Recently some Australian politicians were asked to name their favourite songs. While Tony Abbott’s number 1 is Suspicious minds by Elvis Presley, Barnaby Joyce (Deputy Prime Minister) went for Across the Universe by the Beatles. U.S. President Barack Obama had previously provided an extensive list most of which I haven’t heard but will endeavour to.
This prompted me to think of what my favourite would be. I think my number 1 would have to be:
- November Rain – Guns n Roses
Other contenders would include:
- The sad café – The Eagles
- The last song – Elton John
- Empty garden – Elton John
- Memories – Elvis Presley
- You shook me all night long – AC/DC
- It’s a long way to the top – AC/DC
- Imagine – John Lennon
- Let it rain – Jon Bon Jovi & Luciano Pavarotti
- Miss Sarajevo – U2
- Stay (Faraway, so close) – U2
- Misunderstood – Robbie Williams
- One Love – Bob Marley
- Universally speaking – Red Hot Chilli Peppers
- Let it be – The Beatles
- In my life – The Beatles
- Streets of Philadelphia – Bruce Springsteen
- Brilliant disguise – Bruce Springsteen
- Salt water – Julian Lennon
- Good year for the roses – Elvis Costello
- Have I told you lately – Van Morrison
- The killing of Georgie – Rod Stewart
- Glory road – Neil Diamond
I might add to this list a little later.
What do you think? Any other suggestions?
