Better than Lux Aeterna (the theme from requiem for a dream, which was used for Requiem for a tower (the LOTR film adverts) which I posted early on in this thread). Better than Rhapsody in Blue which I won't be posting as it's too long for Youtube. Better than the Pirates music.

If I could only have one piece of music it would be this one.

All the strange strange creatures - Murray Gold

Best. Murray Gold. Composition. Ever. Very Happy

And today's song in my head is best known to me as the theme tune to Saxondale:

Focus - House of the King

Blur - This Is A Low

I wanted to go but my girlfriend couldn't get the time off. Additionally, work comes to an end in March and we'll probably need all the money we can get. Going to see Dylan mind you. That's more important than money. Blur'll be rubbish anyway - they'll have a tracklisting made entirely of songs off Leisure and Think Tank.

Les Miserables - One Day More
I have seen Les Mis more than 50 times. I love it so much. It's such a wonderful show. This is my favourite song from the show - the climax to act 1. The clip on you tube prefaces it with another scene much earlier in act 1 - no idea why.

Because it's a medley from the 1987 Tony Awards. I personally much prefer the 10th Anniversary concert version, as it includes not only Colm Wilkinson, but also Michael Ball and the only true Javert Philip Quast. Smile

I don't like Philip Quast as Javert. I didn't like him when he played the role in London (obviously I didn't see him in Austrlia), I didn't like him in that concert. I also didn't like him as Peron in Evita 2 years ago. I was seriously disappointed with him in that. He was alright as Geroges Seurat in Sunday in the Park.

For me the best Javert I have seen - and I have seen lots of them, obviously - was Clive Carter.

I obviously don't have your track record Gill, only having seen Les Mis 3 times. But adding in various recordings as well, including the Symphonic, for me Quast is head and shoulders above all other Javerts. I have little doubt that the arguments have raged for years over at "Outpost LesMis". Very Happy

While we're on favourite instrumentals, here's one of mine:

The Durutti Column- Sketch For Summer

Elegiac and haunting, it was fittingly played at Tony Wilson's funeral.

by Starfighter Pilot Mon Dec 15, 2008 10:58 am

There's a stupendous album's worth of songs on Use Your Illusion, and an - underwhelming - one. Top of the stupendous album though, is:

Guns N' Roses - November Rain

by **Johnstone McGuckian** Mon Dec 15, 2008 11:06 am

MC Lars - Download This Song

Met this guy a couple of years ago. He has some really funny stuff.

by stanmore Mon Dec 15, 2008 12:07 pm

Paul McCartney - Every Night
He wasn't just Ebony and Ivory after The Beatles split up. Ignore the rubbish crowd patter and haircut, though.

by sheringham Mon Dec 15, 2008 1:24 pm

Donald Fagen - Ruby Baby

My favourite track from my favourite album (well - my favourite pop album anyway). I've always loved this song - since the album came out - but these days it has extra resonance as it is Roo's song. Very Happy
