Inspired by @steve_asbell I& #39;m starting a thread on bits of songs that I love and could listen to over and over.
Disclaimer: of course I adore the songs these bits are from - without the build up the bits wouldn& #39;t be so good. But I must admit I know exactly where to drop the needle/fast forward the tape/skip the CD/hit the play bar to get to them straight away
