All kinds of music make my maracas shiver with pleasure. My taste is very eclectic: everything from the Arctic Monkeys to ZZ Top, from Balkan Brass to Duke Ellington. These are my favourite songs - not necessarily the original versions, but performed by my favourite singers. So get up off of yo' ass and shake yo' thang to Daphne's choice.

The Byrds: Mr Tambourine Man
Bob Dylan was a great songwriter but with his adenoidal whine he was not the greatest deliverer of his own songs - The Byrds' much more melodic version is the definitive arrangement. Sorry, Bob.
