My sister brainwashed me with it when we were kids. I can't believe I've forgotten it. Jeanette

its not often that I come across peole who have heard of half the things in my cd collection! Andy/Rick - can I ask why your fav massive attack album is Blue Lines? Agree its a fab album & unfinished sympathy is great & safe from harm...but, songs on mezzanine i.e. risingson, angel and exchnae are fab & 100th Window, tho admittedly not the whole of the original massive attack crew - future proof & butterfly are amazing and sinead o'connor on some of them are fantastic too. Maybe its becuase I like/prefer more of the songs on their other albums that 'Blue Lines' isn't my fav. Just asking the question as everyone always says 'Blue Lines'....! Natalie

iys difficult to choose fav albums cus i presume you r suposed to love EVERY track on it so although iv love many i dont like all of the tracks on every cd i have so that limits my choice so these r my choices cream dance anthems 2001 the very best of UB40 1980 - 2000 darks side of the moon - pink floyd both dido albums they dont really reflect my music tastes completly though ( im more into rock and dance ) but i love each track on all these cds lou

i also love Busteds first album i know you will probably all groan but they can play the instrumnets and sing ok and most of all they actually look like they r enjoying themselves and put lots of energy into their music lou

Hi, I've limited myself to 10, which is hard - LA Woman - The Doors Sur La Mer - Moody Blues Are You Experienced - Jimi Hendrix Ziggy - Bowie Sand and Water - Beth Neilsen Chapman Let It Be - Beatles Dark Side of the Moon - Pink Floyd A Night at the Opera - Queen Best of REM Hotel California - Eagles Or maybe Revolver instead of Let it Be or maybe Aladdin Sane instead of Ziggy or maybe ..............
