2:The Undertones Teenage Kicks. (a masterpiece)
3:Oasis-Stop Crying Your Heart Out.
4:Eric Clapton-Tears In Heaven.
5:Pigbag-Papa's Got A Brand New Pigbag. (didnt need words,)
6:Devo-Mongoloid. 7:The Ramones-R.A.M.O.N.E.S. (they played this at their last gig with Lemmy from Moterhead)
8:Green Day-Blitzkrieg Bop.( Ramones cover,but i think they pulled it off)
9:Led Zeplin-Stairway To Heaven. (Timeless classic,our Tracy plays this boss on the guitar)
10:Queen-It's A Kind of Magic. (Loved this song and the film Highlander.)

Tooners,that claplon song,i know where your coming from,they re-released it for a local lad called James Bulger who got abducted and murdered,about 14 years ago so i get a lump in my throte when i hear it.

I loved whip it by Devo,but it was one of them songs i played the arse out of it till i got sick of it...Joko homo....still good?

Gaz said...

I'll have to duck out of this one - I haven't listened to any pop music since my teens.

I do have a very nice cd of Rossini's overtures, which I play loudly whenever I get fed up with all the stupid chatter in the office. Drowns it out and cheers me up at the same time!
