Academy Award winning actor Russell Crowe selects the songs that inspired him in this week's Tracks Of My Years.

Russell Crowe has starred in some of the biggest blockbusters ever, from ‘Les Miserables’ to ‘Thor: Love and Thunder’. He won an Oscar for Best Actor in ‘Gladiator’ in 2000, coming a long way from his antipodean beginnings.

He’s a keen musician and has released albums with his own band called ‘30 Odd Foot of Grunts’. He’s livening up summer in the UK by bringing ‘Russell’s Indoor Garden Party’ to venues across the country in July. He promises an organic night of music and stories with his band The Gentlemen Barbers.

Russell’s first two choices come from Crowded House and Prince.

Whatever you're up to, Vern wants to hear from you - email vernon@bbc.co.uk - and if you’d like to apply to take part in Ten To The Top, the address you need is tentothetop@bbc.co.uk
