Anyway, I make no apologies for anything on this list. The majority of songs on this list are there because they're linked to either a person, a time or memory in my life.
It's not about what I think are the best musical pieces, it's totally personal and about music, that means a lot to me.
In saying that - the lower part of the chart could easily change by the day, especially if I hear a song that I'd forgotten while putting it together.
I've added a link to a youtube playlist if you want to have a listen.
