I'm sure that we done this a few years back, I had had a search but couldn't find anything. I'm fairy sure that mine would have changed since then anyway, it's always great to discover new music even if its old music.

Let's Dance - David Bowie

1. Modern Love
2. China Girl
3. Let's Dance

Honourable mention to my old favourite.

The Stone Roses - The Stone Roses

1. I Wanna Be Adored
2. She Bangs The Drum
3. Waterfall

    Great question and need some time to think about it, but my inclination is that Stone Roses will be my choice as mentioned in the opening post ... great three tracks.
