Hi guys, I used to post on here a few years back, and have returned, yay.
I just wanted your ideas... not because I'm lazy but because I'm interested in finding some good new music.
My bf is away studying in New Zealand for a few months, and I want to make him a mix c.d. (how times have changed), no theme, e.g. not a c.d. of love songs or anything, but just great songs, they can be soppy or romantic, or not!
If you have any suggestions, or any favourtie songs let me know. :thumb:
Thanks in advance!:wave:

It doesn't have to be romantic as such - very few people appreciate a gift of Phil Collins, Bryan Adams and REO Speedwagon's greatest hits - but it may as well be meaningful (otherwise why not just buy him Now 163! or whatever number they're at - who's counting?)
