Day 82: Zombie, The Cranberries
Again I was so sad when I heard Dolores passed away. Too many great musicians die too young. I guess it is those with tortured souls who produce the best music.

Day 81: Nothing compares to you, Sinéad O’Connor

Day 77: Thank You For The Music, Abba
Yes I know some people (here’s looking at you Stuart McDonald) will go what?? I have to admit my musical tastes are very broad partly because there are many components of music which I respond to. One important component for me is lyrics and this song really does summarise all my gratitude in what I
