QUESTIONS:
1. Which song do you prefer, #1 or #40?
#1, but it's close. Some other YMO tracks would have
been higher.

2. Have you ever listened to #12 continuously on repeat?
No, but I went through a phase of listening to all the Delerium albums from Semantic Spaces to Poem over and over again.

3. What album is #26 from?
Construction Time
Again, their anarchist album!

4. What do you think about the artist who did #15?
They're not in my top ten, but I like a lot of their
stuff and they're enormously influential. Could do with a better vocalist but couldn't we all?!

5. Is #19 one of your favorite songs?
It's not in my top 19! It is a great track though.

6. Who does #38 remind you of?
An old email buddy from the ebtg list who was obsessed with this song when it appeared on Back to Mine

7. Does #20 have better lyrics or music?
It's a simple folky song and I really like her lyrics generally, so lyrics.

8. Do any of your friends like #3?
Yes, Cameron and I have been to see Bryan
Ferry LOADS of times. In fact I don't know
anyone who doesn't like old Bryan

9. Is #33 from a movie soundtrack?
No, I can't imagine what kind of movie would have a
Billy Bragg soundtrack!

10. Is #18 overplayed on the radio?
No, it was off his first album and he didn't really
break into the mainstream until his second

11. What does #21 remind you of? If it was the original Japan I could offer up loads of memories, but this version didn't really have the same impact on me.

12. Which song do you prefer, #5 or #22?
#5 - One of the best tracks off Temperamental

13. What album is #17 from?
Live at Ronnie Scott's

14. When did you first hear #39?
Probably on Top of the Pops when it was released. I was still buying 7" singles at the time and bought it from Woolies at the next opportunity!

15. When did you first hear #7?
I bought Loaded when it was reissued in a double cd by Rhino

16. What genre is #8?
Dance - it's got a 70s influence as well, but is one of those Ministry of Sound singles

17. Do any of your friends like #14?
I wuold doubt if any of my friends have ever heard it.

18. What color does #4 remind you of?
Red - The Robots cover

19. Have you ever blasted #11 on your stereo?
Yes - Idlewild is one of my all-time favourite albums

20. What genre is #37?
She described it as "cha'abi moderne" - Eguptian pop music

21. Can you play #13 on any instrument?
Never tried - it's not one of my favourite Duran Duran tracks

22. What is your favorite lyric from #30?
I'll come back to this one once I find a Penguin Cafe Orchestra track with lyrics!

23. What is your favorite lyric from #23?
"You see to someone, somewhere, oh yeah
Alma matters
In mind, body and soul
In part, and in whole"

Lovely song, but nothing to get excited about lyrically - sorry Stephen…;-)

24. Would you recommend #24 to your friends?
Yes, it's one of the stronger Yoko tracks

25. Is #2 a good song to dance to?
Urr, no, unless you are a bit strange

26. Do you ever hear #16 on the radio?
I would seriously doubt it

27. Is #32 more of a "nighttime" or "daytime" song?
Nighttime - crying in a corner

28. Does #36 have any special meaning to you?
It's one of my best songs on karaoke

29. Do any of your friends like #31?
I doubt if they've ever heard it

30. Is #25 a fast or slow song?
Mid-paced

31. Is #35 a happy or sad song?
It sounds happy enough although I don't speak Turkish so I don't know what the lyrics mean.

32. What is one of your favorite lyrics from #9?
"Marilyn says I got nothing to wear tonight
Only a pair of diamond earrings that catch the light"

These lyrics questions have fallen to the wrong songs!

33. Is #34 better to listen to alone or with friends?
Alone - a real Morrissey moment!

34. When did you first hear #27?
When Running in the Family first came out - my buddy John was a big fan. This was the album I thought they started to lose it a bit.
