Music Challenge: Day 09/2016

A song from my favourite band

 

I don’t have *a* favourite band. I have a number of favourite bands.

And they cross musical genre boundaries as easily as a kangaroo on speed pogos through the Australian musical outback.

Usually my all-time top favourite band is Pink Floyd, but yesterday my iPod delivered a song that, whenever I hear it, I have to sit down and listen hard, and concentrate on it.

And oh, how I wish I could play it.

As well as being a great song, this is, I believe, a guitarist’s song, and a musician’s song. This is…

Dire Straits, Private Investigations

  1. Ah, now you are using the original list!. The updated list is the “Personality” entry. Can the umpire please make a decision as to which list we are following! šŸ™‚

    1. Oh bugger. I apologise for any confusion that might be caused by my own, er, confusion.

    1. It was going so well, but it was inevitable that I’d muck it up somewhere along the line. I vote that you run this exercise next year.

      1. That aside, can we confirm which list we are using?
        I’m working to the ‘updated’ list. Can we stick with that?

        1. I got:

          A song from a band that I hate
          A song that is a guilty pleasure
          A song that no-one would expect me to love
          A song that I used to love but now hate
          A song that I hear too often on the radio
          A song that I wish I heard more often on the radio
          A song from a favourite album
          A song that I listen to when I’m angry
          A song that I listen to when I’m happy
          A song that I listen to when I’m sad
          A song that I want played at my wedding
          A song that I want played at my funeral
          A song that makes me laugh
          A song that I can play on an instrument
          A song that I wish I could play on an instrument
          A song from my childhood
          A song I would give to my offspring
          A song to listen to at the end of a tough day
          My favourite song from the last decade
          A song that fits my personality
          My all-time favourite song
          A song I’ve heard from someone else, that I like

          Sorry.

  2. Depending on mood it would be Private Investigations or Romeo & Juliet for me. Or possibly Sultans of Swing.
