G'day, Now as you may have gathered, although I lean towards the more metallic genres, I do have quite a few songs that i've found over the years that whatever portable music gizmo Im using at the time, these songs find a home onsaid gadget..
BITS & PIECES
So lets go through the list of songs Im stuck with...AND WHAT A LIST
WHAT A MOUTH
The Angels - Mr Damage, Chuck Berry - Let it Rock, Ram Jam - Black Betty , Sex Pistols - Holidays in the Sun, Journey - Anyway you want it, Kevin Johnson - Rock n Roll I gave you all the best years of my life, Wings - Mull of Kintyre, Neil Young - Powderfinger, Tommy Steele - What a Mouth, MotorheadGirl - Please dont touch, Black Sabbath - Never say die, Led Zeppelin - Rock n Roll, Meat Loaf - Bat out of hell, Dave Clark 5 -Bits and Pieces, Blue Cheer - Summertime Blues, KISS - Rock and Roll all Nite, Rose Tattoo -Never Too Loud, Michael Monroe - Dead Jail or Rock n Roll, Sweet - Fever of Love, David Bowie - Ziggy Stardust, King Crimson - 21st Century Schizoid man, Mott the Hoople - All the Young Dudes, Sweet Turn it Down.,
Dead , Jail or Rock n Roll
Yep, your a bit right, thats fairly eclectic innit?...
ONE PIECE AT A TIME
The first tune that got stuck in my head was What a Mouth by Tommy Steele, which i found buried in a pile of 45s my uncle owned but before you go mental, I was only six when I found it
RADAR LOVE
And since that point in Reck n Roll history I have expanded expodentially in many varied directions, I mean King Crimson in a song list next to The Sweet ?..I would imagine Robert Fripp from Crimson going rather grumpy seeing that. But then the whole list is a bit like that Chuck Berry next to The Sex Pistols, The Angels (or Angel City if your a yank) next to Wings, Kevin Johnson next to Michael Monroe and so on and so forth .
FEVER OF LOVE
Now like I said , these tunes have been around a while, the newest one would probably be Michael Monroe from 1989 and the first would definately be Tommy Steele for release date two years before my birth from 1960 which slightly pipped Chuck Berrys "Let it Rock"
HOLIDAY IN THE SUN
The list has some dead set legends in it (Led Zep, Bowie, Neil Young, DC5, Johnny Cash) and some that came that close its not worth talking about (Mott, Rosey Tatts, Golden Earring, Michael Monroe) and some that have gone down in music history for reasons both good and godawful (Kiss, Pistols, Meat Loaf, Wings) and one hit wonders (in Orstraylya anyway, Ram Jam)
BLACK BETTY
Yep, from Orstraylya to Blighty to the Seppo's ( and a glam rocker from Finland) my music tastes are decidely wacky But that can be said of just about everybody cant it , hell, wouldnt it suck if we all dug the same stuff... anyway.... raise your glasses to Rock n FKN Roll and to paraphrase The Sweet ...FOR GOD SAKES TURN IT UP
Time for a Quo top five (ish) mainly because I just got the double dvd of all their film clips, so that's me inspired.
the first time I saw them was when they toured Orstraylya with Slade AND wot a gig ...OUTSTANDING, that was me corrupted
Then came Down Down on the radio as a new release, and some album purchases later I had myself a fine collection of Quoism's that has yet to abate .
There has been a couple of reunion tours with Lancaster and Coughlan recently and even more recently the boys have gone sideways into Aquostic gigs ....and Ric Parfitt looks to be retired (sort of) so I guess thats Quo to the Remember them file in my brain...OR NOT think i'll just leave them were they belong.... on top of a massive pile of musical greatness
Now I guess we all know the "BIG" Hits , Mystery song, Paper plane , Rockin etc etc ..so this top five will be more recent ones that have found a permanent place on my mp3 gizmo....and here they are .... do with what you see fit
