Our bookclub went through a phase of rostering someone each month to present their "Top Ten Books" list. It was agonising for me to select as I had at least a top 30. Haven't stopped to register 'God Only Knows' before, but now I know everytime I hear it, I'll remember I love it. Beautiful song.

Nope, probably top 30 songs- and they'd vary according to the day you asked! That said - remember Courtney who was on Australian idol a few years back - he did a version of God Only Knows that just MELTS MY HEART! Great song. Yep - I'm another fan of Evlis Costello's Veronica - but am currently earwormed by Accidents Will Happen and Oliver's Army as well; and of course - I could make a top 10 just of Billy Bragg songs...

I find I can't remember them off the top of my head very well. I'm more likely to be able to look at my music collection and name a favourite song from each album - if I did this I may then be able to par it down a bit. I'm much better at naming my top ten books - but I still have to stand in front of my bookshelves! I have a very bad long term memory ;-) Though a song that really effects me at the moment is by Neil and Tim Finn "Won't Give In" (from their album Everyone is Here). It was used in the Love My Way TV series. I have calmed down lately and can listen to it without crying - just. Like twolimeleaves said - I'm not a big BB devotee but those two songs are definitely very good. Top ten songs would be very hard for me to pin down.

Top 10 places we are glad we don't live. Top 10 meals. Top 10 songs. Top 5 famous people we are allowed to 'sleep with' if the opportunity arose (Heehee) - the list goes on. You have to do these things. Makes life more interesting hey? We have top 10’s and Top 5’s around here too. Top 10 places we are glad we don’t live. Top 10 meals. Top 10 songs.

Are you Libran by any chance? I'm also amazed that after all that loud, Triple J music you've linked us to over the blogs that The Beach Boys come in at Number One and Number One. Did not see that coming AT ALL! I couldn't possibly nominate, (unless we started categorising [top 10 singing songs, top ten dancing etc) but I have opbserved at tap classes that if I ever play some Neil Diamond from the Hot August Night soundtrack, <i>everyone</i> looks happy. And starts toe-tapping and singing. Who'da thunkit? Kirsty, I love "Veronica" too, and amazingly, just last night (!!) I was thinking I should download to the ipod and of course, iTunes don't have it! rats. That is so funny about having 30 items (or so) in your Top 10. Are you Libran by any chance?
