I thought I would ask you all to compile your own list of 10 favourite pieces of music. I'm still doing this - it's harder than you think - but I will post mine when I've done it. Get your thinking caps on. They can be popular or classical or a mix. Go for it folks.  Rainie x

It took a while and it's likely not conclusive, but there you go... In no particular order either!

1 Hotel California -   Eagles

2. Take it to the Limit - Eagles

3.American Pie - Don McClean

4. The Boys of Summer - Don Henley

5. Cowgirl in the Sand - Neil Young

6. Drive - The Cars

7. A case of You - Joni Mitchell

8. Like I've never been Gone -  Robert Plant

10. Stairway to Heaven - Led Zeppelin

  • I will sing for you if we share a care home. Should bring in euthanasia.

  • Oh my Rainie, I hope that he is ok for us, he is quite old to still be touring!

    They say your song list says a lot about your personality. Not sure what mine says about me JoyJoy

    Agony to leave so many out - Genesis, James Taylor, Neil Young, Neil Simon, Sinead O'connor, Kate bush - and on and on....

  • Another great list. Heroes just missed out on my list. Carole King is yet another great artist as well.

  • A wide spectrum there Chelle. I was sorting out old records recently and came across a single of 'Everything I own' by Bread. I don't know why we hang onto these old vinyls as we no longer have a turntable!  Rainie x

  • Glad you felt up to doing your list. It does get into your head doesn't it? I keep thinking of ones I left out and wondering why I hadn't thought of them. Fire & Rain. James Taylor... there's another one!!  Rainie x
