how odd, i don't really like any of those songs.
it would be bloody hard for me to pick my top 10 songs...

[mcmurphy79.livejournal.com]

Yeah it was tough but I think that's pretty much the fave list.

[mcmurphy79.livejournal.com]

Not even the Clash or the Who? Gloomy Sunday is genius. Let there be love is the most lovely song in the world. don't even get me started on faster or rock the nation.

nah.. i have a problem with old production.

[mcmurphy79.livejournal.com]

I'd sell my mother to be able to see The Clash.

The Who are the most amazing band live,they really have so much energy and I still fancy Rodger when he's on stage.

I love that old sound. Like Bob Marley it's best listened to on vinyl. That's a point I haven't put redemption song on there - that would be number 11

shock no Ben Christophers.

My journal I'll do what I like!

[phantomlimb.livejournal.com]

you just wanna hide your poor choices..

[mcmurphy79.livejournal.com]

Balls. Those are WICKED Choices

I don't know any of those songs, but I'm guessing since the manics are there I probably wont like them since I hate the manics...

but we all have our own tastes :o)

I can't believe u don't know the smiths or clash songs! Shame on you. You MUST know 'Let there be love'.

It's quite a mix really. The Manics are perhaps the most extreme thing on there. Billy holiday is blues/jazz and Franti is sort of ska/reggae/rocky stuff.
