30 November 2004

The malaise is still here so I thought I'd do what a lot of blokes do when they're bored...compile lists!!
Heard Hunter Davis on radio yesterday talking about his new book of lists and that set me thinking of my favourite things. It's even sadder in a way because my 3 favourite albums haven't changed in ten years and then it took a album of seismic proportions to storm it's way in. Even my favourite films are decades old, not one film in the past 20 years has even made me want to go to the cinema to see it, Christ no wonder I'm seen as a saddo who lives in the past.

Top five albums:
All Mod Cons/The Jam
The Story of.../The Clash
High Land Hard Rain/Aztec Camera
Park Life/Blur
Swoon/Prefab Sprout

Top Five singles:
Down In The Tube Station at Midnight/The Jam
Complete Control/The Clash
This Is A Low/Blur
Laid/James
When You're Young/The Jam

admittedly the singles do change from time to time but only to jostle for higher positions!

Top five films:
Billy Liar
Oliver!
Saturday Night, Sunday Morning
Kes
Quadrophenia
Bubbling under are:
A Kind of Loving, Up The Junction, Top Secret!, Look Back In Anger and Scum!

Favourite footballers:
Colin Todd
Marco Gabbiadini
Eric Cantona
Kevin Phillips
Joe Bolton
Not many suprises there I suppose, Cantona is in there for his style and for THAT Kung Fu tackle on a racist little twat ten years ago..Hero!
FTM!
