I wasn’t sure how to start this whole thing off so I thought it would be a good idea to start it with a positive jam and reveal my top 50 favourite songs, so hold steady!
They’re in alphabetical order because that’s the fairest and easiest way, some songs are obviously more important than others but numbering is such a cruel fate, especially to those songs who would find themselves in the low 40s.
I’ll probably come back and change it at some point but for now, here it is:

Just leaving a post to christen the site. I think everyone should have ’74 ’75 as their top 50 song as a rule.
Just leaving a reply.
The list of music looks very comprehensive even though being a golden oldie I have not heard of most of the musicians!!!
I keep meaning to do this, and have got as far as making a playlist on itunes to drag loved songs in, but it’s too damn hard. So well done for being able to do it, albeit not ranked 😉
Now I would consider making a list of my top 50, but given that whenever you introduce me to a band I immediately run away and buy everything they’ve ever released, so it might simply be easier to claim your top 50 as pretty much the same as mine. Laaaaaaazzzzzyyyyyyy.
