Halleluja (?) Leonard Cohen (and Susan Boyles latest version-honest!)

Early Beatles songs (60's) All of them.


Too many others to list individually. I have a very varied taste, including some Country songs

How CAN you choose when there are so many wonderful songs out there to enjoy?

I really like that last one QM, but I like it by the Neville Brothers. They do a live version and the whole album is great.

My wife always says she almost danced herself to death the first time she heard "The Wild, The Innocent & The E Street Shuffle" by Springsteen.

Also love "A Case of You" by Joni Mitchell.

Lots of great Canadian songwriters.

NMC I think it was YOU who introduced me to the Proclaimers and I just love their 'Letter from America'.

I've been on Youtube and seen them as they are now. (Andy Pipkin and The Proclaimers lol )

I knew - and loved - the song '500 Miles' but never did take any notice of who sang it until a few months ago. Mr. G. DID - he's way ahead of me when it comes to music etc.

Music is amazing.

Difficult one - I've got over 8000 on my iTunes.
To get me going (when nobody is around of course)

Roll over Beethoven - Electric Light Orchestra
I get by with a little help from my frends - Joe Cocker
Born to be wild - Steppenwolf
Thriller - Jacko

How nostalgic I am plays a big part and perhaps how much I know it will embarass my son!

If I'm in a Latin mood:

Sonho meu - Maria Bethania
La Colegiala - Any version
Sodade - Cesaria Evora

To satisfy the redneck in me:

Steel Rails - Alison Krauss
Mother Nature's son - John Denver
Anything by Johnny Cash

When the black dog descends:

Mozart's Requiem
They are at rest - Elgar

To chill out

Marwa blues - George Harrison
Anything by Eric Satie
Oblivion - Astor Piazolla
Shine - Joney Mitchell
Variations on a theme by Thomas Tallis - Vaughan Williams
Five variants of Dives and Lazarus - ditto

To make me laugh

Anything by Spike Jones eg. Never hit your Grandma with a shovel

Anything by the Bonzo Dog Band eg Alibaba's Camel


There are so many to choose from and different situations. In the car for instance I'm sure the music affects my driving so watch out when anything by J J Cale comes on the radio!

Layla - Derek & The Dominoes
Born To Run - Bruce Springsteen
I Fought The Law - The Clash
Stay With Me/You Can Make Me Dance/Had Me A Real Good Time - The Faces
The Hunter (live) - Free
Burlesque - Family
Rockaway Beach - The Ramones
Won't Get Fooled Again - The Who
Honky Tonk Women - Stones
Sheherazade - Rimsky-Korsakov

oooh - loads more...

Rick Astley - Never gonna give you up (I even liked it before Rickrollin' was popular, nyar...but I'm not quite sure that's the point of Rickrollin'...)

Ben Folds - Zac and Sara

Billy Joel - All for Leyna or We didn't start the fire.

Aerosmith - Janie's got a gun (not quite a pick-me up song, I'll admit, I just like the story telling.)

Handel - Messiah (Did a performance of this last year and I downloaded a very odd version when I was learning it which was sung by a computer using a text-to-speech sort of thing. Still, very enjoyable, albeit a little silly.)


The more you think about the question, the more songs you think of. I think I'll leave it there with my total randomness laid bare. These songs tend to crop up most often when I'm looking for something to listen to.

Peter Cook Complete Works

INcomplete works, surely?

He used to be a neighbor of mine 25-odd years ago. Never managed to complete a sentence while sober.
After one New Year's Eve party he went missing....along with a case of cherry brandy from the house.
On 2nd January police were called to a garage off Perrins Lane 'because of a strange smell'.
Eventually the door was opened and Pete was discovered huddled next to a calor gas fire.
Needless to say the DeKuyper box was empty along with all the bottles....

Ah yes...

So sad..

As you say QM...Pete certainly had his ups and his downs with his bottles and powders..

Especially that final 10 years of his spiral to self-destruction..

So instead, remember the bright times..

The best of his legacy...

The genius..

A musical accompaniment to a typical day at the office:


Alarm tone: Hell's Bells - AC/DC

Drive to work: Highway To Hell - AC/DC

Psycho Killer - Talking Heads
Janie's Got A Gun - Aerosmith

Lunch: Food Glorious Food - Lionel Bart

Clinic 2:
Red Ripper Blues - Church Of Misery
The Axeman's Jazz - Beasts Of Bourbon
Addicted To Vaginal Skin - Cannibal Corpse

Afternoon Tea: Always Look On The Bright Side of Life - Monty Python

Supervision: The Logical Song - Supertramp

Drive home: 4' 33" - John Cage

Unwind: Wasted - Carrie Underwood

Californication - Red Hot Chili Peppers
Alcohol - Bare Naked Ladies
I wish I was a Punk Rocker - Sandi Thom

Summer of '69 - Bryan Adams
When September Ends - Greenday
Leave me alone - Pink
Rockstar/Shakin' Hands - Nickelback
Grace Kelly - Mika
Importance of Being Idle - Oasis
Sk8r Boi - Avril Lavigne

Erm...loads more...I did 11 because I don't like top 10s, something always gets left out.

I'm a bit eclectic. Those 11 will have me belting out along with them, but generally I live my life to an MP3 soundtrack.

Shame I can't sing, because I can remember the lyrics to approximately 40,000* songs.
