Here's what I chose (I have HR, Ommadawn, TB, TBII, TSODE, Voyager, Crises, Amarok and TBIII in my collection.) 1. Song of the sun 2. Let there be light 3. Celtic rain 4. Clear Light 5. She moves through the fair 6. Weightless 7. The Great Plain 8. Sunset Door 9. Tattoo 10. Flowers of the forest 11. Ascension 12. A new beginning Given the choice of my selection, what would you have chosen? Remember the Cd can only hold 80 minutes   -------------- When the night's on fi-ya, do you need love's arms to hold yew? :D Back to top

Bill Bobaggins Group: Members Posts: 477 Joined: June 2005 Posted: Aug. 22 2005, 09:59 LOL, no I'm not that old but am older.  And I hope that when I reach 78 that my tastes haven't changed!! -------------- Speak friend and enter. Back to top

hiawatha Group: Members Posts: 2391 Joined: Mar. 2004 Posted: Aug. 22 2005, 11:23 For the rather elderly, how about a couple of tracks off of "Platinum"? Particularly: "Charleston", which has a rather old-time feel to it. "I Got Rhythm". The Gershwin original was quite popular decades ago. An old country music fan might like "Flying Start", which is rather twangy. -------------- "In the land of the Dacotahs, Where the Falls of Minnehaha Flash and gleam among the oak-trees, Laugh and leap into the valley." - Song of Hiawatha Back to top
