I have to agree that it is very hard to name just a top five.
The first three on my list are easy as they would be the three no matter what, the other two might change a hundred times a day.
Number one for me has to be Depeche Mode’s Enjoy The Silence.
Martin Gore’s words in this really spoke to me. It might be a grim thing to say but I’ve told my wife I would like this song played at my funeral.
We’re actually going to see them play in Austria in July so I can’t wait!
Number two is Vienna by Ultravox. This is the quintessential 80’s song for me and takes me back to that time whenever I hear it.
The third one is Puccini’s La Boheme and particularly Act 1. Call me a romantic but every time I hear Mimi and Rodolfo fall in love I get shivers down my back.
The fourth is one of my earliest recollections of electronic music and I have been a huge fan of the music genre since.
The fifth, this time, is from the first love of my life. The gorgeous Debby Harry.
