Subject: RE: Top 5's - go on you know you want to From: GUEST,Richard Date: 09 Nov 07 - 09:38 AM How foolish of me, my apologies for not chosing my words perfectly, and for being interested in what other people's favourite albums are. I'm sure you know what I meant. |

Subject: RE: Top 5's - go on you know you want to From: bobad Date: 09 Nov 07 - 10:35 AM The lists so far make me realize that there's a lot of music out there that I have not yet heard. Oh well, something to look forward to in my old age, I guess. |

Subject: RE: Top 5's - go on you know you want to From: bobad Date: 09 Nov 07 - 11:22 AM The Canadian song voted #1 of all time by CBC listeners was "Four Strong Winds". I'll go along with that. |

Subject: RE: Top 5's - go on you know you want to From: PeadarOfPortsmouth Date: 09 Nov 07 - 02:59 PM Based on the lists above, there's clearly a lot more for me to listen to. But my top five albums -- both in terms of influence on me and that I still play frequently -- include in no particular order: Jez Lowe - Old Durham Road Christy Moore - Iron Behind the Velvet Dick Gaughan - Live in Edinburgh Richard Shindell - Blue Divide Makem & Clancy - In Concert Hmmm...as for top five songs, this would likely change with the wind, but at moment: Little Musgrave - Planxty (from the recent reunion concert DVD) My Get up and Go - Pete Seeger (Headlines and Footnotes) Ballad of Mary Magdalen - Cry, Cry, Cry (w/ Lucy Kaplansky on vocals) '52 Vincent Black Lightning - Greg Brown (The Live One) Go, Lassie, Go - The Clancy Brothers (Reunion) Odd that three of those five songs are live versions... Cheers, Peter |
