Anything by Tangerine Dream! Unlike their teutonic cousins Kraftwerk, Tangerine Dream don’t get much airplay. It could be because their music has no words, or it could be because…well I’ll say it before anyone else does, their music sort of all sounds the same. But then that’s never stopped...

Great film with a decent plot, but agree with others. It's Bardem as the villain that really makes it.

Can't take my eyes off you by Andy Williams Whether it was Radio Two, Radio 5 Live , Radio 6 Music or Radio 4 there were a number of songs that repeated a few weeks back on a specific day. Maybe not the day before or the one before. But that day as we mourned the passing of another great...

I Just Called To Say I Love You by Stevie Wonder Dear Stevie, I’m so sorry – I don’t want to hate one of your songs. It’s just turned out that way. You came along one summer and took over our radios. Day after day after day. It all started off well. After all you were Mr Wonder – you’d...

With a little help from my friends by The Beatles So how does it describe me? It's all about gettng by, in fact doing more than getting by. Oh, and my singing's not too hot. What would you do if I sang out of tune, Would you stand up and walk out on me? Lend me your ears and I'll sing you a...

Ernie (the fastest milkman in the west) by Benny Hill I actually love this song. I can play it time and time again, such that I surprise myself. *It's out of tune and the backing track is annoying but there are so many gems in the lyrics that all this can be forgiven! Oh, the pasteurised joke...

That's not a guilty pleasure. That's just a brilliant song!

Awaken by Yes Oh Yes. How many guilty pleasures can we unwrap with that band? For those too young to remember the heady self indulgent musical days of the ’70s, Yes were a super group only happy if a song was more than 10 minutes long, had several modulations and encompassed at least five...

Stan by Eminem I played The Marshal Mathers LP once. Ugh. I tried it again. Even more ugh. I basically didn’t like him and everything he sang about. I think it’s fair to say that’s an unhealthy obsession with your mother you’ve got there. Only one song somehow emerged for me although not...

Ask by The Smiths I’m not sure I really do favourites in an exclusive sense but if I have a group that I go back to time and time again it is The Smiths. If There is a light… is my all-time favourite song then Ask is the one that comes next. The mid 80s was that period when 12″ singles were...

Brilliant song :-)

Balamory Theme There is a reason why this is known as Balasnory in our house. As the opening toot from the ship breaks out and the kids start their incessant chanting of ’Balamory, Balamory’ I can feel my eyes going leaden. We don’t get the Balasnory theme playing in out house anymore...

Four of us going...

Paradise City - Guns N' Roses

Sweet Home Alabama - Lynyrd Skynyrd

Shake A Tail Feather from The Blues Brothers Uhmmm, this is somewhere where you don’t want to go. Me and dancing, I guess what we’re referring to here is that body twitching that goes on while listening to the radio or music while in the kitchen. And we’re talking dancing, not air guitar here...
