ReplyDeleteLike, he is truly one of the best...but we've had this conversation before.
There is even more here I need to listen to, including your #1...so, I should get on that. Love seeing Back to Black and Falling Slowly and Lose Yourself...such great iconic tracks. Love the diversity of the list.
Haha, always!
DeleteThanks man. I listen to a little bit of everything, so I'm glad the list reflected that. :)
Love to see you sharing your all-time favorites! Remember The Pogues, Tom Waits, Johnny Cash and College are a big deal for you, so figured those would be on the list :)
ReplyDeleteI knew "Take Five" but didn't know the artist, so thanks for that. The Harwood song from Chinese Bookie is a great find too. I need to check out more from The Streets, Dry Your Eyes is powerful
Thanks, Chris! I want to do an albums list, but I need to check out some more first. ;) When I do one, The Streets will do VERY well. I'd recommend his first and second albums. Dry Your Eyes is from his second one, which is a concept album.
