Thorighly enjoyed the drumming special.

My favourire Classic Rock band is without doubt the Who. Too many great tracks to suggest. I think one of their best is:

The Who - Behind Blue Eyes

Sorry Norrie but tonight was pish, nae Rockin' in A Flat!





BTW What gives with all the Zepp stuff lately... Other Monsters of Rock once existed.

TUESDAY


Scotch Git's tenacious tenacity finally pays off. He resolves to keep his opinion on Monday's show to himself, lest he snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.


'Locomotive Breath' - Jethro Tull


TURN IT UP TO 11!

>8-D

I'd like to hear Communication Speakdown.
















Dismiss the girl in typing pool!

Happy to second the Who, as suggested by Norrrie. Also:

Here I go again - Whitesnake
The boys are back in town - Thin Lizzy
I surrender - Rainbow
Gimme all you're lovin' - ZZ Top
All right now - Free
Back street love - Trapeze
Double trouble - Lynyrd Skynyrd
Albatross - Fleetwood Mac

Joe
Linlithgow

Rock classics. Somehow that sounds like anything from recently won't get a look in. No doubt all the best music was made before 1979. Music hasn't stagnated even if what passes for popular today may not suit all tastes. Was it ever just about popular? Good music is remarkably resilient - there will always be pish pop, but that's no reason to disregard everything else just because .......... Cream will always float to the top. As will turds. Hey-ho.
System Of A Down Toxicity
I think someone suggested this for tonight. It wasn't played. It's worth a play.

I'd care to second Mr Git's Locomotive Breath! However, should Jethro be deemed to be unsuitable then get Helloween's cover on!

Oh, well. Failing that, relying on some failsafes.
ELO Don't Bring Me Down
Queen You've only yourself to blame Killer Queen
and this one's very much in the Dream On category.... Aerosmith
que sera, sera.

looking needy now. commenting on the pic.
my goodness, don't they all sound a bit like their opinion will make a difference? wouldn't it be nice to think that this sort of boy's banter isn't what's influencing anything anymore? Even if it's informed - there is still something wrong about it.
to be continued....

For classic read clich茅
For rock read pop
Goodnight Vienna

#11

?!?

If they play Ultravox they can have my resignation.

I don't imagine for one minute you won't be back, Glen. Keep that acerbic tongue going, if you must, but don't forget, not all folk are arses.
"forget injuries, never forget kindness"
(that's a quote from Confuscius, or so I'm told)

lets face it, we know who the bands are gonna be, but how about featuring some of the lesser known stuff from the monsters......

Ready for Love - Bad Company

Hanging Around - Stranglers

Highway Star - Deep Purple

Paul from Ayr

Great shout PH.

I thought my Who suggestion was just enough off predictable, but just as good and could not be predicted would be either of:

The Who - Real Good Looking Boy, recent track and as good as anything from the heyday.

or

The Who - Dont let Go The Coat, totally overlooked gem.

thanks Norrie, the Who were one of my first thoughts, I was thinking of "Bargain" but any your suggestions would be good

Tuesday:

Metallica - Whiskey in the jar



Ignore the "explicit" labelling, the words are exactly the same as Thin Lizzy's





Or, before anyone says it, the original traditional version...........

'One or two surprises in there' - here's a few -try a couple of these, particularly the first one

Pollution Woman - West Bruce & Laing
Blackmail -10CC
Rip This Joint - The Rolling Stones 2:23 of Rock Heaven
Gimme Some Truth - John Lennon an anthem for us Guardian readers
Run Run Run - Jo Jo Gunne
Plynth - Jeff Beck Group (Rod Stewart on Vocals)
Warming Up The Band - Heads Hands & Feet
Love Is Alive - Garry Wright
Oh I Wept - Free
Need Your Love So Bad - Fleetwood Mac
Glove - Family
Anyday - Derek & The Dominoes
Comin Home - Delaney & Bonnie
Panic in Detroit - David Bowie
Greatest Story Ever Told - Bob Weir
Helter Skelter - The Beatles
City With No Children - Arcade Fire
Ramblin Man - Allman Bros
Up Around The Bend - Creedence
Texas Twister - Little Feat
Nantucket Sleighride - Mountain
Laundromat - Rory Gallagher
Apache Dropout - Edgar Broughton Band
Badge - Cream (George Harrison on Guitar)
Medicine Jar - Wings
Long Train Runnin - Doobie Bros

Occasional obvious one in there, but mostly less obvious - it would be nice to hear unpredictably great music.I've even taken White Room out and put Badge in.

regardez youse

henri

great list hh

Classic Rock!!! This is doing my head in!!! When did rock become classic rock? Is heavy metal really classic rock? What about hard rock, grunge rock? Thrash metal? is it all classic rock too? Soft rock? West Coast rock? Southern Rock, glam rock, folk rock...bet every damn bit of it's ALL classic rock these days. No wonder I cut my hair and veered off towards punk...or was it new wave..or post-punk? And what about new-fangled punk??? it's far too old to be new now...bet it's classic rock too!!! Waaaaaaa!!!!

anyway...for what it's worth...

