3 musical selections

It's just so you can find your own posts later, gulligranny. Makes them stand out from the crowd.

Any comments you make will show up in mauve to you, gulligranny. It doesn't show to anyone else. I think its just to highlight to you what you've written.

Nanasam, I've chosen one (so far) for my funeral and it's
'My Way' - I can't stand either the song or the singer....!

Waterloo sunset - best song ever
Purple rain - RIP Prince ?
Relax FGTH - defy anyone not to dance to it

Bonfire Heart.....James Blunt. Moving On......Abba. Love changes Everything......Michael Ball.

I agree about Credence Clearwater but I would choose Back in Lodi again. It describes that feeling you get when you thought you were getting somewhere but find yourself back where you started from.
Probably Eternity by Robbie Williams.
I'll have to think about the third.

Walk of Life by Dire Straits
Always Look on the Bright Side of Life - Monty Python
Better When we're together by Jack Johnston

Nimrod - Elgar (from Enigma Variations) - very soul stirring

Waterloo Sunset - Kinks (any of theirs songs though)

I love to Boogie - Marc Bolan

So hard to choose just three though!

Today I would like 'jeepster' - T.Rex.
'California dreaming' - the mamas and papas
'Virginia plain' - Roxy music.

Whiter Shade of Pale :Procul Harum
Forever Young: written by Bob Dylan but sung by Joan Baez please
The God of Loss by Darlingside

"California Girls" by the Beach Boys.
Frank Sinatra singing "Witchcraft" and "The Tender Trap".
"Mambo No. 5." Lou Bega.

If it were altogether a more somber affair, it would have to be Jessie Norman singing the Leibestod from Wagner's Tristan and Isolde; Mozart's "Laudate Dominum"; and Joan Baez singing "River in the Pines".

Wild is the Wind Nina Simone,
Working on the Highway Bruce Springsteen, Hallelujah Leonard Cohen

Not all that cheerful but it's my party and ...

Well today it would be

Sympathy with the Devil- Stones
I predict a Riot- Kaiser Chiefs
Diamonds &Rust- Joan Baez

but tomorrow it would probably be completely different.
I never know how the 'Castaways' on Desert island Discs get it down to only 8!!

Imagine being stuck on a desert island thinking "Damn! Wish I had chosen that other song!'

Like everyone, three is just not enough!

Here comes the night - Van Morrison
Summer of 69 - Bryan Adams
Needle in a haystack - The Marvellettes (? Not sure but love the song!!)

The Chorus of the Hebrew Slaves from Nabucco
Layla - Derek and the Dominoes
All I really wanna do - The Byrds

At least that's the current selection, could change tomorrow or in a few minutes......

Whiskey in the jar, Thin Lizzy
Rock and roll, Led Zeppelin
Bullfrog blues, Rory Gallagher, for now , I have loads, I'd need a 2 week party,,

Livin on a prayer...Bon jovi. .......can't help myself.Four tops.........destiny.Lionel Richie.would be my choice,but as everyone says its difficult as I also like the Stones,Fleetwood Mac etc etc

Well, this is much too difficult so I'm going to resort to 'top of my head' stuff and undoubtedly want to amend it regularly.

Thank you for the music (Abba)
The very thought of you (Nat King Cole)
With a song in my heart (Ella Fitzgerald)

Bed of roses-Jon Bon Jovi
If- Jack Jones
Love Changes Everything - Michael Ball.
Really needed more than three though!

I bet you now all really want a party thrown in your honour, I know that I do!
I thought that 3 may concentrate your minds on what you
Really want, should be change it to 6?Yes, I think we should.
So, what 6 selections will you now choose? No more than that mind, or we will be here all day.
My new list now reads:
Blue Bayou by Roy Orbison
The Boxer by Simon and Garfunkel
Bad Moon Rising by Credence Clearwater Revival
Sultans of Swing by Dire Straits
Hey Jude by The Beatles
We Will Rock You by Queen

"California Girls" by the Beach Boys.
Frank Sinatra singing "Witchcraft" and "The Tender Trap".
"Mambo No. 5." Lou Bega.

Anyone spotted I have four already ? So I will just have two more.
"Chains" Fleetwood Mac.
"In the Mood" Glenn Miller.

Mine would be The Crowd by Roy Orbison
To love somebody by Michael Bolton
The drinking song from The student Prince by Mario Lanza

Let there be love by Nat King Cole.
I have dreamed from the king and I by Frank Sinatra.
Over the rainbow by Eva Cassidy.
Tons of others, but it would go on an on.
