Aretha Franklin – Day Dreaming


What could I say about Aretha that would do her justice? She is both a legend and a big favourite of mine.

I like this for two reasons – that it is a great song, ethereal and heartfelt but also it doesn’t suffer the same fate as some of the rest of her work in becoming a bit stale and even jaded from overplaying. Every time I hear this is remains fresh.

The Human League – Don’t you want me


This song IS the 80’s and I thought it was about time I mined that decade a little further.

Also You were working as a waitress in a cocktail bar must be one of the all time great opening lines.
