and you've been told you can play any music you like, no talk for the entire hour. What would you play? No need to get the stopwatch out to be exact, let's assume all tracks are 3 mins long so you need 20 tracks. You can have a running order in mind though, so what would you play first? Last?
20 might be a bit of an ask, so maybe 10 tracks for 30 mins if you like.

Er, I'll be lazy and play The Fall's first Peel session back to front. Closest thing to an hour of musical perfection for me :)

I have 60 45s on my juke box. There are a few naff B sides , but anyone of the 60 A sides will do the trick.

B sides to vinyl 45's used to be great on Jukeboxes. There was a pub in Clacton that had Bowie's Beauty and The Beast on the jukebox. A few of us used to take great please in putting on the B-side, Sense of Doubt, which used to silence a packed pub in disbelief.

There are some great B sides on my juke box , particularly by Chuck Berry, Everly Brothers , Elvis and , of course The Beatles to mention a few , but there are also some absolute shockers .

Revolution by the Beatles is an outstanding B-Side. As is I Am the Walrus.

Surely, for better 'flow' you go into Thunder Road straight from the intro.

Wasn't there a trend of purposefully bad B-sides? I remember seeing an interview with Terry Jacks who said he did that so the radio stations would only play the A side. Apparently a lot of bands grew frustrated of having both sides played instead of the one they obviously considered better.

Having spent years in student/hospital/community radio I should point out that you need at least one long song in the middle so you can make it to the toilet and back without dead air.

I'm always suggesting we put Alice's Restaurant on not long after the 1.30 sport on Life's a Pitch so we can knock off early.
