Cool collections there, guys! Starsailor - no, it's not easy at all. I'm not sure I'd pick the exact same songs twice if I did it again without looking at the first list, and there are so many other songs that would be hard to leave out.

Yes it is very difficult, I had trouble deciding and I thought I'd work it out depending on what kind of a day I was having, I've covered a few genres, neat idea Stratrat

I was going to pick Walk the line but I thought a bit of humour would be better and this is a real classic
The song choices here would make one hell of an Album.

[Stratrat]

Starsailor - I have to admit that I only know three of the songs off your daughter's list!

Lots of great choices so far - I already see a few songs that could easily displace others on my list. Neil - "Lines On My Face" (the live version) is a great one, that could easily bump one of mine!

[starsailor]

It's a pretty good list Stratrat some of those songs are worth checking out, my Daughters only 13 so I was impressed when she put in Stand By Me, that's one of her favourite films as well and it was good to see Aerosmith in there too, she plays Drums and Bass guitar so she has quite a range of musical taste, I've tried to get her to play guitar too but she's not interested at the moment, she's one of the Coolest 13 year olds I've met but I am slightly biased, anyway back to the thread

[blackcat]

I like so much music of varying styles i would find it impossible to choose, but would have to include something from dylan,cat stevens,slade and some bluegrass
