My 100 Favourite Songs – Part 2

Welcome to Part 2 of my Top 100 Favourite Songs list.  They’re divided into 5 groups of 20; the first 4 are in no particular order.

Part 1 can be seen HERE.

Something I found when I was compiling my Top 100 was that songs I used to number among my all-time favourites, I no longer do.  For instance, I used to adore ‘The Way It Is’ by Bruce Hornsby and The Range, but when I listened to it again, as I listen to them all before including them, it didn’t do anything for me.  I much prefer the sampled version: ‘Changes’ by 2Pac, and was about to add that instead when I realised that what I was enjoying most of all was the beauty of the late lamented Tupac Shakur in the video!

But I’ll stick it on here as a bonus song anyway, so you can see it too 😉.

Back to it!

…and here is my second group of twenty, a random mix of musical types, as before!

Bohemian Like You – The Dandy Warhols (2000)

Message of Love – The Pretenders (1981)

I wavered between this and ‘Brass In Pocket’, but I decided that, although I played the latter about 20 times a day when it first came out, I’ve heard it so many times that I’m not sure I shall ever need to again.  Thus, not a Top 100!

Silver Machine – Hawkwind (1972)

One of the first singles I ever bought 🙂

 The Order of Death – Public Image Ltd (1984)

Dig A Pony – The Beatles (1969)

I’m not much of a Beatles fan – I appreciate how good their music is but most of it doesn’t quite hit the spot for me.  Except for this.

Castles Made of Sand – Jimi Hendrix (1967)
