Continuing our series of cultural favourites (following paintings and books), this time it’s music.
Your top 10 albums/musical works- any genre- of 20 minutes or more please
It would get a bit complicated if songs/tracks/fragments/single movements were included, so i’m not including some classical movements/pieces (e.g by Rodrigo and Smetana) that i might have picked otherwise.
You can put in preferential order, but there will be 1 point for each selection, anyway. Poll ends 1st June 2012.
Mine:
The Art of Amalia (Amalia Rodrigues)
Captain Fantastic and the Brown Dirt Cowboy (Elton John)
2nd Symphony (Sibelius)
Born to Run (Bruce Springsteen)
Le Pas du Chat Noir (Anouar Brahem)
7th Symphony (Beethoven)
Tumbleweed Connection (Elton John)
Violin Concerto (Sibelius)
Aman Iman (Tinariwen)
Goodbye Yellow Brick Road (Elton John)
I wasn’t surprised by the most popular paintings and books but i’ve no idea what will come out tops here. Being a hopeless old fogey i’m looking forward to some exciting and much cooler discoveries
