Listening to the Jonathan Ross show on Radio 2 and he's already played 3 tracks that are at or near the top of my Windows Media Player playlist that I like to bung on of a Saturday afternoon, mainly to mask the noise from the upstairs neighbours - they do about seven loads of washing on Saturdays and turn up the volume of their radio so they can still hear it above the noise of the washing machine - so here is an extract from my playlist, I'll show you mine if you show me yours:
Baba O'Reilly - The Who
Victoria - The Kinks
Wichita Lineman - Glen Campbell
Changes - David Bowie
Green Shirt - Elvis Costello
At The Hop - XTC
Shipbuilding - Robert Wyatt
Teenage Dirtbag - Wheatus
Aikea Guinea - Cocteau Twins
Friday On My Mind - The Easybeats
Ride a White Swan - Trex
Soldier Girl - Polyphonic Spree

You'll have noticed that the current crop of Radio 1-friendly artistes don't get a look-in, long may it stay so.

That's a nicely well-balanced list, Mr Wobbler - something a bit country, glam rock, a bit of indie.
This is the most listened to stuff on my i-river, a mix of old faves & current ones - so here is my top *counts* 12 also
I Remember You - Steve Earle with Emmylou Harris
Don't Talk to Me About Love - Altered Images
Baby Did a Bad Bad Thing - Chris Isaak
Red Morning Light - Kings of Leon
Alive & Amplified - Mooney Suzuki
Panic in Detroit - David Bowie
Dude Looks like a Lady - Aerosmith
Lido Shuffle - Boz Skaggs
Someday We'll be Together - Diana Ross - this is the point where I start singing along :-(
Revolution (Lies) - Arcade Fire
Trouble Over Me - Tift Merritt - another sing-along, I'm afraid
If You See Her,Say Hello - Bob Dylan - I've tried to get into Dylan several times, & again with the recent programmes on him, but I'm not really getting it - except for this song, which I love, & strangely I discovered through Ricky Gervais's Xfm show.

I suspect 3 of my selection do occasionally turn up on Radio 1 - I don't listen to it to know, but I'm not holding it against them. Not without proof.

I've had the same problem with Dylan, the initial impact he made and the influence he had over the Beatles and the Stones etc seems to echo around the music scene but the geezer himself always seems to be a bit of a disappointment, probably unfair to say so given that he wrote many of the best remembered pop songs of the sixties. It's as if his bursting upon the scene changed music forever, not to be sniffed at.Interesting list by the way.
