Top 10 Singles Reviews

I am quite a lover of good music, and I have eclectic tastes too; so I thought I'd suggest a few tunes for you guys to peruse at your leisure. Its glorious sunny weather here in Southend-on-Sea, and I'm in the mood for some music therapy. Here is my current top 10 favourite singles. I say 'current', because I am quite changeable in my ...

Confession - Ok - here is where I fail with this category...My life is populated with songs that mean something to me, or remind me of certain points in my life (as with everyone, I'm sure) so, forgive me for not abiding by the '10 favourite songs' criteria. I had to name a few extra ones, not just 10 (and that's not even the full ...

Listening to music over the years I believe that my taste in tunes has changed when I was younger I was totally drawn to adrenalin pumping music young people tend to go for house/dance or rock/indie type or perhaps rap/r&b music with energy and youth appeal. I think as you mature you become more refined and hear more and more eventually you ...

1 - Last Christmas, Wham! When you start hearing this song, you actually feel the Christmas spirit building up inside of you. Slightly corny lyrics, but who was better than Wham! at their peak? 2 - Imagine, John Lennon I heard a quote from Jimmy Carter (former US president) a while back: "In many countries around the ...

10. The Beach Boys - "Wouldn't It Be Nice" Wonderfully wistful and beautifully produced, "Wouldn't It Be Nice" is surely the Beach Boys' best song. "Good Vibrations" and "Surfin' USA" seem to get all the recognition but for me, nothing beats the upbeat nostalgia of this one. 9. Tom Petty ...

I have recently been composing a list of my top 100 songs. There are some basic rules to ensure your list is as varied as possible, such as only 1 song per band, and only 1 version of any song. I am currently as far as 75, but my Top 10 songs are listed below. I also have written an old top 10 albums review from about 5 years ago so will be ...

I have quite basic taste in music - many people will cringe at some of my choices, but that's what they are - MY choices. I hope they ring bells for some of you and hopefully not too bad bells!! Here goes… …in no particular order, as I can't choose my fave song; the others will feel left out! #10 Being With ...

There are so many great songs. I start with the best song ever Imagine. Imagine is a beautiful song by John Lennon. It inspires hope and peace. In many countries it is played at political functions like an anthem. Absolutely fabulous lyrics, I don't think anything can top Imagine. Bohemian Rhapsody by Queen is ...

Only ten? How hard is that! I decided that I had to do this review quickly, or I would never be able to settle on only 10 songs. The tracks I have chosen are all personal favourites of mine that remind me of a particular point in my life and which touch me in some way, which I think is the whole point of music. My musical tastes are fairly wide ...

I have always enjoyed a wide and varied taste in music. But over the years, it seems that I have always come back to much the same dozen or so artists for those moments of magic or comfort. As I've aged, I've found it harder to acknowledge new acts as exceptional. I thought I'd have a go at listing my all time top ten. Ask me another ...

Bit bored today, fancy a bit of a no-brainer after all my stories of Egypt (which dooyoo still haven't added yet)! So I thought I would take a bit of a break & do my top 10 songs ever, also I find it quite interesting to see who listens to what, it gives you quite an insight into what people are like! Headings are arranged Artist, ...

My favourites of the moment briefly described in no particular order: 1. – Changes – Bowie – This has always been one of my favourite Bowie songs from when I first listened to his collection many years ago, although there are many others I could have chosen. "Changes" was taken from the album Hunky Dory but surprisingly did ...

How difficult is this? Trying to narrow down my favourite songs into a list of only 10. I have a very varied taste in music. It has been described as the music collection of a romantic nutcase and upon reflection I have to say that I agree! With a collection that comprises Mozart and Puccini to Queen and Madness I’m having a difficult ...

My top 10 singles of all time - It's been very interesting reading the many ops out there on members favourite songs of all time . Such a varied selection , but all writers have one thing in common , their love of Music . I've had to think very long and hard in choosing just 10 song titles , and in doing so , have set ...

As soon as I saw this discussion in Speaker's Corner, I knew I had to write it. Why, oh why, did I begin this impossible quest? I have over 3,000 songs in my iTunes library, and that's even with some getting lost along the way. Do I choose a list of well-known songs so that you can understand where I'm coming from? Do I ...

You know in an hour’s time, I’ll be going how did I miss that one? It’s all very subjective, I know but here goes…no particular order. Going Underground - The Jam My favourite song by my favourite band, the clipped, stuttering, metallic intro still makes me clench my fist and mutter ‘Yes!’ under my breath if it comes on a pub ...

Here are my top tunes - so hard to do this. Friday I'm in love - The Cure Who has not listened to this song when in love, no matter what the day and felt good? A great song, so happy-sounding. I love the riffs and the harmonies make me think of sun/beaches. Woman - John Lennon This is a very romantic ...

Here are my top tunes - so hard to do this. Friday I'm in love - The Cure who has not listened to this song when in love, no matter what the day and felt great?! It's a great song, so happy, love the riffs and the harmonies make me think of sun-soaked beaches and people in love. Woman - John Lennon This is such a romantic song ...

Ah, the '80's. The new romantics, the death of punk, the appearence of Ska and the emergence of the original musical Wolfram & Hart, or as they are more typically known Stock, Aiken and Waterman. The '80s saw some high points in music as well as the depths of deviance typified by "The locomotion" - a criminal record if there ever was ...

So then, a top ten singles list?! Never will we be all able to agree on a set ten, which makes it even more fun. Where on earth do you start?! New music? Old music? A specific genre? Do you stick to just a few bands, or try and find a different band for each song?! God knows! But personally, I think it's great way to discover new music...so here's ...
