On BBC Radio 2, one of the DJ's does a slot called the Tracks of my Years. Celebs pick out their ten favourite songs and he plays two every week day.
I have chosen mine. It is very rare a song or a piece of music makes the hair on the back of my neck stand up, but these ten all do that to me.
Would love to hear everyone elses!

Roger, I had to go to Amazon, then find the album, then find the track, then listen to hear your tracks, as I had never heard of most of them!
I have Bridge Over Troubled Water (the Album) on a really old LP that was my mums. I remember her listening to it whilst she was sewing when I was a little girl. I only ever remember her listening to Bridge Over Troubled Water and Johnny Cash, Live at San Quentin and Sinatra at the Sands.
Funnily enough, I adore all those albums and still listen to them now.
Anonymous...Louis Armstrong would definitely have been on my dads tracks, and I very nearly put Louis Armstrong and Danny Kaye singing When the Saints go Marching In on my own list.
Kaz...Everybody secretly loves Angels. But Tom Jones? Blech.
Jilly....I definitely want to hear your Great Aunt Odessa singing, too.
Clanky, time to update, Ho
Well what else do you expect from a Welsh girl
I have traced my family tree and I roo am Welsh. From Powys. Are you impressed?
Thankfully, I can find no trace of being related to either Catherine Zeta or Tom Jones.
Just call me Blodwyn.
How can you ever choose just TEN?

I want a Welsh name too. Maybe Dilys. -- fez
