Important books and favourite songs

jauncourt tagged me about 5 books that have meant a lot to me and mirazandar tagged me about 5 favourite songs. This is going to be very hard and also a little random, since especially music is depending a lot on what I've been listening to lately.

5 favourite songs:
The Lemonheads: "Big gay heart"
The Smiths: "There is a light that never goes out" (so sue me for being unoriginal!)
Joni Mitchell: "A case of you"
The Clash: "Safe European home"
The Clash: "White man in Hammersmith palais"

5 books that meant a lot to me
J R R Tolkien: "Lord of the rings"
Robert Heinlein: "Time enough for love"
Marion Zimmer Bradley: "The mists of Avalon"
Thomas Laqueur: "Making sex: Body and gender from the greeks to Freud"
Guerin, Daniel: "Anarchism. From theory to practice"

And, for good measure, a sixth book: Starhawk: "Dreaming the dark. Sex, magic and politics"

An article from The Guardian on clothing in the middle ages

Medieval hoodies... Sigh. I just hope it's the journalist and not the historian who's behind the misconceptions. But one cannot be sure, a lot of scholars in different fields read in symbols in medieval clothing without knowing how people in general were dressed. Yes, young people wore hoods in the middle ages, yes, Robin Hood (if he existed) did so too, but so did everybody else, so it's not a symbol of juvenile delinquency.
And why should young people especially spend less on their clothes and therefore have shorter clothes?
And linen underpants for girls and cross-gartered hose common in the middle ages?
The icelandic word BTW just means pants with gores and refers to male pants as opposed to female pants which sometimes were worn in Iceland and may have had a split crotch like much later women's drawers (Jochens, Jenny:"Before the Male Gaze:The Absence of the Female Body in Old Norse" in Sex in the Middle Ages edited by Joyce E. Salisbury).
