Been looking through this section and we have the 1000 list etc, but nothing about our own personal favourites.

So in this thread (in high fidelity style) you list your top 5 songs, AND your top 5 albums. No more. No less.

Obviously the list may change from day to day, so just do your current top 5.

I think wake up is in my top 10 songs ever, not sure if it makes it into my top 5 though

Well these are the rules tm. Don't blame me, blame nick hornby! AND i did say that the list will obviously change...

I'm still thinking on mine... will put something up tomorrow!

The Masterâ„¢

Ironic remains one of my favourite songs... Mid-teens I think...

I am blaming you, not Nick Hornby - and he wouldn't be anywhere near ANY of my top 100's!!!

Are you also looking at any particular genre of music???

I've got Classical, 50's, 60's, 70's, 80's, punk, SKA/Two Tone, Blues, Jazz, Motown, Classical Rock, Heavy Rock, Metal, Heavy Metal, Silly, Movie Soundtracks...



This is almost as bad a list of 5 favourite movies... Jeez, that nearly ended up with a virtual punch-up... Had to do one for each genre.. And that ended up with about 50 movies...

Spook

1. I Wanna Be Adored By The Stone Roses
2. We Die Young By Alice in Chains
3. Their Law By The Prodigy

hahaha, stop being awkward! just do what jonzey, rosemary and spook did! they had no problems with choosing 5! but if you want to choose 80 songs and 80 albums and then write them down then its your choice!!!! its just your top 5 albums and top 5 songs! be a man and make a choice!!!

Rosemary

Now that is a challenge if ever I heard one

Well I'll give it a whirl - like you said, it's pretty much the top five of the day, it's not like I'm never going to listen to anything else again! Actually what the hell - I'll even commit to these having been the top tunes of my week. See that? Who says men avoid commitment?
