oi mumsnet fancy making us a compilation cd with all our favourite songs on it?

[witchandchips]

what do you think

[anightmareonMegletstreet]

Just as long as it doesn't have any james blunt on it.

[DANCESwithHughJackman]

or katie melua

[Tortington]

why would they do that?

[ScaremyVile]

How would they ever decide on which were 'our' favourite songs?
Are we supposed to all like a certain type of music when we become parents?

[RoyKinnear]

ok then !!!

[witchandchips]

scaremy, think the idea that we would sort out the playlist in a thread

[AbbyMumsnet]

It's a great idea, but, IMO, not possible. Logistically, the amount of work that it would involve - dealing with all the publishers, record companies and so on, waiting to get clearance from each artist etc - and the actual costs of licensing each track, would make it totally unworkable.

[CadaverousCorpulentCarmenere]

Not to mind the protracted online fight that would ensue about what went on it

[witchandchips]

but can we have the fight anyway?

[CadaverousCorpulentCarmenere]

Certainly, I'll go first. I like James Blunt and Katie Melua

[witchandchips]

quick slap round the chops to you then

[AbbyMumsnet]

CCC - JB and KM???? I have just voted you off... Simon Cowell style.

[CadaverousCorpulentCarmenere]

Oh no Abbey I was being deliberately contentious. I don't like either of them, I was just trying to oblige wichandchips with a scrap

[AbbyMumsnet]

Sorry, still recovering from a 17 hour journey from the Scilly Isles and not quite up to speed. Perfect suggestions for a scrap though, or even a virtual arm wrestle.

[EffiePerine]

What about a best of MN thread? I could put lots of v v old music on it as nothing on my iPod post 1980

I vote for

Dusty Springfield, In the middle of nowhere
Sandy Shaw, Rose Garden
Francoise Hardy, Tout les garcons et les filles

(having 60s pop sesh atm)
