicky Big Star - September Gurls Kiss - Crazy Crazy Nights A slightly more eclectic ten than my last ten I think. |

Loved Squeeze - but my favourite was Take me, I'm yours. Mainly because of the lines "I've come across the desert to greet you with a smile, My camel looks so tired, it's hardly worth my while.."

This is far too difficult - I could quite easily list a top fifty. Here goes, in no particular order: Blind Faith - Had to cry today Tom McRae - Bloodless Jimi Hendrix - All along the watchtower Patty Griffin - Forgiveness Cream - Sunshine of your love Joni Mitchell - A case of you Led Zeppelin - When the levee breaks Roy Harper - The same old rock Bob Dylan - You're a big girl now Pink Floyd - Wish you were here Alternatively, it may be more accurate to list my top ten Tom McRae songs, as I seem to listen to him more than just about anyone else. |

Nice mix of different eras purplecleric, I don't know them all, but the ones I know I like! Leyos - I've listened to a bit of Tom McRae, he's not all that well-known, but I really liked him. |

The other day, two of my children were playing on a games website which played part of a song over and over again. It wasn't until later in the day when I found myself singing Close to you - Carpenters, that I realised that's what it had been. And it got me thinking - it's hard enough to list your favourite top ten tunes, since they change according to mood, but what about our guilty little secrets? What about the cheesy songs that none of us would readily admit to liking? This is obviously going to be subjective, since one persons cheesy is likely to be anothers classic, but here goes with some of mine. The above mentioned Carpenters song - or, really, pretty much any Carpenters song. Any 70s/80s Bee Gees song. My Boy Lollipop - Millie Mmmbop - Hanson There are many more, but they aren't coming to mind right now. These are not songs I dislike, unfortunately, they're all songs that I will happily sing along and dance to...but only when I'm alone! Think of it as evolution in action. |

Despite my usual hard rocking exterior I too am a closet Bee Gees fan, on top of that I'm also partial to a spot of Copacabana by Barry Manilow and You can't stop the music by the Village people.

I'm on the verge of compiling another top ten.

I loved ELO! And The Move, kind of a pre-ELO/Wizzard mix. Barry Manilow's Copacabana has a tendency to get stuck in my head too, but I can't decide whether I like it or hate it! Does anyone else remember Kajagoogoo? Too Shy was everywhere in the early eighties, but I never met anyone who admitted to buying the record.

As a teenager a lot of my friends were into Kajagoogoo (I knew at least one girl who completely covered her walls and ceilings with posters of what's-his-face-with-the-big-hair), but thankfully I was into different music at the time. |

I remember at school a girl was trying to convince me to go and see Kajagoogoo play at the Hammersmith Odeon. Fortunately, I resisted and went to see Iron Maiden on their 'World Piece' tour instead, they had much better hair!
