This song really spoke to me, so I found a lot more songs from him he has a hell of a lot!
He helped me through some tough times recently
My favourite from him at the moment is Love's Been Good To Me
2.Kaleth Morales
Vivo En El Limbo (Vivo)
My favourite right now La Hora De La Verdad

I love the energy of Kaleth's music and his love for his music, He makes me so happy, love salsaing round my kitchen singing along badly (I'm learning Spanish)
3.T.Rex Raw Ramp
Raw Ramp has been my number one song of all T.Rex songs as it is just so sensual and sung so well
My Favourite from T.Rex at the moment is Venus Loon
It's got a great feel to it and great to sing along to
4.Sublime Slow Ride
This just gets me, just so chills me out, the bass is amazing
My favourite right now, this is hard as they have so many good songs, would be Wrong Way
It's so funny and makes me laugh
5.Aterciopelados Florecita Rockera is the first song I heard from this band, it's not their best song, they are all good,
My favourite by far is Baracunatana
I love Andrea Echeverri voice so I'll include some of her solo work as well
Amortiguador also A Eme O and a new favourite Fulgor
6.Neneh CherryBuffalo Stance
I love this track, seeing her on Top of the Pops doing this 7 months pregnant was so cool
My favourite track at the moment is everything
I saw her perform it live on "Later with Jools Holland" it blew me away
7.Condom

My current favourite is hard as not easy to pick just one song, so I won't :) the first one isAm Rande Der Nacht and Die Nachbarn
8.Subhumans
Zyklon-B-Movie This song so rocks, I saw them in Camden, London a couple of years ago,as I had arrived at another gig the night before (it was a punk all dayer in Birmingham)and bloody missed them(even got a speeding ticket cos I knew I was late), Dick dedicated zyklon-b-movie for me and gave me a refund as I was on the Guest List!, so I bought some cd's and had a nice chat, what a lovely man!
The other song I like at the mo is Subvert City
9.The Damned Neat Neat Neat
This song sends me crazy and I pogo up and down like a lunatic. The Damned have been a favourite for a long time, at one of their gigs (Christmas be Damned Tour in Glasgow) I got bodily thrown out by 4 bouncers (one for each limb) as I got on the stage (no mean feat for a woman and at a Damned gig) Captain Sensible just stood laughing, great gig!

Now Mr Marley, well what a legend to finish off with There are so many songs I love, a lot of modern music wouldn't exist,he was very influential on a lot of people
My all time fave has to be Redemption Song it just gets to me very deeply. Also done by Joe Strummer with Johnny Cash
