Many years, years ago while browsing a vinyl records store, I viewed an album cover for a cliche', campy and cheesy romantic record circa 1950's era. The instant and amusing response I had for it was, 'Wow --LOVE SONGS for LOSERS'.



From that inception and for the longest time, I complied a list of selected songs that would reflect a concept for an eponymous film project, that has yet to spread its wings.



Any suggests what might suit this work in progress are welcomed, I'm listening to any worthy input.



Enjoy!

Favourite Albums




Admittedly, some albums won't make the list due to the fact that I have a disorganized collection of mp#'s from fantastic musicians, like Peter Frampton to ACDC and Chicago. There is a small place in my heart for the compact disc. Only albums that I have joyfully heard in its entirety can qualify; close calls don't add up, like No Doubt's 'Tragic Kingdom' or compliations. Original soundtracks are welcomed.




Once again, its a work in progress.
