So many brilliant songs to choose from it's hard to pick just one but a walk on the wild side by Lou Reed was absolutely fantastic.

I could probably pick another dozen or so, even if I split an answer into different categories.

60s - House of the Rising Son, Animals. Saw The Animals live doing this at Great Yarmouth whilst on Burnley holiday week- loved Eric doing this.

A record released on 12/5/67 Procol Harum-A whiter Shade of Pale not only remains my fav record of the '60's but also of all time.

Posted: **Wed Apr 09, 2025 8:18 am**

If pushed for just one it would have to be "Go Now" by the Moody Blues but it's really an impossible question.

Posted: **Wed Apr 09, 2025 8:35 am**

This one for me, a song that still somehow sounds modern and futuristic nearly 45 years later
