Thursday Thirteen – classy songs

Michele’s got me the idea for this one, it’s a Thursday Thirteen made up of songs I like the most. I’ve set myself a rule though, only one song from an artist, so I can get lots of artists on here. Otherwise it would be all Alisha’s Attic.

1 – Alisha’s Attic – The Incidentals. Guaranteed to melt the hardest heart 🙂
2 – The Bangles – Return Post. Not on their greatest hits, which is a crime.
3 – Crowded House – Four Seasons in One Day. Even when you’re feeling low, like four seasons in one day.
4 – Pink Floyd – Wish You Were Here. The whole album is an amazing tribute to Syd Barrett, this one is the highlight.
5 – All About Eve – Martha’s Harbour. Also check out their Scarlet and Apple Tree Man. (bit of a slow-loader that one)
6 – Kate Bush – The Man With the Child In His Eyes. And Aerial shows she’s still well worth listening to 27 years after.
7 – Edie Brickell – Ghost of a Dog. Weepy one …
8 – Tori Amos – Silent All These Years. First track I heard from Tori, still my favourite.
9 – The Beatles – Eleanor Rigby.
10 – Suzanne Vega – Machine Ballerina. Didn’t think much of this one at first, really like it now.
(can’t find an audio/video – this one is on the Songs In Red And Grey album)
11 – ABBA – Happy New Year.
12 – Clannad – Fado. Laid back Clannad, heavenly Maire Brennan vocals.
13 – Led Zeppelin – Stairway to Heaven.

So that’s 13 artists/groups who I adore. There’s people missing though. There’s no Peter Gabriel up there and nothing by Mark Knopfler. The ABBA song could have been any of at least 10 of their’s. I also listen to a lot of Garbage (the Shirley Manson headed group!) and some classical.

CK might like to check out I Will Find You by Clannad – it’s the theme tune to Last of the Mohicans.

Yey – I have the Thursday Thirteen code again 🙂
