The British Library have asked British politicians to name their number one album, and it seems that The Beatles, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd and Deep Purple are big in Westminster. Presumably we can conclude from this that the likes of Coldplay, Gorillaz, Editors and Kaiser Chiefs will be very big there in 2030.
Anyway, Culture Secretary Tessa Jowell chose 'Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band', Education Secretary Alan Johnson went for 'Revolver', whilst Michael Howard decided on 'The White Album' (all The Beatles, clearly). George Galloway chose 'Blood On The Tracks' by Bob Dylan and weather girl Sian Lloyd's fiancé, MP Lembit Opik, cited 'Led Zeppelin II', saying: "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."
Labour MP Rosemary McKenna went for the 'Saturday Night Fever' soundtrack, saying" "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." Disgraced Lib Dem Mark Oaten likes 'Dare' by Human League, and says: "this album reminds me of my last year at school and brings up a lot of happy memories." He went on to add: "Every track is a killer, not a filler," proving once and for all that MPs shouldn't talk about music if they want to get down with the kids.
