In the week Brian Wilson died this has to be Song of the Week. Brian, who featured in a previous Song of the Week with the anguished 'Still I Dream of It', wrote many great songs - and it's worth checking out all the obituaries which link to them if you don't know his work - but 'Good Vibrations' is the pinnacle. 

"A symphony must be like the world. It must embrace everything."

Probably the most famous quote attributed to Gustav Mahler and when you listen to some of his works it feels like he is changing direction every few notes with the vicissitudes of life. But amid the turmoil he wrote some of the most beautiful romantic music you'll hear. Here Juanjo Mena conducts the BBC Philharmonic.

Supergroup. Ah yes, a bunch of big stars get together only to find they don't like each other. Except in Cream's case they already knew they didn't like each other, at least in the case of Ginger Baker and Jack Bruce.

Cream didn't last long, but they recorded some good stuff including this late song written by Eric Clapton and Beatle George Harrison (with Ringo Star adding the vital line about swans). One for guitarists.
