Van Morrison, Bob Dylan.Jackson Brown, The Chieftans.Eminem,Tracy Chapman, There is so many it would take me days to list them all and now that I am on the internet so easy to find without visiting record shops and cheaper on p2p.

Don`t you hate it when you post at the bottom of a page and the page turns over? I bloody well do. So, in order that " thet Young Rabert" doesn`t miss out, I repeat...
Very wide taste meself, for relaxation, most classical music and opera, if you haven’t tried it, consider this. If it’s been around for a few hundred years there has to be a reason If you want to try some, do yourself a favour and listen to Georges Bizet`s "Carmen". It will surprise you how much of it you recognise. Sixties Soul, Otis, Sam and Dave, Isleys, Jackie Wilson et al. Heavy metal when it still was. Deep purple before Ozzy developed a taste for bats, Led Zed etc.Used to buy Reggae imports from Birkenhead market when it was still called Ska And no, not the pap that UB40 churns out. I mean the likes of Prince Buster "Rrag a Pussy"(apparently, it’s about "whether she whine or grine" ) Skatellites and Jimmy Cliff. The Beach Boys, who were as innovative as the Beatles, listen to "Pet Sounds" album, in particular "Good Vibrations"
Love Cajun, especially Clifton Chenier and Buckwheat Zydeco.And the "thingy" brothers(Allman?)
Currently have the Stones forty fave licks on the car CD and it’s great to hear Jagger singing the true words and not the censored for radio versions
If you didn’t know it, Honky Tonk Woman has a totally different meaning to the one which starts” I met her in a bar-room, down in Memphis” The real words are "I met a gin-soaked bar-room queen, in Memphis" From there, it descends into a sordid tale of drug induced homosexual depravity, the likes of which can only be seen upstairs in the Ferret and Firkin, High St, Truro, where Parry runs the Mister Gay Cornwall contest on Saturday nights.
Love rhythm and blues, Lou Reed, Van the Man( of course)
Hate speed garage, acid house, rap or anything else which only sounds good after several e`s. Anything by any "boy band", anything featured on the obnoxious "MoBo" awards, Maria Carey, Jay Lo, and any ex-Spice Girl but most nauseating of all is Celine bleeding Dion. You deserve a good slap if you’ve ever bought any thing by this woman. She should’ve been drowned at birth

Definition of Modern Jazz: 3, or more individuals, practicing different pieces of music at the same time in the same room... I don't understand it!
They say it is an aquired taste... I don't want to aquire the taste though.

[harry hackedoff]

Same as that, Sticks. As the fat bloke says, on the Fast Show, "SHITE"
By the way mate, multiple homosexual penetrative sex is allso an aquired taste. Ask Parry. He lurves it
I`d like to add Gilbert and Sullivans socio- political efforts to my list. As valid today as when they were writen. Tone is spot on as the Mikado, with Johnnie two jags as the Lord High Executioner Mendelson could be Nanky-poo( or whatever his name is) A wandring minstrel, I. A thing of rags and patches, of balads, songs and snatches....
Me fave G and S has to be,
"When I was a lad, I served a term, as office boy to an Attorney`s Firm"....
"I polished up the handle so care-full-ee, that now I am the Ruler of The Queens` Nay-vee". Indeed
Point is, about music, listen to it before you make yer mind up, you may be missing out. Unlike multiple penetrative homosexual sex. I just know it wouldn`t be for me. Sorry girls
Aye,

Did some one mention Wagner, start to play that and you will have all Para's marching up and down.

Are you Soldierblue incarnate? Starting to look that way
Kin Squadronaires indeed
Content, wit, irony, humour, sarcasm, interest and low threshold of Boredom. Who`s that then, aitch
Anyone remember Kay Kaiser and his College of Musical Knowlege?
No?
Thank fark for that
Surpluss Pals anyone?
Not effing many
Aye, yawn, ooh, is that the time....

H you are just not going to believe your luck, I'm taking Nurse, her Mum, (Ether Cissy) the Brat and her Hubby out for dinner to celebrate Nurses upcoming Birthday in June. The location, a hotel in the hands of Kernow's Pink Pound.
Crazy Horses, by the Osmonds, would not drag her age out of me.

[Sticky Blue]

In a vain attempt to pull the thread back on line El Prez makes a reference to music and is awarded that Brown Star. Sadly, Wild Horses by the Osmonds wasn't. Crazy Horses by the Osmonds was, he says confidently replacing his Guiness book of hit singles back on the bookshelf.

Ahoy there HH!

Deep purple before Ozzy developed a taste for bats,

I am deeply disappointed Sir! I concur with the majority of your choices of music. I too was heavily into heavy rock of the early seventies, buying most of my albums from that second hand head shop in Birkenhead near Central Station. Unless my brain has been deeply affected by the various noxious fumes that were a permanent feature of the forementioned head shop (name escapes me for the moment) the legendary Ozzy was the vocalist with Black Sabbath. Of course over the years Black Sabbath, Deep Purple and their associated spin off bands had many changes of personnel. Deep Purple's most famous line up consisted of...........blah, blah, blah, etc, etc...................discussion degenerates into a wistful, nostalgic trek through the seventies by a somewhat overweight, ageing, balding, ex biker.

[harry hackedoff]

Sorry mate, I`ll just fill meself in, two dead legs and a chinese burn
Meant to say, Deep Purple, Black Sabbath before Ozzy etc
I`ve just blown me street cred
Tar chef
Aye,

[JulesB]

Just to really freak out the staff in my local MVC I bought, at the same time, The Foo Fighters (loud shouty ex Nirvana people type rock music) and Alison Krauss (Dolly Parton style country Bluegrass music). Oh and I like all the stuff in between those two! Apart from garage, house, shed, bathroom and every other stupid domestic building type named music and thrash, grunge etc....

So pretty open minded when it comes to music.

Oh and Im a fully paid up TYG (or am I already a TOG?) ....... wouldnt even know where Radio 1 was on the dial!!

[Tab]

Now what about Max Bygraves then, now there are some songs to sing along with, he was doing great until Rock and Roll started of in 1955.

[MickElton]

ROCK

Hawkwind (Needle Gun is still a classic), Saxon (Wheels of Steel / 747), and of course the inimitable Angus (avec Bon Scott) of AC/DC coursing through 'Shot Down in Flames'. Others worth a mensh - UFO, Montrose, Girlschool, The Sabs and Thin Lizzy.

All time favourite songs:

1) Rock n Roll - Led Zep
2) The Jack - AC/DC
3) Space Station No. 9 - Montrose

Songs that make you go 'f@#k it, I'm off for a blast on me bike'.

Stairways aka The Gallery, Birkenhead - gone but not forgotton.

Stairways aka The Gallery, Birkenhead - gone but not forgotton.

Ahh.. Stairways.. my favourite hovel... I remember my 2 for 1 drinks on a saturday... and the sticky split ale floors (squelch,squelch) doing the rockers stomp listening to saxon and ac/dc my trusty motorbike outside... honda NSR and i'd always get up in the morning with a sore neck after headbanging too much..

Yes stairways was a truly legendary place for bikers and rockers in the north west I'd say...
