Britain's politicians have revealed their musical tastes - and most of them are stuck in the 1970s. The British Library asked MPs to name their favourite number one album, and Led Zeppelin's 1969 classic Led Zeppelin II came out on top, with Pink Floyd and Deep Purple also proving popular. Lib Dem MP Lembit Opik said: "Zeppelin made a new kind of music. They created a genre many have copied but no-one has equalled. And Whole Lotta Love is the greatest rock song ever." The Beatles proved the most popular band. Culture Secretary Tessa Jowell opted for Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, while Education Secretary Alan Johnson preferred Revolver. Former Tory leader Michael Howard went for the White Album. Respect MP George Galloway chose Blood On The Tracks by Bob Dylan. Rosemary McKenna, Labour MP, picked the Saturday Night Fever soundtrack. "It's a fantastic dance album and never fails to make me smile. It's the most played on my iPod and in my car," she said. Dare by Human League is the favourite of Lib Dem MP Mark Oaten. "This album reminds me of my last year at school and brings up a lot of happy memories. Every track is a killer, not a filler," he said. I'd be intrigued to see the full list. |

it only makes sense for their tastes to be from the 70's, that is whenn they were musically exploring.
most of my tastes are 80's I woudl say, dinosaur, sonic youth, butthole surfers, etc

Steady on sunshine. I think enough of us remember the Thatcher-era to be incredibly unlikely to vote Tory. Admittedly, there's not much strength in Lib Dem and Labour are very close to forcing our hand... but not the Torys. Anything but them. Which is why I'm anticipating a very low voter turnout this time, cynical fuck that I am.
