Top Five Records

So, those of you paying attention at the back will have noticed the presence of High Fidelity in my fave movies and books bit, and it's been a running theme for people to challenge just how sad I am by throwing obscure top fives in my direction.

Anyway, my friend Rachel has come up with the 'everest' of top fives. The task? Pick the top five songs that best express your personality.

After much mulling, I came up with this list. And, seeing as this is a place for me to be honest before the whole world, here's my selection, and my attempts to justify their inclusion

1. Coldplay- Fix You (kind of a new record but the sentiment reflects my sense of trying to fix every single situation I come across)
2.Embrace- The Good Will Come Out (like to think that my personality has that kind of grit-your-teeth, get on with and look towards a better day type vibe to it that this song has)
3. Radiohead-Creep (struggled with including this one-seems a bit cliched but sadly I'm prone to bouts of feeling like a creep, a weirdo and that I don't belong)
4. Echobelly- Great Things (cos a lot of my activism and work is fuelled by that fact I want to achieve stuff that's long lasting and great!)
5. Bob Dylan- Most of The Time (most of Bob's recent stuff isn't as well known as the early stuff, but this song is really good. Personality wise I relate to this, trying to get on with things, saying I'm alright and healed from past hurts, when really it's only most of the time that I'm OK and some days really hurt. A bit deep, but felt I needed to justify the inclusion of this song all the more!)

So there. Anyone else care to chip in?
