As the Swede said about going through an artist phase, I was heavily into Talk Talk at the time so that definitely has sway. It was a track that I first heard when I was 17 and 'they' the songs you hear between the ages of 16-22 stay with you forever. A big factor is not just how good the song is as a whole but what I was doing/feeling at the time and I was on Geography field trip/holiday in the UK on my own. So have that sense of independence was a big factor too. I say to myself it should be a Hip Hop track from Public Enemy or something as that is the type of music I grew up with but it's not necessarily the case. It'll change I'm sure depending on what memory I choose to revisit. Incidentally 'Life's What You Make It' was out at the same time the Stone Roses came onto the scene and Fool's Gold blew my mind. Damn, I don't think I'll play this game. flycasualhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11216911927644223730noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29773053816846131.post-18387395950470761122013-10-17T23:31:36.932+01:002013-10-17T23:31:36.932+01:00I'm with you OP, okay I don't have your mu...I'm with you OP, okay I don't have your musical depth but in moments like this I always remember a quote that Chris Evans said in his Radio One days. It went something like "that's one of my top ten records of all time. However there are about 50 songs in my top ten" If I can paraphrase Arthur Lee, my favourite song 'Forever Changes".<br />Oh and pointless is my favourite TV show, so a pointless post can only be a good thing in my eyes.

Who amongst us...Not a pointless post at all Old Pa. Who amongst us music lovers hasn't been asked 'the big question'? I know have, on many occasions, but have never been able to answer it definitively - so I admire the fact that you can. I daren't think about it for too long, otherwise I'll be awake all night!<br /><br />The nearest I got was a couple of years ago, when I submitted an entry to Mark Radcliffe's 'First, Last & Everything' feature on his Radio 2 show. You have to name the first record you ever purchased (mine was 'Sweet Talkin' Guy' by The Chiffons), the last record you bought (at the time mine was a track from the War on Drugs LP, 'Slave Ambient') and the record that means everything to you. I was deep in a Nic Jones phase at the time, so I chose 'Little Musgrave', a masterful performance that I can quite happily play over and over. Favourite song ever though? I couldn't commit to that!The Swedehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13237251779370596904noreply@blogger.com
