I've changed Wales

Out of my list the two best are Fisherman's Blues and Halcyon. Unforgettable songs

France - Biological by Air
Scotland - Bubble by King Creosote (& John Hopkins)
Ireland - Down in the Street Below by The Divine Comedy
Wales - Sooner or Later by World Party
Italy - Line of Fire by Junip (okay the bloke's Argentinian but he'd probably play for Italy if he was any good at rugby)

I'm going to contribute at my own pace, but we'll start off with England. (I'll probably not leave London anyway.) will allen https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=en-bfQ5IH9I

They still play a lot around the festivals in Ireland.

That was back when we made good music before Louis Walsh turned us into boyband country.

Here is another from that era you might like Sam

The Pale: Butterfly

https://youtu.be/whUXLxop4vg

Super furries for Wales - something for the weekend

Air or daft punk for France

Pretty much any Ash tune for ireland

And I quite like belle and sebastian

Yep love Party Line by Belle and Sebastian

Great idea. Some of my choices are influenced by experiences rather than being my absolute favourite music.



France - Daft punk - Get lucky. Almost by default (sorry).
Italy - Paverotti - Nessun Dorma (I saw Turandot in Verona and even though I don't like opera, it made my hair stand on end).
Scotland - Inside by Stiltskin (nearly went with something by Big Country)
Ireland - Almost anything by Enya so lets say "Only Time" but it really could be almost anything.
Wales - Delilah by Tom Jones (a mate took us all to see him in Las Vegas the night before his wedding almost 20 years ago)
England - Cloudbusting by Kate Bush. Just perfect. A genius at her absolute peak.

France: Stardust - Music Sounds Better With You.

Grand Slam and /thread

Quality line up of fun and reflection here:

ENGLAND: Soul II Soul - Back To Life

FRANCE: Serge Gainsbourg & Jane Birkin - Je t'aime... moi non plus

WALES: Shirley Bassey - JEZAHEL

ITALY: Umberto Tozzi - Gloriai

SCOTLAND: Rod Stewart - I Was Only Joking

IRELAND: Enya - Boadicea
