This one is a bit like "Desert Island Discs" only a couple of rules:

> You are only allowed to pick 20 songs
> You are only allowed one song per artist/band

So these are going to be your absolute favourite songs and will probably overlap with the other thread, only this time you can have a couple of artists who all begin with the same letter.

Here is mine:

Aztec Camera - Somewhere In My Heart
Beatles - Across The Universe
Buzzcocks - Ever Fallen In Love?
David Bowie - Changes
Eagles - Hotel California
The Jam - Down In The Tube Station At Midnight
Bobby Darin - Fabulous Places
Manics - Motorcycle Emptiness
Oasis - Supersonic
Queen - Bicycle Ride
R.E.M - Electrolite
Rolling Stones - Wild Horses
Steve Harley & Cockney Rebel - Make Me Smile
They Might Be Giants - Birdhouse In Your Soul
Train - Drops of Jupiter
U2 - Angel of Harlem
The Undertones - My Perfect Cousin
Waterboys - Whole of the Moon
Kinks - Lola
The Guess Who - American Woman

Right, I've narrowed it down to 40.....twice the number I'm allowed...

(At least it's keeping me busy.)

Aww, I hate getting rid of them...I feel like I'm betraying the artists...

But anyway, here's the 20:

Annie Lennox - Walking on Broken Glass
Aretha Franklin - Think
Beautiful South - Good as Gold (Stupid as Mud)
Blondie - Sunday Girl
Cissy Houston - I Just Don't Know What to Do with Myself
Diana Ross and the Supremes and the Temptations - I'm Gonna Make You Love Me
Dionne Warwick - You've Lost That Loving Feeling
Etta James - At Last
Ewan McGregor and Nicole Kidman - Come What May
Freda Payne - Band of Gold
Jackson Five - I'll Be There
Janis Joplin - Piece of My Heart
Les Miserables - Master of the House
Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrell - Ain't No Mountain High Enough
Otis Redding - Try a Little Tenderness
Queen - Somebody to Love
Sandy Shaw - Always Something There to Remind Me
Smokey Robinson and the Miracles - The Tracks of My Tears
The Beatles - Here, There and Everywhere
Thelma Houston - Don't Leave Me This Way

Errr - two by Oasis and two by Train - how is that 1 per artist?
