Clearing the desk this evening and out came a list I thought I’d lost for every, the ubiquitous “Top Ten Favourite Songs of All Time.” I’m not sure how long ago I wrote it out, probably two or three years at least, a couple of weeks ago I was wishing I could find it to see how well it has weathered… In no real order:
- Shivers, The Boys Next Door
- A Song from Under the floorboards, Magazine
- Wide Open Road, the Triffids
- Pretty in Pink, Psychadelic Furs
- Throw your Arms around me, Hunters and Collectors
- Ziggy Stardust, David Bowie
- The Wild, The Beautiful, and the damned, Ultravox
- Far side of Crazy, Wall of Voodoo
- Behind the wall of Sleep, the Smithereens
- Know your product, the Saints
Hmm, no Ramones, no Damned. Ten songs is such an arbitrary number. The choice still stands today, I can’t think of any major changes. I wonder how it’ll look in another couple of years?
