Musical Preferences

This is a compilation of musical preferences of the 1961 English Group. The choices are frozen in time ( ie as of June 2010) as otherwise we would never have been able to select something from the wide range available.

Hopefully - this will be repeated ( say when we all hit 65, 70 etc ) to see how the choices change.

If you click on the hyperlinks - you should get a YouTube version of the songs. Where there are no links - it means that they are awaited from the contributor.

Enjoy
