The assignment: Make a list of 10 songs that played a major role in your life. Be spontaneous and dont waste your time thinking about them. The songs dont have to be of any major musical importance, but they should have touched you somehow. When finished, tag 10 of your friends - and the one who nominated you - so they can see your list and make one of their own. Donna Summer & Barbara Streisand, Enough Is Enough The first record I ever bought with 75p of saved pocket money. The B side track Lucky glittered with Giorgio Moroder disco-elctro magic.

I’m politely ushered inside by a very friendly member of the Metropolitan Police. I enter a room of swirling colour, people, scent, light, and sound where the music of my dreams becomes tangible. Cocteau Twins remain my favourite band of all time. https://youtube/watch?v=EMvYwGVlAMg Édith Piaf, La Vie en rose My teens were poignantly painful [who’s weren’t?]. Piaf’s pain most certainly eased my own the right side of fatal. https://youtube/watch?v=rzeLynj1GYM The Smiths, The Boy With The Thorn In His Side Morrissey was canonised by means of a foolscap poster in my room. https://youtube/watch?v=qdOHPjMzY8s Into The Sun, Weekend Players Amsterdam.
