Cheers £50 quid, I was reading down this thread and thinking " I dunno if I wish I'd wrote any song". BUT, you made me see there is one.

Gorecki's 3rd symphony, particularly the 2nd movement, it's possible the most powerful, most clearly communicative peice of music ever written, albeit, it communicates a tragedy brought on by a great evil.

Whey hey, this is difficult.............

Both Sides Now - Joni Mitchell Embarrassment - Madness God Only Knows - Beach Boys Why - Annie Lennox I Scare Myself - Thomas Dolby Watching the Wheels - John Lennon Forbidden City - dunno who sang that......... The doughnut song - Bob Marley
