My Favourite All Time Rock and Pop Music Tracks - Top 136
Music along with sport has always been one of my passions and it was fun trying to produce a list of my favourite 100 songs/tracks of all time. The problem was deciding what to leave out and that's why the list is currently up to 136. Anyway it's rather boring doing a top 100 - nobody does a top 136!!! As I re-visit this list I feel some pieces should be higher up and some lower down, but for the moment here it is. Click on the songs in green to go to a You Tube link.
