Edna's Personal Top Ten


Recommended Posts

The orange sky reddens the outside of a stoic apartment building of stone and mortar. Inside, a smallish woman of graceful form dances slow flamenco to a Portuguese "fado" song. The sun setting on another day gives her pause - as it does everyday - to reflect on "what might have been?" and "where would I be if only ..." These questions, those daily dances. are all here in:

01. Wuthering Heights - Kate Bush

02. Comment Te Dire Adieu - Françoise Hardy

03. Tous Les Bateaux...Tous Les Oiseaux - Michel Polnareff (I have to admit I got a little choked up listening to this one... great tune... just don't play it when you've had a coupla glasses of wine)

04. Mutante - Rita Lee

05. Namoradinha de um amigo meu - Roberto Carlos

06. Symphony #3 - Brahms

07. Alone Again Or - Love (The Damned's version woulda also made my top ten)

08. Stumblin' In - Suzie Quatro

09. The Stranger - Leonard Cohen

10. Rent- Pet Shop Boys

I can't believe I just eliminated The Stranglers, Chopin, Herb Alpert, Elvis Costello, Julie London, and Jeanne Moreau! This is all top-shelf stuff. Of all the lists I've listened to, I think this is the one with the most songs I liked on the same consistent level. Initially, I was gonna pick the stuff I woulda included on my list, but after giving the other songs a chance, I had to start eliminating my first picks. The ones I kept were Kate Bush, Roberto Carlos, and Pet Shop Boys (I HAVE to keep those no matter how much better the other choices were) :beatnik:
