This is a question The Soundtrack of your Life

Che 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.

I have a confession.
I bought Graceland, against my better judgement knowing Simon had bum-raped the indigenous musicians, and took it took Greece on holiday. Played it in the taverna where I stayed. The owner's sons - who ran the bar - loved it, so I left it. They rang me at home two months later saying it was worn out, and could I send another cassette. Which I did as it was very hard and very expensive to get any new(ish) releases there. They had copied of course for friends and as spares, but those sounded crap.
So probably thousands of tourists had had to put up with unrelenting Graceland all that summer. On the other hand, an improvement on Zorba the Greek - and it was a mainly kraut holiday area anyway.

Oops - sorry Noel.
I was busy editing the rest of my reply.
