I've always had a lot of favourite songs. On a night out, where there is a DJ, you'll hear me say, "I LOVE this song!" at least ten times...if the DJ is a good one. And by good one I mean one that plays my favourite songs, like Greggie DJ (he's my brother!)
Songs not only get stuck in my head, but stuck in my soul as well. When I hear them, something switches on inside and makes me feel gooooood. There are so many songs that I love. So many songs that mean something to me, take me back, take me to another place. So here is my list of

Did I miss any??
And what I really want to know is...
Which one/s did you click on?
PS Lucy just sent me this link via Twitter. I have to add it. How cool is this???
Footloose
haha i love that Hanson was in there. I used to love them! LOL I wonder where they are now?
ReplyDeleteJackson 5 - I Want You Back for me. I'm a shameless MJ fan and I can honestly say if he hadn't died, I don't think I'd be doing what I'm doing now.
ReplyDeleteI really love Cher's Gypsys Tramps and Thieves

I'd be here all night if I started clicking!!
ReplyDeleteLove that music :)
So much 80s - I love it!! Lots of great stuff to dance to!
ReplyDeleteThea, do you have spyware on my computer? You stole my list. Poppity pop (especially of the 80's variety) is my thing. LOVE YOUR LIST! xx
ReplyDeleteFabulous list! So many of my faves on there too.
ReplyDeleteShamelessly, I clicked on Belinda Carlisle, Bucks Fizz and Wham!
A couple that would have rounded out the list for me:

Nice list! When I saw A-ha in the list I thought of this: A-ha - Take On Me (Literal Version)
ReplyDeleteI also posted my own top songs list recently - somehow managing to reduce the list to 7 (Plus 3 bonus tracks... gotta have bonus tracks.)
Wham - I don't want your freedom, I don't want to play around.
ReplyDeleteTakes me right back to when George ws straight and I was teasing the bejesus out of my fringe. :)
Apart from Nikki Webster's Strawberry Kisses i love nearly all of them. No wonder we rocked shooters so easily together!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks you so many memories....good and interesting.
Please add for me Hunters and Collectors, Throw your arms around me....so many memories, so many......
