My Top Ten

My Top Ten

Postby Carme » Sat Oct 29, 2016 6:45 pm

In find this excercise particulary difficult because I love music. I have been trying to write down the list for quite a while with no success at all I'm afraid..It is hard to narrow it down to 10 ..

After a thorough consideration , my Top Ten list would look like this:

1. Beethoven's 8th Symphony
2. Dvorak's 8th symphony
3. Haendel's Sarabande
4. Too Close to Heaven, The Waterboys
5. Somebody might wave back, the Waterboys
6. Hey Jude, The Beatles
7. An englishman in New York, Sting
8. Mr Tambourine man, Bob Dylan
9. Mediterraneo, Joan Manuel Serrat
10. Lucíá, Joan Manuel Serrat

As I said above, this is how my top ten list would like like today, but it might change tomorrow since I'm already reconsidering some positions or names. As the spanish poet Juan Ramon Jimenez once wrote" No le toques ya más, que asi es la rosa", " don't touch it anymore, for thus is the rose", so that is my list at least for today.

Let the music play!

It's a great list Carme - thanks for trying! I agree, it is almost impossible to reduce the wonderful world of music to only ten items. I go through phases where I listen to one type of music a lot, and then I move on to something different. But there are a few things that I have listened to again and again over many years. For example Monteverdi's Orfeo, anything by Bach, Umm Kalthoum's Al Atlal, Steve Reich's Music for 18 musicians, Kind of Blue by Miles Davis, the Andrews sisters - LOL! What a ridiculous list! It makes me smile just to write their names.
See you!
