Elliott Smith, Miss Misery. He is probably one of the most under-recognised artists of his time. Tragic story too. Great song.

Good call, I love falling asleep to that! And it puts me in mind of my other favourite: that station's theme whch they used to play in the morning. The mix of Early One Morning, Rule Britannia, Londonderry Air, Annie Laurie, What Shall We Do with the Drunken Sailor?, Greensleeves, Men of Harlech and Scotland the Brave. Though not all at once sadly :pac:. The way the songs fade into other is brilliant. It's played really gently and poignantly, and doesn't sound at all triumphalist or overblown, which usually puts me off a few of those songs.

Exit by u2 is great,always catches me unawares.Must dig out joshua tree.Bullet the blue sky also really grabs me.Then there's mastodon's iron tusk or march of the fire ants-both have crushing intros and never fail to get my attention.

Many Rivers to Cross - Jimmy Cliff

He played this at Glastonbury on Friday. I had to stop and put everything down for it. Hopefully, it'll be repeated in the highlights

Reef - Consideration

Marvin Gaye - Inner City Blues

U2 - Original of the species

Eric Clapton - Old Love (although his gig was ****e and he didnt play it!!!!)

pq0n1ct4ve8zf5

I always have one of those songs on the go...right now it's "Perfect Fit" by Dresden Dolls, previous ones have been "Troy" by Sinead O Connor (hate her, but it's an amazing song), "I Want You" by Elvis Costelloe, and "A Day In The Life" by the beatles (listening to that one now actually )

sure sure

I really love 'Wish you were here' by Pink Floyd, really thugs at the heart strings.. for something more recent and upbeat 'I found you' by Axwell...

Life on Mars - David Bowie of course.
River Deep Mountain High - Tina Turner (up high with good speakers)
Running up that Hill- Kate Bush, although the Placebo version is very good.
Sleeping Rough - Paddy McAloon
Song to the Siren -This Mortal Coil
Dance-Rui Da Silva - Touch me- the original vinyl mix
Who wants to live forever by Dune is actually strangely weird but beautiful. (it's done with the London Syphony Orchestra).
Dead can Dance - the Carnival is Over.

I could really go on.. but I wont.

The Chromatics version is sooooo much better

At the moment I'm loving:

Creedance Clearwater Revival - Have You Ever Seen The Rain
Pink Floyd - Fearless

All good songs that I like to listen to (Next week it could be different, but at the moment, these are the tunes I'm listening to).

I love that song, have you listened to Frau? Also quite amazing.

Comfortably Numb by Floyd. That last guitar solo still gives me shivers! And I'll never be able to play it, it haunts me for a lot of reasons!

Freebird by Lynyrd Skynyrd. Just speaks of the open road and freedom.
