Top Five On Friday

It's time for another Top Five meme, created by yours truly. If you decide to do this meme, remember to go over to Music Memoirs and leave a comment so everyone can see your answers, m'kay?

Top five songs and or albums from artists that are no longer with us.

Songs first:

1.George Harrison - I Don't Wanna Do It
This is an unreleased track written by Bob Dylan. There are at 3 versions of it floating around. I hope you enjoy this one.

2.John Lennon - Every Man Has A Woman That Loves Him
This version has John rather than Yoko on lead vocals. I was never very fond of John Lennon's songwriting after the Beatles broke up, but this is a truly beautiful song. It's one of the few songs that really moved me.

3.Dusty Springfield - Son Of A Preacher Man
I don't think there's much to be said about this song, except that it's great. Dusty had a fantastic voice. She did some great songs with the Pet Shop Boys in the 80's too.

4.Buddy Holly - Everyday
The eternal geek, who has inspired musicians for decades. How can you not love such a catchy tune?

5.The Clash - Should I Stay Or Should I Go
80's night wouldn't be the same without this song. Thanks Joe!

Now for the albums:

1.

Everyone should have this double disc set. It's the first and probably the best of George's solo albums. Not that you aren't going to see another album of his in this list, because you are!

2.

Two songs stand out on this one, Crackerbox Palace and This Song. The whole album is great and remastered now, so there's no excuse not to have it.

3.

No explanations needed. The return of Lennon and probably his most beautiful album. (If you ignore Yoko, which I hope you will)

4.

Two legends are represented in this project: George Harrison and Roy Orbison. There are some fine contributions from both on this album. If you can find a copy, snatch it up!

5.

Monday Monday and California Dreamin' 2 good reasons to own this disc. BTW..I swear there's only one living member of this group left. Crikey.
