Katrina's Top ten
In perverse order

Elvis Presley 'True Love Travels On A Gravel Road'
This is from His legendary comeback in 1969 (my year). According to the newspapers it was a more important event even than Man Landing on the Moon. It is to me too, and I can't say that about much.

Daniel Johnston 'Don't Let The Sun Go Down On Your Grievances'
My dearest songwriter. My national anthem.

Billy Taylor Trio 'Film '86' / 'I Wish I Knew How It Would Feel To Be Free'
I'm wondering if long titles somehow attract me. Anyway, this is my oldest favourite on the list. I was about 15 when I learnt (a simplified version of) this and drove my family mad by playing I for approximately two years non-stop thus beating even 'The Entertainer' and the Tennents lager theme. A world record.

The Cookies 'I Never Dreamed'
My favourite 60s girl group in their swooningest moment.

Jad Fair 'Starry Eyes'
Sparkly.

Spider John Koerner 'Titanic'
"It was sad, it was sad, oh lord it was sad…" to the jolliest tune I can think of. This one's on an exciting tape Jad made me last month and it's a stomper.

Sebadoh 'Soul And Fire'
Too sad to think about.

Betty Willis 'If I Had A Hammer'
She sings like Louis Armstrong - lusty and husky and funny. She is great.

Moe Tucker 'Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow'
Overwhelming like a lot of things Moe does - she's high on my list of heros/respectables.

Modern Lovers 'Girlfriend'
This is the only song I know that lets me feel my own heartbeat.
