ANTHONY PHILLIPS - consistent five tracks

    Following on from my Genesis question....


    We’ve had lots of great polls about albums and tracks and I always find it hard to pick a top 1, 5, 10 or whatever it is. My top ten changes over time. But there will always be five songs in my top ten Phillips


    Silver song - a great reminder of those early days

    God if I saw her now - one of the best off my favourite Ant album

    Anthem from Tarka - a superb, evocative album

    Now what are they doing ...... his voice works well here

    Lucy Will - an endearing, yearning song

    the Women were watching, love that little penny whistle ( or whatever it is) refrain


    Beyond that I have about eight to ten that would take up the remaining five slots

    So, which five would always be in your top ten?

    This one is the most challenging because frequently there are instrumental tracks that I might really enjoy while listening to his albums, and even though I read the liner notes, I just don't seem to remember many song titles, particularly on the PP&Ps.

    But here's a few safe bets that would likely make my Top 10, the first three especially:


    Moonshooter

    Paperchase

    Tibetan Yak Music

    Collections

    Now What Have They Done To My Little Friends

    I will mention Henry: Portraits from Tudor Times and Conversation Piece (the versions I have are from the Living Room Concert). I don't know most of it well enough to choose any more.
