    Bridge over troubled waters by Simon and Garfunkle

    1. Bridge over troubled waters
    2. El condo pasa
    3. Cecila 
    Love this record (BOTW being one of the best songs of all time), but I think Graceland has the better three openers. In my opinion Graceland is one of the top ten records of all time 

    1. Boy In The Bubble
    2. Graceland
    3. I Know What I Know
    Brilliant roadtrip record. My dad used to play it incessantly in the car when we were kids. I used to hate it but I grew to love it.

    BEST roadtrip record, I had it on no stop when I drove across America in 2014.

    Ash playing The Roundhouse Friday 27th March.
    But it clashes with England v Italy.

    Beyond film soundtracks, I'm really struggling to think of any instrumental tracks I like. *cough* Flying, by Chas and Dave.

    Sowing the seeds for the follow up discussion: favourite pop/rock/metal instrumental tracks ... ?

    Think we should definitely have a new thread on that.  Probably best to leave it a week or so though, don't want to turn Charlton Life into a music site.

    If, heaven forbid, we lose tomorrow I think the only music on this site will be the 3rd movement of Chopin's Piano Sonata No 2, the piece of music more commonly known as the Funeral March ...

    Only problem with Love over Gold is that the first 2 songs take up all of side 1.....so if you have the album version you have to turn it over to listen to the 3rd one on the list. I think it therefore fails by default, otherwise it would have been one if my choices.

    @AddickUpNorth Which track off that album is it that goes "I'm losing on the swings, I'm losing on the roundabouts"? Had a friend from uni that played that a fair amount, so I always think of him when I hear it.
