No doubt this list of favourite tracks says a lot about me inadvertently! I started out thinking I would only list 25 but that proved much too hard. The list does demonstrate how you can get stuck in a time warp with music. I wish there was an easy way to find great new music – it must be out there surely?

It would be great to get suggestions about what other tracks I should consider adding to this list.
Good list - I like the inclusion of the GNU song too.
ReplyDeleteGlad you liked it. Thanks for commenting
DeleteI love a good chunk of them (even though I wasn't around when these songs were first released). My parents installed the love of older music into me. It doesn't help that the radio at work mostly plays older stuff. :) Great list! Maybe I'll list some of my ultimate favoritess
ReplyDeleteIt would be great to see your list. Thanks for stopping by
ReplyDeleteThanks for the visit. I recognize most of your picks here. There are a few I don't know. I'm a big fan of fleetwood Mac and Carole King. Back in the day, I loved Dusty Springfield too, right along with Marianne Faithful.
