Paddock Posted June 18, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 18, 2016 Impossible this late. I'll contribute in the morning. You absolute light weight :shaking fist: If this was the BBC ... Well there would be a cover up and we'd say fuck all but this is TT, a bastion of society and we wont stand for it. Well, ok but just make sure you post it tomorrow ok! By the way, when I snuff it and they torch me, as my coffins going through the curtain the solo from Dogs by Pink Floyd will play, it's a hauntingly beautiful melody. I already have this written in to my will. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neil Young was difficult for me; could have been any of twenty (I'm already thinking "Don't Cry No Tears" would've been a better choice). Coldplay likewise, though a smaller pool, "Life in Technicolor ii" came close. "Sit Down" is classic, not many songs you can listen to 500 odd times and still enjoy as much as the first!

I'd go for Beethovens 6th over 9th. Symphonie Fantastique I'd agree. The Sleeping Beauty ballet score by Tchaikovsky. Four Seasons-Vivaldi The Planets-Holst Mass in B minor-Bach Bit stuck after those; hear things that I like but can never remember the titles, there's something by Elgar that sends shivers down my spine but can't remember what it's called.

I had to relisten to the album to find the name, I always refer to it as whisky bar. The song you picked is probably his best one, but the music for the chorus excites me, like when you've just done something special and tickles that part is f your brain were you can't help but smile. With James I already loved them, but when it was posted on here about "Sit Down" being co-wrote by someone in a wheelchair it added another level.

Matt Posted June 20, 2016 Report Share Posted June 20, 2016 I honestly can't narrow down close to 10. I always used to do it in Top 5's, depending on the scenario, i.e. Top 5 driving tracks, Top 5 Heavy, Top 5 Get Shit Done, etc... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnh Posted June 20, 2016 Report Share Posted June 20, 2016 Que sera, sera by Doris Day. This was top of the pops when I was doing National Service in Singapore 1950's. Whenever I hear it (not often these days) I can close my eyes and am transported back to those days. plus: anything by Nat King Cole and Ella Fitzgerald.

Whenever I hear it (not often these days) I can close my eyes and am transported back to those days. plus: anything by Nat King Cole and Ella Fitzgerald. I had an email exchange with her daughter recently; I discovered an autographed two dollar bill given to my dad by "someone" a couple of years back (says "To Rex. Good luck London Dec 7th 1966") and it looked to me like it could be her signature. Dad knew everyone who was anyone in the music biz back then, Beatles included, but I think the only two people he'd have asked for an autograph would have been Ella and Sinatra. Her daughter thinks it's genuine so probably worth a few quid but it's going nowhere . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
