The_Magic Rat Posted April 23 This so tough. The only way I could do this exercise was to imagine it was like an executioners last meal and these were the last 10 songs I would hear. Many of them I have over listened to over the years and they don't necessarily reflect the stuff I am listening to now but damn I would want to hear them as a last go around; 1) Crush with Eyeliner: REM 2) Dignity: Deacon Blue 3) Racing in the Street 4) Mississippi: Dylan (was so close to it being Shooting star) 5) The Ship Song: Nick Cave 6) Yellow Ledbetter: Pearl Jam 7) Did I ever Love you: Cohen 8) Look on down from the bridge: Mazzy Star 9) These are the days of our lives: Queen (I was a huge queen fan as a child) 10) Dont look back in anger: Oasis (I was a huge oasis fan as a teen Many, many omissions; however which way I tried I couldn't jam in Jason Isbell, Ryan Adams, Gaslight Anthem/Brian, Patty Griffin, Lucinda Williams, Greenday, Tom waits... the list goes on and on. Man this was hard. 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The_Magic Rat Posted April 24 On 4/21/2020 at 6:36 PM, HeroOfVirtue said: Ok, I have mine. Following rules apply - one song per musician with no double dipping across different project because that's cheating, and no Bruce at all because that's stupid. Because what's the point? The whole list would be Bruce songs if one of them is allowed, so no. Forget it. In no particular order: The Horrible Crowes - Blood Loss Social Distortion - I Was Wrong Dropkick Murphys - The State of Massachusetts Little Steven - I've Been Waiting U2 - With or Without You Johnny Cash - Hurt [cover] The Clash - Spanish Bombs Leonard Cohen - The Partisan [cover] Nobuo Uematsu - Main Theme of Final Fantasy VII Creedence Clearwater Revival - Who'll Stop the Rain? Blood loss. Yes! If this was top ten Albums Elsie would be in mine hands down. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Born To Walk Posted April 25 On 4/19/2020 at 8:19 PM, Born To Walk said: Little Children – Billy J Kramer With The Dakotas My earliest music related memory, indeed maybe my earliest memory, is getting a picture of Billy J Kramer with coupons cut from packets of tea. My parents had very few pop records, but did have the Little Children EP, so I guess this was my earliest favourite record. Thirty years later I got to see him a few times on 60s package shows. I’ll Get You – The Beatles Maybe a strange choice for a huge Beatles fan. I was too young in the 1960s, although I was always aware of their existence and had one of those little plastic guitars that would be worth a fair bit of money in good condition today. Another of the rare pop records my parents owned was She Loves You, but I always liked the B side. It wasn’t until the late 1970s and 1980s that I became an obsessive and remember buying 1967-1970 from my first salary. Where Do You Go To My Lovely? – Peter Sarstedt As I started listening to the radio and getting into music this was an early favourite of mine. I saw him a few times later on, mostly as part of the 60s package shows which started in the mid 1980s. However I also saw him play a show with his brother Clive (AKA Robin) at Leeds City Varieties for an audience of probably 35 or so people and got to have a chat with him in the bar afterwards. Alone Again (Naturally) – Gilbert O’Sullivan In the early 1970s I listened to the radio as much as I could, either Radio 1 or, in the evening, the notorious fading signal of Radio Luxembourg. So many songs are evocative of that era, I could have picked Without You, anything by The Carpenters or many others that take me back to that time of my life, but this one by Gilbert O’Sullivan seems to stand out as being especially evocative of that time. Rock and Roll I Gave You The Best Years Of My Life – Kevin Johnson No particular story, just one of my all-time favourite records. Kathy’s Song (Paul Simon Songbook version) – Paul Simon In 1975 Radio 1 ran a six part series ‘Simon & Garfunkel – Together & Alone’ which led to me becoming obsessed with their music. Much as I loved their joint records, there was something about Paul’s stripped down solo versions that appealed to me. I’ve chosen Kathy’s Song, despite it being much the same as the S&G version, as I still consider it to be one of Paul’s finest songs. Scenes From An Italian Restaurant – Billy Joel A record this length was a rarity on daytime Radio 1, however I heard it one day and it intrigued me enough that I later found myself standing in Vallance’s electrical store holding a copy of The Stranger trying to decide whether to spend the grand sum of £3.79 (or was it £3.29?). I bought it, took it home and listened to this track through headphones. I soon had his earlier albums and bought all the subsequent ones as they were released. A great live performer who I first saw at Wembley Arena in 1984, the show prior to the one that was broadcast on BBC TV. Born To Run – Bruce Springsteen I was lying in bed one Saturday morning when this came on the radio. I thought it was fantastic and went to the little record shop in town later that morning and bought the album. From little acorns ….. Sequel – Harry Chapin Like most UK Chapin fans I discovered his music via DJ Noel Edmonds. I knew, and liked, songs like WOLD, Cats In The Cradle and Flowers Are Red, but it was Noel Edmonds playing Sequel every week in late 1980 on his Sunday morning show that prompted me and a friend to start to investigate his music properly. I got to see Harry live a month or two later at Leeds University and, the following night, at York University, the first touring American artist I ever saw, beating Bruce by around four months. Sadly that was his last UK tour and he died a few months later. Having met him, his death probably hit me harder than John Lennon Meet Me On The Corner – Lindisfarne For many years Lindisfarne were the act which I’d seen live most times, starting with a show at Leeds Grand Theatre the week before those Harry Chapin concerts in 1981. I saw them support Bob Dylan and Santana at St James’ Park then enjoyed so many of their Christmas Shows through the second half of the 1980s and into the 1990s. Meet Me On The Corner was another song that is so evocative of that period growing up in the early 1970s, that it probably remains my favourite. These aren’t intended to be my ten favourite records, but are special for the reasons stated. I would have liked to have included something by The Searchers (who I’ve seen as often as Bruce), The Carpenters (Karen’s voice makes me melt), Martyn Joseph and others. I’d also have liked to include something from Jesus Christ Superstar, the first of that type of show I ever saw which blew me away and is still one of my favourite shows. Bugger! I've just realised I made an important omission, although I don't know which of the above to kick out. Morningtown Ride - The Seekers Another early childhood memory, associated with Christmas and conjuring up images of Christmas morning opening presents in my parents' bedroom. It was such a thrill to go with mum to see them live in 2014 on their Golden Jubilee tour, and in particular to hear this song. 4 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
