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
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! š
Oh bugger. I apologise for any confusion that might be caused by my own, er, confusion.
And it was all going so well. š
Private Investigations is probably my fave Straits song.
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.
That aside, can we confirm which list we are using?
I’m working to the ‘updated’ list. Can we stick with that?
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 Iām angry
A song that I listen to when Iām happy
A song that I listen to when Iām 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.
OK. All back on the same hymn sheet.
Depending on mood it would be Private Investigations or Romeo & Juliet for me. Or possibly Sultans of Swing.
