I haven’t done a Random 10 for quite a while, so here’s the first of the New Year. iTunes delivered a fairly conventional list this time, including several that are hard not to sing along with. (Specifically, those by Janis, Bruce, Kirsty, Paula, and Love.)
- “Life of Surprises” by Prefab Sprout (from A Life of Surprises) [How apposite for the last 12 months of my life!]
- “Where Have All The Cowboys Gone?” by Paula Cole (from This Fire)
- “Trip And Glide” by Love & Rockets (from Hot Trip To Heaven)
- “Gather Round” by Love (from Out There)
- “Me And Bobby McGee” by Janis Joplin (from 18 Essential Songs)
- “We Never Change” by Coldplay (from Parachutes)
- “Dancing In The Dark” by Bruce Springsteen (from Greatest Hits)
- “Mean Mr. Mustard” by The Beatles (from Abbey Road)
- “You Don’t Even Know Me” by Al Stewart (from Orange)
- “He’s On The Beach” by Kirsty MacColl (from Galore)
