Week 7: Meat Loaf – I’d Do Anything for Love (But I Won’t Do That)

I wanted something appropriate seeing as today is Valentine’s Day, and immediately thought of this track which I listen to on a regular basis. It has a lot of great qualities, and I definitely consider it one of the greatest tracks ever recorded.

I can readily admit–as one might have noticed–that I’m a sucker for long bombastic tracks that keeps building up as it progresses.

Week 6: Danny Elfman – Alice’s Theme

Apart from music, another big interest of mine is movies. Naturally, music in movies is also something I’m very much into. I have a few favorite composers, one being Danny Elfman (I know, shocking, right!?). Of all the music mr. Elfman has composed, Alice’s Theme from Alice in Wonderland is one of the tracks I consider to be absolutely amazing.

Week 4: Genesis – Driving the Last Spike

In 1992 I visited my relatives in Wuppertal, Germany. On that trip I bought my very first portable CD player, and the first CD I bought and listened to was Genesis’ album We Can’t Dance. Of all the great tracks on that album, Driving the Last Spike was my favorite since the first time I heard it. Since then, I’ve discovered a lot of older Genesis albums, but none of them bring back as many memories and as much nostalgia as We Can’t Dance.
