Musical guilty pleasures

[Pwalo]

I was a teenage in the '70s, therefore every song I listened to growing up falls into that category. Much to my teenage boys delight. Feck.

[KATWYN]

Angie - Rolling Stones

[Krayy]

I Can Still Make Cheyenne - George Strait

(It was playing in the plane when I left "love of my life #5" in the UK)

"We have both kinds of music....Country AND Western"

[judecatmad]

Ooh, ooh, Don Henley's 'Boys of Summer' too

The early/mid-90s hold so many cool memories - I discovered life. There's so much music that's the soundtrack to those few wonderful years and listening to it all takes me back to a place I'd happily stay for the rest of my days if I could

Just posted it in Big Daves thread......'Higher Trails'...by John Hanlon....1975'

It tells the story of two Hang Gliders in the Southern Alps and how they run out of steam (thermals) and they need to find an updraft to get out of were they are, which is spiraling towards a glacier....meters away from the crashing onto the glacier, they find what they need and climb out of the shit.


Sort of discribes how my life was a few years ago, thats one reason why i love the song.....i also found my Thermal.....

I have to go looking for my thermals before every winter ride.......

Old Shep
When I was a lad
And old Shep was a pup
Over hills and meadows we'd stray
Just a boy and his dog
We were both full of fun
We grew up together that way

I remember the time at the old swimmin' hold
When I would have drowned beyond doubt
But old Shep was right there
To the rescue he came
He jumped in and then pulled me out

As the years fast did roll
Old Shep he grew old
His eyes were fast growing dim
And one day the doctor looked at me and said
I can do no more for him Jim

With hands that were trembling
I picked up my gun
And aimed it at Shep's faithful head
I just couldn't do it
I wanted to run
I wish they would shoot me instead

He came to my side
And looked up at me
And laid his old head on my knee
I had struck the best friend that a man ever had
I cried so I scarcely could see

Old Shep he has gone
Where the good doggies go
And no more with old Shep will I roam
But if dogs have a heaven
There's one thing I know
Old Shep has a wonde

Always reminds me of my border collie.I was 2 when i got him 12 when he died
seems like a life time ago still can bring a tear to me old eyes

[Disco Dan]

and whoever said "Absolute Beginners" by Bowie was an "oldie" must be a child! "old" bowie is some of that awful crap he did in the late '60's: like "The Laughing Gnome" for example: the worst song ever recorded by anyone anywhere.

showing your age methinks...

Bowie's stuff is 'old' ...all of it! "labrinth" anyone?

[Motu]

Alice Cooper's 'Dead Babies' will do 'it' for me.

That's enough, the skeletons are running everywhere atm, I best round em up back to the closet.

[The Stranger:Me]

Used to be "Sweet child of mine' - but yeah, doesn't work for me anymore for some reason.

[sunhuntin]

bright eyes by art garfunkel usually brings a tear to my eye. reminds me of dad, cos he loves watership down.

tom cochrane's life is a highway is another favourite.

[MacD]

He did come fairly spectacularly right in about 1972/73 though: that period through to David Live in 1976 is my favourite of his: Ziggy Stardust, Diamond Dogs, David Live.. then Stage after that. (He toured that show here in 1978 I think). He has remained cool ever since which is saying something.

I've posted this here before I think, but it's worth seeing it again!

I also play the Stranglers version of Walk on By too often...

[ceebie13]

...'Johnny be Good' by Men at Work reminds me of my Brother

Get it right girl... It's "Be Good Johnny"


Spine Tingler for me? The Beatles "A Day in the Life"
