The Soundtrack of your LifeChe Grimsdale writes: Now that Simon Cowell's stolen Everybody Hurts, tell us about songs that mean something to you - good, bad, funny or tragic, appropriate or totally inappropriate songs that were playing at key times.

Snap - "The Power".It's my first clear memory; I would have been 3 or 4 at the time. I found the bridge (or whatever you call it) where the bassline changes and goes duh-duh duh-duh duh-duh duh-duh duuuh, duh-duh duh-duh duh-duh duh-duh duuuh a bit scary, but fascinating too. Similarly, when I was about 12, my dad's copies of Henry Cow's "Beginning: The Long March" and This Heat's "24 Track Loop" seemed at once terrifying and wonderful, and made popular music seem very dull afterwards. In retrospect, it seems likely that these extraordinary pieces unconsciously inspired me to seek out the engaging things not just in music but in all other walks of life. For better or for worse, they did their bit in making me the odd, nearly unclassifiable person I am today.
