Top Tunes!

[Duke Speedy of Leighton]

However Nirvanah were not above taking the rip out of themselves (skip the first 40 seconds, please)!

I love the Uke Orch of GB!

Good choice!

French tunes!

Zaz - jazzy, punky, poppy, folky, little pixie that she is.

Mrs Sarkozy - Carla Bruni

... and the incomparable Stephane Grapelli

[Ithoriel]

OK, if we're "doing French" so to speak

[marie]

Cascada- Truly madly deeply....

[fsn]

Blimey Marie! Sure you didn't mean to post this in Top Totty?

[marie]

lol, I was playing it at the time....i`m a `Wanted ` fan....

[Hertsblue]

... and the incomparable Stephane Grapelli

If that's Stephane Grapelli he's ageing backwards. In a few years he'll be a babe in arms.

Top German tunes.

You know I did the top French Totty, tunes and guns yesterday. Damned difficult to find a good French gun.
Today, top German totty and guns no problem. Top German tunes? - struggling.

Nena - 99 Red Balloons

Kraftwerk - The Model

Culture Beat - Mr Vain

[Subedai]

[Subedai]

Bestest music?

Apache -The Shadows (my all time favourite No 1 Tune)
Mike Oldfield - Nearly everything he has done
Rick Wakeman - His early stuff
Steelye Span - Well folky.
Albion dance Band -Saw them in Datchett at Mrs Windsor's 25th birthday bash. Folk dancing is one of the most knackering            experiences of my life...that and 5 a side football.
Quo - grew up with them on the radio.
Queen - their early stuff -up until Sheer Heart Attack
Led Zeppelin -Brill
OMD

[Subedai]

BO**OCKS, I PRESSED THE WRONG BL**DY KEY BEFORE I'D FINISHED!!!

OMD -Joan of Arc is one of their best
Kraftwerk -Used to listen to them on Radio Caroline
David Bowie - Most of his early stuff. The Man Who Sold The World is an absolute classic -his version, not Lulu's.
AC/DC - Thunderstruck, amongst others
Dire Straits - Brothers in Arms LP/Cassette/CD whatever
T-Rex - Glam Rock at it's glammest(?)
Moody Blues - Very melodic, lyrical and a bit weird on occasion.
Sandsdtorm  - one of the few Doof-Doof tunes I quite like
Safi Duo -Bongo Song, amongst others
Iron Maiden - Run To the Hills et al.
Rammstein - Du Hast, Sonne, America.
Pink Floyd -Dark Side of the Moon, One of These Days
Fleetwood Mac - All the later stuff with Buckingham and Nicks plus Albatross, Black Magic Woman and Shake your Money-maker from their many earlier incarnations.
Alice Cooper - The only artiste who make a song about necrophilia work. Welcome to my Nightmare with the incomparable voice of Vincent Price on Black Widow is up there as one of the best.
Celine Dion -might be sacrilegious, but I think her version of River Deep, Mountain High is better then our Tina's. 
Andrea Bocelli - what a voice.
Rolling Stones -Paint it Black and another all time fave, Sympathy For The Devil.

Best painting music:
Beethoven...all of his stuff -especially the symphonies- but the best is the Piano Concerto No 5 (The Emperor)
Mike Oldfield
All chillaxing stuff.


People who should never have been near a microphone or a musical instrument:

UB40- They are at the above the pinnacle of my I CANNOT STAND THE SOUND OF YOU list.
Lighthouse Family- should be let out to sing dirges at funerals and nowhere else.

Italian Top Tunes

Sabrina - whatever happened to her?

Ennio Morricone

Vivaldi - the Nightmare by the brilliant Red Priest

[Sandinista]

As there has been a bit of gossip of late

[FierceKitty]

Given that there's usually a bit of flash to be gouged out between horses' legs etc, why has nobody chosen Beautiful Reamer as a top song? Or, indeed, Flashdance?
