Could've had many Yes tracks...but I've decided on 'Solid Space' with the song of the spheres from Jon Anderson's (extremely self indulgent but very magical) Olias of Sunhillow ;D .
First ever holiday with OH, this track was playing on our tape player (not loud) as we sat on the sand dunes and watched the sun rise over the sea, (with very dramatic rocks) Holywell Bay Cornwall...we were the only people on the beach and completely in love...aw..... ;D
pudding...mint-choc-chip ice cream
island...Fiji.

Jardack, bosom buddy! I sat my bike test when I was 45, wish I'd done it years before. I loved it and met some lovely people through biking, but my daughter begged me to get rid of it eventually.  At least I'm left with some great memories, and my leathers  (just in case ;D ) |

No particular order from now on.
This was a life saver at the time, in between Mrs F's, with a 12 month old son. I often listen now and smile thinking what a stupid boy I was. Nothing stays bad it all sorts itself out.
Album-meddle, track-echoes, Pink Floyd, although the first album I bought (Piper) said The Pink Floyd.
Reminds me of those Saturdays when No 1 Son was with me Mum
(Senses needed enhancing when listening) allegedly it was illegal! No one told me, 'onest guv
dessert Christmas Pudding
Island; you could be anywhere when listening to this

So onto No  The song we wanted at our wedding... "Our Song" no less! Well we had a ceilidh so it should have been allowed  A Christmas song that catches the whole Fat Andy spirit of the occasion  So it's Kirsty McColl again but this time with Shane, a man who's dentistry work has given me a comparative whole ring of Colgate confidence. A Fairy Tale of New York..... |

At No 6 in my hit parade ...... is Gardenhammerette for slagging off Freddy on another thread (if it was Freddy and the Dreamers of "You were made for me" fame she'd still feature in the top 10. Anyway I digress ;D No 6 in my random top ten of unlikely tunes.... ....well any man that appears on stage with gladioli spouting out of his bottom deserves a top 10 spot. So that would be the lead singer of The Smiths. I saw live (and occasionally less live) many times and although the music may have been depressing I haven't got any Jonny Marrs (scars) to prove it My favourite is Reel Around the Fountain and the immortal line "15 minutes with you - I couldn't say no", but to capture the true mood this is a track that sums the band up..."Heaven Knows I'm Miserable Now". |

Captain Cabbage - I just love "Reel Around the Fountain" by the Smiths. I even enjoy it when my OH sings it accompanied by acoustic guitar. I have many more than 10 songs. A song that I doubt anybody has heard is Marc Cohn singing "The Things we Handed Down" a sentimental song on the birth of his first child ( reminds me of when I had mine also and makes me cry)  PJ |

Captain, I don't know who I find more depressing, Morrissey, or Thom Yorke...  I have always struggled with Radiohead. I find so much of their music makes me want to down a bottle of gin and wail. But for some reason I love this track in particular, enough for it to be in my top ten: I'd have to take it with me so I could work out why I love this one so much, and hardly any of the others. Pud - Rhubarb Crumble and Custard. |

Drat I forgot Morrisey's island and pud.... ;D
Island - Spinalonga just off Crete. They sent the lepers there until 1950 something (and they still have onions and carrots growing wild).
Pud - School Semolina (yueck!)

Row, Radiohead is my son's favourite band. I bought The Bends when it first came out and he found it in my collection quite a few years later and said Mum why did you buy that? He couldn't believe that I bought a CD that he liked!!!

Those jokes cost me ;D Promise you won't tell anyone but the boys at school used to call me Fergal (Sharkey) behind my back on account of my facial features (esp. dodgy chin) and hairstyle. The undertones of which meant I got plenty of kicks in as a teenager. BTW The girls at school called me "Linford" on account of the size of my lunch box  I had a large one on account of all the custard pies to throw at them ;D |

Jumping about in time.
Next is Al Capone by Prince Buster, still have it as a ring tone.
More about the era then the song, it was the start of the time when the music rather than ethnicitity (?) was the difference. Good times in the pubs and clubs in and around Fulham broadway, Parsons Green and Hammersmith.
It was called Blue Beat, later to be swallowed up by Reggae
Dessert- Rice Pudding, blackcurrent jam and a fight for the burnt bits
Island Staffa

Next.....
All over now - Stones reminds me of the heady days and nights at the Marquee, Flamingo and Ronnie Scots, A quick drink in the pubs at the real Covent Garden on the way home at about 5am.
Anybody else remember Cyril Davies or am I going back too far? I only ask because I remember them (CD and Stones) sharing drummer and bass I think.
Other haunts in those days were the 2is and Heaven and Hell coffee bars
Dessert Knicker bocker glory
Island Eel Pie - another good venue

Last one for now, forgot where I am in numbers.
Again not so much a song more of an era. We have already had Baba, so my choice from the best Rock and Roll band in the World is "Wont Get Fooled Again"
Memories are; weekends at Knebworth, Van Heusen shirts, bum freezer suits, Vespas. I stayed on 4 wheels, an A40 , sleept in the back.
dessert a favourite of mine, Apple&Blackcurrent pie.
See how far I have progressed from those younger days, now I grow the filling for this dessert.
Island - Hayling, always got lost on way to Brighton!

Number 5 I think or it could be 6.
Someones already mentioned the Davies bros, so I'll not mention Waterloo Sunset, Autumn Almanac or Goldhawk Road. God I was 19ish
What I will mention is:
Aint no sunshine now your gone. Again many many versions I'm torn between Al Green and Bill Withers
There is also an interesting version, NOT for the faint hearted or purist, by RUN-DMC, Its part of the soundtrack from a film called Exit Wounds. Before you rush off to find it. WARNING very very strong language.
Banoffee
Farne, you can see I'm well travelled, nothing like the islands we live on

I couldn't make up my mind between that song, The Same Love That Made Me Laugh, and Give Me The Beat boys. Great performer. |

No 10 for me, Gloria Gaynor I will Survive.  Helped me through a divorce. It showed me that I could pick myself up and get out there again. Dessert has to be whimberry pie (hot) with lots of fresh cream. Island. New Zealand.  |

Wee T/Tigri
In danger of giving our age away.
As you can tell I lived as a young lad in West London and had a brilliant time. I'm sure there were some bad times but I cannot remember any. We used to go out every week end to various pubs/clubs. The good part about London was that if you knew where to go you could usually find a pub/club at nearly anytime day or night. Long before 24 hour drinking but still legal (Fleet street, Covent Garden, Billingsgate and Smithfield to mention a few of the obvious). I'd be lying if I said we did not go out to have a good drink. So, I always wonder about this new craze called "binge drinking", perhaps we handled it better. But I doubt it!

Island? Erm....
