I got this idea from another forum, but I think it's a good one.

Name one track from each of your 5 favourite bands/artists that gives the best impression of what they are all about.

I'll take that up....

1) Liberty by Steve Vai....balls-to-the-wall guitar, bass and drums and a cracking tune....

2) Recipe for Love by Harry Connick, Jnr....still probably the best living big-band singer and this is catchy, no nonsense dinner party stuff - Sinatra eat your heart out....

3) Open Up - The Dirty Dozen Brass Band...rarely heard in the UK but great, funky, screamin', low down bare-bones funk.

4) Superstition - Stevie Wonder....just....'cos I had to put a Stevie Wonder song in here somewhere and they don't come any better than this.....

5) Escape/Chase/Saying Goodbye from ET - The Extra Terrestrial by John Williams...a legend of a piece from a legend of film-scoring - this is as good as it gets....15 minutes of adventure, wonder, joy and tears....

Sod.

Hmmm I have well over 5 favourite artists but i'll see what comes into my head.


Blur-Chemical World
The White Stripes-Icky Thump
Ash-Burn Baby Burn
The Electric Soft Parade-If Thats The Case Then I Don't Know
Milburn(I have to put these cos i'm a mod on there official forum)-What You Could Have Won.


Wouldn't say these are my fave 5 bands(although 2 or 3 would be in there) but it's a good mixture of what reflects my lifetime faves and my current listening.

slipknot heretics anthem
incubus wish you were here
