This is a thing…
So here is mine…
Day One –
Day Two –
Or I you prefer…
Day Three
Day Four
This was probably the hardest choice of the lot as there is no-one I really want to forget, so went with this as it reminds me of a teenage unrequited love…
Day Five
The Who – Won’t Get Fooled Again
Day Six
Day Seven
Day Eight
Dr Feelgood – Milk and Alcohol
Day Nine
Day Ten
George Michael – A Different Corner
Day Eleven
A Flock of Seagulls – Wishing (If I Had A Photograph of You)
Day Twelve
The Mighty Wah! – The Story of the Blues (Part 1)
Day Thirteen
David Soul – Don’t Give Up On Us
Day Fourteen
Day Fifteen
Kirsty MacColl – A New England
Day Sixteen
Day Seventeen
Kenny Rogers and Dolly Parton – Islands In The Stream
Day Eighteen (not just the year I was born but the day!)
Simon and Garfunkel – Bridge Over Troubled Water
Day Nineteen
Day Twenty
Mental As Anything – Live It Up
Day Twenty One
I wanted to avoid two songs by the same artist, but just could not have this track…
Day Twenty Two
Day Twenty Three (especially for all the #forgotten80s crowd)
Day Twenty Four – Just one concert, at Christmas, broadcast live…
Day Twenty Five – so many possibilities here, so many lost greats. With no version of Hold the Heart with Stuart on vocals, I went for this
Day Twenty Six
Day Twenty Seven
Day Twenty Eight
Day Twenty Nine – hear this and I am five years old again, wanting to be a cowboy
Day Thirty – you can’t get the original so here is Paul singing it
The Beatles – Fool On The Hill
Or alternatively it being used on the opening credits of Dinner For Schmuks
The Beatles – Fool On The Hill
And that is my 30 day challenge… Not adventurous and most are well known but they mean a lot to me. Also it does not include some of my favourite songs of all time. The most notable omissions are Zoom, Don’t Give Up, Open Your Heart (Human League) and Born To Run… And of course, not one Christmas song, not even Fairytale of New York!
