10 songs that define you.

[Yeah but 0]

This is not a list of my favourite songs but they take me to a time and place.  I could have included dozens and dozens but I've whittled it down to ten.

 

Innuendo - Queen. https://youtu.be/g2N0TkfrQhY 

I was mesmerised by this song as an 11 year old. I taped it off the radio and listened to it repeatedly.

 

 

So Real - Love Decade. https://youtu.be/JG95V2o195I 

In the charts around the same time as Innuendo; when I hear it I'm 11 and in my bedroom again. I taped this off the radio and listened to it a lot as well.

 

Annie's Song - John  Denver. https://youtu.be/RNOTF-znQyw

My mother used to play John Denver songs all the time when I was a kid. This one I remember fondly.

 

Slow It Down - East 17. https://youtu.be/wElMM3huvDk

 

Bitty Mclean - Dedicated To  The One I Love. https://youtu.be/VMTLDKbmlEs

Takes me back to the carefree summer of 1993 when I was 13.

 

Tsunami - Manic  Street Preachers. https://youtu.be/cuGpE73NwYw

This is one of the songs that got me through a lonely period.

 

My Way - Limp Bizkit.  https://youtu.be/WvnzxeqCpcw

I played this in the car when I first started driving around 2001. At the time I misheard the lyric "my way or the highway" as "my way ON the highway".

 

James Blunt - High https://youtu.be/c3c6M2cohns.

 

Will young - Who Am I? https://youtu.be/hR4kZ8-qrFI

 

Starman film theme song  - https://youtu.be/nip7k0m08PM

God knows. Ask the wife. Or family. Or friends. Or enemies. People see your best and worst sides far more than you can see them in yourself. Stands to reason. I wouldn't dare to try to pick songs that define me. Easier to ask my 10 favourites - and seeing as I've been collecting music since the mid-60s, I may take some time to get back to you...

Can't see you getting many replies to this one chum.
