FUN FUN FUN

So you all know how I love music, yes??

Well, a little while ago ~S~ and I were talking about our shared love of music and we decided that we were going to put together some CD's of the favourite music from our lives. I should clarify that this was her clever idea - I was simply an eager participant, it doesn't take much capture my interests where music is concerned.

So, the idea is this - 3 CD's, one for the 1970's, one for the 1980's and one for the 1990's. I have the 'task' (it's not a task at all, it's a delight) of putting together 3 CD's to give her, and in turn she will make 3 CD's for me.

This is where the fun begins. I have over 600 tracks stored on my PC, and a CD collection that would rival most professional DJ's. I am a music whore. And I have very wide and very eclectic tastes - there's everything, absolutely everything. So whittling it down to just 3 CDs, which is about 60 songs, is proving almost impossible.

Today, I've played with the 1970's and I have to choose around 20 tracks for this decade. I enlisted the help of my mum's equally large music collection for this. Even being conservative I've got a shortlist so far of 37 songs and I'm far from done. And these were the years that I spent most of my time in a pram! My real musical awareness started in the 1980's - I just cannot even begin to imagine how hard a task it will be to choose just 20 songs from those years.

This is where I think I need your help - because I may have missed a blindingly good song - leave me a comment with your favourite songs from the 1970's, 1980's and 1990's. The more the merrier.

And I'll let you know what makes the final cut - and why - when ~S~ has my collection safely in her hands.
