Bruce sPringsteen<br />
I am a huge Sprignsteen<br />
fan and this sums up<br />
The Boss for me. Great<br />
narrative and even better<br />
sax solo by Clarence Clemons.<br />
Almost chose 'No Surrender',<br />
my second favourite.<br />

This track brings back vivid memories<br />
<strong>of</strong> my childhood family holidays,<br />
the annual 8 hour drive to<br />
Cornwall and putting up tents in<br />
the dark. Still enjoyed it though!<br />
Mr Brightside<br />
the killers<br />
This reminds me <strong>of</strong> my enjoyable<br />
years at Thomson Holidays. New in<br />
London, I met many wonderful friends<br />
there (a lot are now dotted around<br />
the travel industry) and so began my<br />
career in travel.<br />

JiMi hendrix<br />
This is one <strong>of</strong> the first songs I learned<br />
to play on the guitar in my early teens.<br />
I wanted to be in a band so I got my<br />
dad to teach me how to play. Still love<br />
this song even if it is about murder.<br />
sYMPAthY For the devil<br />
the rolling stones<br />
Who doesn't love The Stones? I love<br />
the menace <strong>of</strong> this song. It also<br />
reminds me <strong>of</strong> my wife-to-be<br />
because <strong>of</strong> our on-going debate<br />
about the best Stones song.<br />

oAsis<br />
This was the B side to Don't<br />
Look Back in Anger and a great<br />
cover <strong>of</strong> the Slade original. I love<br />
the energy. This song became the<br />
sound track to my first year at university<br />
when Oasis sat at the top <strong>of</strong> the tree.<br />

JAY Z / AliciA keYs<br />
I will forever love New York and this<br />
is a great adopted anthem for the<br />
city. The track reminds me <strong>of</strong> having<br />
fun there with Liv (the wife-to-be!)<br />
and running the New York marathon.<br />
suPerstition<br />
stevie wonder<br />
This is an iconic party tune, reminds<br />
me <strong>of</strong> all <strong>of</strong> my friends' weddings<br />
that I've been to and having a ball<br />
Book<br />

I read a lot so this is probably a more<br />
difficult choice than the songs. I'll go<br />
for the complete works <strong>of</strong> Shakespeare.<br />
That should keep me going for a while.<br />
