Something for everybody, 8 songs, 1 book, 1 luxury – rules are:

1. Songs/tracks should be: (i) from early childhood (ii) first favourite of pre-teen youth (iii) favourite of teenage years (iv) best experienced live (v) best from when you fell in love (vi) best coz it’s really meaningful (vii) best you like now you never would have liked when younger (viii) the one you keep when the waves wash all the others away

2. A sentence or more to explain your book and luxury choice

3. Don’t think too long about it. You won’t be held to account in years to come when someone does a similar thread and your choices have changed

4. Don’t do it at all if you don’t want to. It’s just a bit of fun.

5. Oh, and ignore all the above rules if you want to do it differently, including the song choices

6. Finally, ignore rule number 5.
