Five Songs


Ok. Quick, quick, top of the head, straight from the hip here: five songs that you could not do without. If you had to erase, burn, melt throw your music collection, what five songs would you want to keep a hold of.

1. Walk Out To Winter - Aztec Camera
2. Babies - Pulp
3. Girl With The Sun In Her Head - Orbital
4. Cry Me A River - Julie London
5. Shopping - The Jam


And... pencils down....time up......

(You know though that I've already changed my mind.)

albums is easier:

dare - the human league
abc - lexicon of love
orbital - insides
the jam - all mod cons
the clash - london calling

Soul and reggae is much much harder. For the purposes of this exercise I'm going to assume I'm allowed to secretly keep it all.

Sorry about the dog dvd. Although 'sorry about the dog' sounds like a Jim Reeves tune. Nothing wrong with Jim.
