Mull of Kintyre - as a 10 year old, my brother persuaded the 5 of us to all chip in to buy it as it was going to be a huge record , so first single I ever bought (a share in)
Bat Out of Hell album, again my brother had the pic disc of this which was rare and was never off the turntable, as well as being shown to every visitor to the house.
When I was small and my pals were into Duran Duran or watever the bands were in the early eighties, I was into Queen, ELO, Free, REO Speedwagon, Journey etc as thats what my brother played all the time!
Hi Ho Silver Lining - when I was wee my aunty gave me an old reel to reel player and this was on it and I played it non stop.
Dirty Old Town - when I used to do DJing in my late teens (I know don't laugh), this became a regular song that got requested and played every week without fail.
More recently, Eva Cassidy Fields of Gold, a song that reminds me of my mum who died of cancer. Was used in TV adverts for Cancer charities and is a very very powerful song and one that is in my mind every day with the line of work I am in. Much better than Sting's version.
