    Oh Danbert, where art thou?

    Out running according to the rumours. Madness.

    Running? Surely not? He'll be trolling some forum or other somewhere in cyberspace. Maybe here

    I wonder where the term "trolling" came from.

    If they came to take my vinyl collection away and said I could keep just one, without hesitation it would be:

    Heaven or Las Vegas. Cocteau Twins.

    How odd.

    I presume you have never heard eg Neil Young's album: After The Gold Rush?

    Frank Sinatra. A toss up between Songs for Swinging Lovers or the fantastic set he recorded with Antonio Carlos Jobim in 1967. Much though I love the bossa I'm going with SFSL. I was brought up listening to crooners and both my parents (sadly now singing along with Nat Cole in the coffee bar in the sky) loved Matt Munro, Sinatra, Dean Martin and Andy Williams. SFSL is surely my favourite by that commsumate stylist Mr Francis Albert Sinatra and a very worthy addition to the six

    Much as I love Mr Young (Down by the River subject to the greatest theft in musical history by Messrs Pink Floyd), If I had to be serenaded for eternity by just one artist, I would rather be soothed by Liz than whined at by Neil!

    I think Neil's strength is his guitar playing rather than his voice so in a spirit of generous magnanimity I recommend the most poignant work of the finest song writer of the last 40 years:

    Land of Dreams
    by Randy Newman

    Wiki says your man's involved in Soft rock and Comedy rock. Do you want us to ignore that pick and make another? Beatles, Stones, Beach Boys maybe?

    I don't know which is worse: that you had to resort to W*k*p*d** or that you are challenging my omniscience.

    The Rolling Stones did make a couple of decent cuts; It's All Over Now, primarily because of Brian Jones' guitar playing, and Street Fightin' Man; but I have never allowed the Beatles into my house.

    Btw Van Dyke Parks, who co-wrote Smile with Brian Wilson produced Randy Newman's first album.
