Canaboid

Well what is it. I'll post mine in a bit, i'm still mulling it over.

Urgh! Impossible question! Depends on what im listening to. At the moment it would be Grace from jeff Buckly(sorry lucutus), or Grassman from dodgy has always been a favourite or...the list goes on...

Arrrrrgghh!!!... LOL!

The song was 'Rock Me Baby' and a quick web search tells me it was sung by "Riva", the Yugoslav entry and WINNERS (ba$tards!) in the 1989 Eurovision Song Contest, and damn, but do I remember it well... simply because of how you and I acted like complete twits when the song came on (well... we WERE kids...).

It just HAD to win, didn't it?

Does anyone actually care what anyone else's favourite song of all time is (or indeed a long list of songs that they like [all the songs they've ever heard perhaps. Sometimes appears so]) or is this just an excuse to tell other people what YOU like? For me, I am taking this as an opportunity for the latter:

Van Morrison - Sweet Thing
Terry Callier - Ordinary Joe
John Coltrane - My Favourite Things
Nina Simone('s version of Leonard Cohen's) - Suzanne

These are all that my access to my memory allows at the moment and do not expect an update at any later date.

Cake Fiend

New Order - Blue Monday