Bad Company - 'Good Lovin' Gone Bad'
Aerosmith - 'Pink'
Pat Benetar - 'Don't Let It Show' (cover of a great Alan Parsons song)
...and I'll second any Rainbow and Who track

rock behemoth..................



'say you will'................fleetwood mac..................

as soon as i hear the opening bars this song will take me to the SECC in december 2003..... where a scottish first minister was dancing in the aisles........awesome.......the band were ok too!!!!


cheers frae the dale.

#20 @ ya julie.............you missed out edinburgh rock................but mibbe that's gettin too near fife!!!! omg.

cheers frae the dale

#20

Don't worry, they've already bought one of those Father's Day compilation double albums with Status Quo and Deep Purple.

#22. Edinburgh Rock? Garbage! ;o)

#18 Not sure if Gary wright will qualify as one of the great rock bands but if so big big seconds for Love is Alive

AC/DC - 'You Shook Me All Night Long'

Spinal Tap - 'Tonight I'm Gonna Rock You Tonight'

"would be great to get one or two surprises in there"鈽�

Hush / Deep Purple
Rosalie / Thin Lizzy
AD28 Rocking the Paradise / Styx
Dust in the Wind / Kansas
How You Gonna See Me Now / Alice Cooper
She's Gone / Black Sabbath
Give my compliments to the chef / SAHB
Lights Out / UFO

I quite enjoyed last nights show. Don't mind these themes which concentrate on a particular instrument as it means I listen to parts of a track I might not have paid much attention to before.

#20 Hot funk, cool punk, even if it's old junk
It's still rock and roll to me.

seconds for Need Your Love So Bad, City With No Children in It and Ramblin man, henri. I'd second Jeff Beck too, but he's on the list of guitarists beginning with J who don't get played - Jeff Healey, Joe Bonamassa, - or maybe this will be one of the surprises

Quarryman's Lament - Joe Bonamassa
Leave the Light On - Jeff Healey - if this ain't classic rock, damned if I know what is

please could we have our italics back?

Wonder if they have stolen the capn's *stars* too?

Nope ~ phew.

Why do Billy's smiley faces come up as wee squares on my computer?

How do you know they're smiley faces then?

Previously on the blog....

Glen - Only folk with expectations suffer disappointment. I don't hate men! Well, one or two select individuals maybe! I just don't want to live with one. Like everyone else my opinions are based on my previous experiences.

It's Only Rock 'N' Roll (But I Like It) - Rolling Stones

;o)

Quote from music 鈥渆xpert鈥� Richard, 鈥淚 don鈥檛 know anything about GONG鈥�

After all, they鈥檝e only been around 42 years, constantly touring all over the world and made about 60 albums in various line-ups, plus loads more individual projects.

Today's trailer - "Nothing new, nothing experimental".

Nothing you haven't heard a thousand times before.

Raids a lottery

I'd Love to Change the World - Ten Years After
Let's Get Rocked - Def Leppard
Grounds for Divorce - Elbow
The Pretender - Jackson Browne
Running Down a Dream - Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers
The Lodi - Creedence Clearwater Revival
Closer - Kings of Leon
Born Under a Bad Sign - Cream

Is it just me? or is the blog becoming an angry place?... "May the music keep your spirits high": Jackson Browne.... that's my life suggestion not me play request for tonight, by-the-way.

Here's my play requests:

Snake Oil: Steve Earle
Motherless Children: Eric Clapton
Check It Out: John Mellecamp
Spead Your Wings: Queen

#36 caws I'm at work. My home Mac shows you as a nice, kind smiley person. During the day you're a bit square

DC

Lo! Dietary star!

no, you're right, Mike and though I moan as much as anyone I do think we're getting swamped in negative vibes, man. Time to get back to the song suggestions otherwise we'll be consigned to the naughty corner and those FB folks will take over.

For a start I think we should dust off our memories and get some of those jotter themes up here, maybe choose a set of five that could run for a week.

Peace Train - Cat Stevens

Going along with PH`s suggestion of lesser played tracks from the monsters, how about this one


Little Darlin - Thin Lizzy


A brilliant wee rocker from their early days you never hear anywhere.


And for Craig Levein

Neymar Mr Nice Guy - Alice Cooper

Rory Gallagher - 'Laundromat'

From 'Live in Europe', awesome 鈽� (DC it's a smiley face!!)

Good shout Billy!

Here! If there was ever a night to break Glen`s record of seven predictos, its tonight.

fine shout Gaie...

How about a week of colour themes... it could go like this;

The colour can be in the song or artist title but also any shades/derivitives or descriptives of that colour.... so

Monday: RED (crimson, rose, scarlett, lilac, pink, ginger) etc

Tuesday: YELLOW (gold, cream, blonde) etc

Wednesday: BLUE (turquoise, navy, royal)

Thursday: GREEN (emerald, grass, leaf) etc... or maybe BROWN

Friday: BLACK and WHITE (including grey)

... you get the idea!

Is it just me or is there an unwholesome whiff of homespun philosophy and unsolicited advice in the air?

