Forgive me if this has been covered somewhere else, but I've turned 60 this year and along with my shiny tube/bus pass I was wondering what age you have to be before you get discounts on tickets at LR. Also - how do they verify your age? Thanks
Sure it's been done before. But keen to hear lfw choices
Mine are
* Strawberry Fields Forever (Lennon/McCartney) * Shine on you crazy diamond (Gilmour/Waters) * Mother Earth (Young) * Sad Eyed Lady of the Lowlands (Dylan) * Angie (Jagger/Richards) * She's The One (Springsteen) * Tubular Bells (Oldfield)
Any fans out there? Would be interested to hear your top 5, and reasons. Rules: one song per album.
Mine are:
* Sad Eyed Lady of the Lowlands (1966). Perfection. Elgeiac, wistful, beautiful. I would defy you to find 11 minutes of 'popular' music more poignant.
* Desolation Row (1965). Lyrically up there with TS Eliot and Thomas Hardy. Stark and oppressive, but lures you into to its hypnotic melody.
* Tangled Up In Blue (1975). Probably the best 'ending of relationship' song ever written. Unbearably sad.
* With God on our Side (1963). Voltaire: 'Good people do bad things, bad people do bad things. It takes religion for otherwise good people to do bad things.'
* Sara (1976). Probably the second best 'ending of relationship' song. Rips your guts out.
