I got this off NME, yes it is yest another cut and paste job on songs that make grown men cry… here are the top ten
1. ‘Everybody Hurts’ (REM) – It is a real good song from their short lived golden age
2. ‘Tears in Heaven’ (Eric Clapton) – I feel cynical about this but not so cynical I want to fun on a guy who lost his son.
3. ‘Hallelujah’ (Leonard Cohen) – I am very sick of this one
4. ‘Nothing Compares 2 U’ (Sinead O’Connor) – Ah, yes, from back when Prince wrote songsinstead of grooves.
5. ‘With or Without You’ (U2) -Without
6. ‘The Drugs Don’t Work’ (The Verve) – And that is as good a reason as any to have a good blubber
7. ‘Candle in the Wind’ (Elton John) – She’s dead, get over it.
8. ‘Streets of Philadelphia’ (Bruce Springsteen) – Geeez, i don’t get that at all.
9. ‘Unchained Melody’ (Todd Duncan) -OK, I think we can all agree to a weeparino on this gorgeous pop symphony.
10. ‘Angels’ (Robbie Williams) – Only cry till he stops singing.
some of mine!!
1. Old Shep – Elvis presley – It was his dog and he died
2. Labelled With Love – Squeeze – Drinks to remember I, me and myself…
3. Take Good Care Of My Baby – Bobby Vee – he did the dirty on her and now he is all alone
4. You Won’t See Me – The Beatles – The “no I woouldn’t”s by Harrison and lennon are quietly devastating.
