Ten good songs

[Fretless]

Good list Joe. I was thinking about that era - might have a go at 79-80 later.

Now here's a challenge. How about 10 from a specific year?

I could narrow that to one album, Misplaced Childhood - Marillion,
10 cracking songs from 1985's album of the year.

Good list Joe, could you squeeze 'Psycho Killer' - Talking Heads in your list for 77,
if so what would you take out, don't say 'i feel love', absolutely love that.

Yes, definitely! I can leave out the Tom Robinson track, as it's already on DQ's list.
