Should anyone be interested, here they are:
- Frank Zappa 'Watermelon in Easter Hay' (off Joe's Garage)
- Beatles 'A Day in the Life' (off Sgt. Pepper)
- Keith Jarrett The Koln Concert
- Mahler Symphony no. 5
- Life Without Buildings 'The Leanover' (off the live album for preference)
- Syd Barrett 'It Is Obvious' (off Barrett)
- Miles Davis 'Flamenco Sketches' (off Kind of Blue)
- Stravinsky 'Petrushka'
& the Zappa would be the if-you-could-choose-only-one item
(so if you've never heard it - do & give your ears a treat)
Normal provisos apply: for any one band/artist there could be another six ... twelve ... tracks; on another day another eight favourites would suggest themselves; are we going by intrinsic musical merit or epiphanic moments or personal/sentimental attachment? Blah-blah-blah.

Sorry, Jonathan, I don't have eight. For decades, I've had only one, but it's on your list:
Keith Jarrett's "Köln Concert"
I sometimes wonder what we'd think of it if he'd called it "The Cologne Concert."

OK, here are mine, for what it's worth:
- Miles Davis, ‘Mademoiselle Mabry’ (Filles de Kilimanjaro)
- Franz Schubert ‘Nacht und Traume’
- The Congos ‘Don’t Blame on I’
- Leos Janacek ‘The Barn Owl Has Not Flown Away’ (On an Overgrown Path)
- Bob Dylan ‘Visions of Johanna’
- Robert Johnson ‘Come on in My Kitchen’
- Anton Karas ‘The Harry Lime Theme’
- Muddy Waters ‘Honey Bee’ or T-Bone Walker ‘I’m in a Awful mood’
and if forced to choose: Janacek – I’d like it played at my funeral!
