    I don't do Religion (or Shakespeare for that matter) so the rules (my rules) say that I can substitute those for two more records

    Interesting you picked Dylan's 'Visions of Johanna' as Andrew Motion the former Poet Laureate reckons it's the best poem of the 20th century.

    Perhaps you should try 'em (Religion & Shakespeare). Especially if you're self isolating.

    What can I say, other than I am a man of impeccable taste. I do prefer the live recording from the Royal Albert Hall to the studio version.

    She's not there -Zombies
    Turning my Heartbeat up - MVPs *
    Find somebody to Love - Queen
    The message- Grandmaster Flash
    Welcome to the Pleasuredome - Frankie
    Father Figure - George Michael
    Two become one - Spice girls**
    Crazy in Love - Beyonce
    LSF - Kasabian

    * Keep the Faith

    ** Yes I know....but it was number one when we found we were expecting our first child. Thought it had been written for us

    That's fine but if you were invited onto the Long running Radio 4 programme currently hosted by Lauren Laverne and created by the late Roy Plomley, you would have to ditch 2 records. You could always use Shakespeare's and the bible to light a fire.
