I been thinking about my list. i have decided that it will feature 25 tunes that stick out, from during my lifetime. (probably thats what the whole point of this exercise is about haha) The majority will be from 60s up to the 90s. But each song will have played a part in my life, along the journey. Im trying to avoid using u2 tunes
Each and every one of these songs listed, played a MASSIVE role, in shaping my musical taste, when i was younger. Hence why there are no post 90s tunes
1. Cars - Gary Numan (the first song in the charts, that i really recall falling in love with, aged 9)
2. Chance - Big Country
3. Town Called Malice/ Start - The Jam (the first ever record i lay claim to)
4. She Sells Sanctuary - The Cult (I recall thinking this was u2, knowing they had new material due)
5. Seperate Ways - Elvis (i heard this tune aged about 4 and recall feeling very moved by it)
6. Love Like Blood - The Killing Joke
7. The Maker - Daniel Lanois (I heard this around 1988-89ish and loved it, but didnt know of the u2 link)
8. Blue Monday - New Order (Specifically the 12" version)
9. Get Back - The Beatles (The Beatles were played a whole lot, in my home, growing up)
10. Fortunate Son - CCR
11. Purple Rain - Prince
12. Born To Run - Bruce Springsteen
13. Pretty Vacant - Sex Pistols
