Comment:

In the latest issue of Q Magazine about Songwriters there was an article/list of the perfect songs in rock history. This inspired me to create a mix on songs/performances that I were my idea of a perfect song. What is your idea of the perfect song?

This looks very pleasant. An alternate Who song could have been Pure and Easy, about the search for the perfect note.

My idea of a perfect song is either "Whats Going On" by Marvin Gaye or "Bus Stop" by the Hollies.

Nice mix indeed. Hate to play the obvious card but I'd say Track 16 is the perfect song. As is He's So Fine by the Chiffons, which is kind of represented here :)

5 & 19 most certainly do it for me... what a perfect closer!

'Chicago' is perfect indeed, and I love 'Your Ghost'... interesting choices. I think mine would be a bit more time-honoured, and as such a less interesting mix!
