Babyboomer's post prompted me to set this thread up.
Time for some fun folks. Most, if not all of us love music in one form or another. So how about we give it some thought and post our top 10 all time favourite SINGLES records.
The list does not have to be in preferential order just a list will do. Let's say only one track from any one group / artist.
What we could do after 4 or 5 weeks is to pick out the songs that are most frequently selected and have our own poll to find the best.
Maybe Valle Radio when they come back on air could get involved. In the future we could have similar polls for best rock tracks, Motown, ballads, pop, classical, etc etc.
If someone from Valle Radio would like to get in touch.........
List it like this so that I can copy the lists into a database
