name your favourite all-time top ten singles ( or album tracks ), maybe comment as to why the record means so much to you, you can dip in and out of this, reviewing and revising your selection, could be interesting to see how many times the same record appears. good luck because its not as easy as you think. im off to do some researching.

I'll have a stab :)

1) Stairway to Heaven... Because I love it and it reminds me so much of my first real;) girlfriend who had to play it all the time. In 200 years from now, this will still be a classic..
2) Bohemian Rhapsody... what can you say! another 200yr classic!
3) Lay lady lay... The best of Bob - so cool!
4) No Woman - No cry... The Wailers must have been the best backing singers in history. I still get a tingle when I hear their beautiful voices! Bob Marley was good too!
5) I'm not in love... well I was! and that slow dance might have revealed my feelings, oops :o
6) Starman... I was word-perfect on this!
7) Cool for Cats... just haunting, when I hear this, it just lingers in my mind for ages.
8) My Way... Possibly because it rings true.
9) Unforgettable... I grew up with this music and Nat was King.
10) Metal Guru... My sister was a big T-Rex fan in those days. RIP Marc.