Let's get back to requests and theme ideas which will be occasionally patronised but usually ignored.

#45 Eve bags invite!

#48 OK, what's considered opinion predictions?

Note to B&B: these are *NOT* my suggestions...

Howsabout:

Deep Purple - Smoke on the Water
The Rolling Stones - Brown Sugar
Free - All right now
Alice Cooper - Elected
Queen - Bohemian Rhapsody
Black Sabbath - Paranoid
Broooooooce - Born in the USA
Led Zeppelin - Stairway to Heaven
Jimi Hendrix - All along the watchtower
John Mellencamp - Jack & Diane
Thin Lizzy - Boys are back in town

and maybe the f***book fave:

Elton John - Saturday night's all right for fighting




DC

The Doobie Brothers - 'China Grove'

ee..... vast big vein

Summer of '69 - Bryan Adams
Livin' On A Prayer - Bon Jovi
Sweet Child O' Mine - Guns N' Roses

na... it's just you Glen.

#48 Not expecting many surprises then? I suppose if you start with low expectations...

#55 Good list Glen 鈽�

Mot枚rhead by Hawkwind!

#58

I forgot

More Than A Feeling - Boston

A shoo in.

Enjoy while you're thinking.

I suppose someone will ask for the appalling Free Bird

#50

Win wholesome huff

of

plumpish honey poohs

and

a cuddliest invoice.

And I know CD agrees with me on this.

#62

I want you to want me ~ Cheap Trick

#64

You're getting me all mixed up now.

there's definitely an air of tense anticipation about tonite's playlist..........who's gonna be the surprise package then?........i'm not predicting a riot but i do think there is going to be some interesting diversity.
there, said it.
now i'm off to the bookies............(hawkwind/silvermachine 40/1 outsider)


cheers frae the dale

#67 What are the odds?

Hayseed Dixie - 'Ace of Spades'

Glen - some brilliant suggestions. Must be a theme you find stimulating at last! Get Them On!!

Gloria I mean, by Them.

#52 & #55

Radar Love - Golden Earring
You Aint Seen Nothing Yet - BTO
Since You've Been Gone - Rainbow

#39 Glen - how right you are and following blogs have done nothing to convince me otherwise.

#71

You omitted the compulsory T Rex

#72

I'm just an embittered old man - there's still hope for you.

#49

good theme suggestion

#50

homespun's the best I can do, I'm not sure what Plato had to say about GIO.

Still, I'm glad you got my drift.

I'm an embattered old fish and my enthusiasm for this show is rapidly waning.

Wild, angry pain

I knew you wouldn't be able resist joining in.

playing raw din

Nay, drawing lip

Blimey - I almost forgot to ask for

YOU AIN'T SEEN NUTHIN' YET by BACHMAN TURNER OVERDRIVE!

Bring me the embitter head of Alfredo....

Dear Boney Maclean,

I'm on Listen Again and is thon Night Flight To Venus drumbeat no the same as the one they used in Rasputiin?

Ruffled Brow of Rio

My theme suggestions chucked out with the folder were:

Mythology
Herbs + Spices

#82 I shall investigate!! The truth will out....

A couple of Bowie suggestions which might slightly surprise

Bowie - The Supermen

Bowie - Black Country Rock

Dear Ruffled Brow of Rio

After hours of careful listening it transpires that Keith Forsey has used the same drum sound on 300 hits including Music Soothes The Savage Breast by Spectrum in 1968, Donna Summer, Sparks, Billy Idon etc.

G Miller commented in his facebook "I make my way to the internet cafe for this tedium".

Boney Maclean

Drummers must have a very weak trade union

Right! Let's try this...

Sorted! Dinnae put an i in the pointy brackets. Put em insteed. Dinnae forget /em when yer feeneeshed.

>8-D

by the way...

you've been working on that all day, Scotch? you must be exhausted

#90

em......

Scotch you and Glen may appreciate this link...

#92

I can't speak for Glen, but I much prefer link.

>8-D

Since blog bingo didn't quite work out as we'd all hoped, maybe the blog could be allowed to pick the montage every night. Thus we'd get to hear a few seconds of blog obscurities.

Still I mustn't grumble, one of mine got played. Jo Jo Gunne. Track of the night I thought, if only because everything else was entirely predictable.

regardez youse

henri

Hello again, this is Chris from France (again). Tonight I also suggested 'Caroline' by Concrete Blonde, since some listeners remarked that there were too few female singers. I think Johnette Napoletano is (was? - I wonder if the band still exists or if they have split up) the front woman. And now I am wondering if I have got her name right. I know there is an American diplomat by the same name (LOL) but the two are certainly not related in any way...

Fantastic theme tonight, hope it's not too long before it gets another night

Nae Cooper. Nae Hendrix. Nae Sabbath. Nae SAHB. Nae Stones. Nae Thorogood. Nae Tull.

Let's do it again next week. If we leave it too long we'll get the same playlist.

At least Glen got Freebird played

and More Than A Feeling

Ach well then...


GOOOAAAAAAALLLLLLLL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
