<p>From the BBC report, it seems there are two main parts to this. Colleen Murphy is quoted asking: <em>"Everyone, stop multi-tasking, sit down, open your ears and do some heavy listening".</em> Fair enough if it means music is not just background noise. And, sure, pay attention to the album, the whole album, and nothing but the album. But why the strong disapproval of pick & mix?</p>

<p>From the BBC report, it seems there are two main parts to this.

<p>Laura Barton in her column <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/music/series/hailhailrocknroll" target="_blank">Hail, Hail Rock'n'Roll</a> shares her delight about particular bands, singers, and songs. She's like a thoughtful generous friend who brings pick 'n' mix musical presents: "Hey! Do you know this? Well don't miss it!"</p>
<p>"Heavy listening?" No. But most definitely open ears and <em>intent</em> listening. For the same reason I sometimes read, <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KdZL33997OI" target="_blank">watch</a> and listen to <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.therestisnoise.com/" target="_blank">Alex Ross</a>, of the New Yorker. He's both a guide and an explorer who sends us sound pictures.</p>
This week Laura Barton introduced me — not to Caetano Veloso whose music I'd met before — but to his version of <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eFh5wHUATFc" target="_blank">Cucurrucucú.</a> And having explored a bit of the history, background and words of the song, she decided that the music itself was enough.

<p>Oh so many to choose from: Revolver, The Gang of Four, Joy Division Bob Marley & Kraftwerk..etc., etc., all great</p>
<p> </p>
<p>But for me the top three are: </p>
<p> </p>
<p>3/. <strong>Elton John</strong> Captain Fantastic & the Brown Dirt Cowboy <strong>1975</strong></p>

<p> </p>
<p>and No.1 must be for me.</p>
<p>1/. <strong>David Bowie</strong> - Heroes /Helden <strong>1978</strong></p>
<p>Until last year I lived in the house in Berlin that Bowie and Iggy Pop lived together when the Heroes album was recorded. The German version is thought by many fans to be the better version. (see comments on clip).</p>
<p>A song about tearing down the Berlin Wall: <em>Wir können sie schlagen für alle Zeiten - Dann sind wir Helden!</em></p>

Crikey, where to start..this way leads to musical mental madness. My first batch of seminal suggestions are Exile on Main Street, The Doors (Eponymous). Music in a doll's house (Family) Bop Till You Drop (Ry Cooder) and Damn The Torpedoes (Tom Petty)
