I know we don't all have the same taste in music but I am fed up of the same old songs on my shuffle and I am listening to it a lot during the last few weeks of pg .

Just looking for some new ideas .

TIA

billy Jean - Micheal jackson
Lullaby - Lemar

Couldn't say favourites because they change all the time and I don't have a favourite atm.

But I got an itunes giftcard for my birthday and things I am thinking of getting:
Albums,
Paul Simon- Graceland
The Violent Femmes- The Violent Femmes
A Police compilation

I also am a sucker for naff crap and have a serious Barry Manilow problem just now.

Stevie Wonder - Masterblaster

Lou Reed - Coney Island Baby

Gnarls Barkly - Crazy

Comewhinewithme · 11/04/2009 15:25

Thankyou I forgot about Gnarls Barkly .

I am also a sucker for cheesy music and have a bad westlife habit.

.....'could you be the one' by Husker Du, 'and when she was bad' by Cinerama.

A 'big up' to the suggestion of the first Violent Femmes LP too. It's a marvel.....
