We may all be Oranjemunders, We may all have a common link in our memories, but we do span 5 decades in here..... I was wondering what everyones 5 most impressionable songs were from their era.....

2) Buffalo Soldier - Bob Marley
3) Sunday Bloody Sunday - U2
4) Forever Young - Alphaville
5) Hold Me Now - Thompson Twins....

Bread ...  avoid  it ..  the  ballads  make  people  go  very mushy especially  with  a  few  drinks  under  the belt ...    good  for  if  you  contemplating  ending it all ...  Only  joking  , but  yes  your  heartsrtings  could  get severely  pulled  listening to  bread ..
To see  sometimes  requires that you  first believe .

Life's journey is not to
arrive at the grave safely
in a well preserved body,
but rather to skid in sideways,
totally worn out, shouting
'..holy sh*t ..what a ride!
