The 15 Song Album collection:

[AlanL]

An easy one this time. It's a new year, songs about a fresh start.

01 - Starting a New Life - Van Morrison

 

[Gina]

01 - Starting a New Life - Van Morrison
02 - Break it Down Again - Tears for Fears

Geez Alan, that capper on my list was really rubbish but at least it lasted less than a minute and wasn't that god awful Duran Duran song. Does anyone know if my list set the record for the longest to fill?

Hmmm... Without reading the entire thread, hard to know what themes have already been used.

How about...

Songs which include the name of a Canadian city/town (or Province, I guess) - not necessarily in the title:

01 - Bobcaygeon - The Tragically Hip (includes two, actually)

 

[terrences]

Rats, got beat to the punch

01 - Bobcaygeon - The Tragically Hip (includes two, actually)
02 - Vancouver Shakedown - Nazareth

 

[cogitech]

Why'd you usurp the thread? You don't like Sting, or what?

EDIT: That's better.

 

[davym]

You leave Sting alone! he's probably helped the sales of Prozac almost as much as Leonard Cohen and in less time too

 

[sofaspud]

01 - Bobcaygeon - The Tragically Hip (includes two, actually)
02 - Vancouver Shakedown - Nazareth
03 - Nova Scotia - Jonathan Edwards

I like Sting for the most part, but was hoping someone would bookend the list with the same title by Van Morrison.
