It is 8pm Saturday.<\/p>\n
My companion and I are eating some awesome pizza, salad and fried spiced potato in a restaurant on the Via Vittorio Veneto.<\/p>\n
It is a balmy 18c in central Rome.<\/p>\n
The topic of Top Five comes up.<\/p>\n
Top five books, are easily dealt with, though my choice of Robert A Heinlein’s ‘Glory Road’ as number one brought a puzzled glance.<\/p>\n
I chose to cheat at the top five films; went in very low with ‘Groundhog Day’ and followed that with a\u00a0stratospherically high ‘Intacto’, then quickly followed with ‘It’s a Wonderful Life’, ‘A Matter of Life And Death’ and floundered around for a number five.<\/p>\n
But the top five albums?<\/p>\n
Pink Floyd’s ‘The Wall’ was an easy first place. Pink Floyd’s ‘Dark Side Of The Moon’ was equally easy. And then ‘Wish You Were Here’ by Pink Floyd. Then quickly on to ‘The Final Cut’ by, erm, Pink Floyd and suddenly, I realised, we had a problem.<\/p>\n
My companion, sympathetic and quick-witted, came to my aid with a ‘You could have every album by Pink Floyd as one of your top five’.<\/p>\n
Phew!<\/p>\n
Crisis averted.<\/p>\n
We finished the wine, talked more, left the restaurant and walked, arm-in-arm, through the far-too-warm-for-November-night-time-air and headed, slowly, through the trees and the people towards the hotel.<\/p>\n
And as we walked and talked, I tried to figure out if ‘Me\u00f0 Su\u00f0 \u00cd Eyrum Vi\u00f0 Spilum Endalaust’ would be my number two or number three album.<\/p>\n
