I will be going on a minibus trip to Ascot races next month with friends. In advance we all have to select 10 songs to go on a Spotify playlist. After some thought I came up with these.
1. Status Quo - Caroline
2. Iron Maiden – The number of the beast
3. UFO – Shoot shot
4. Judas Priest – You got another thing coming
5. Saxon – 747 Strangers in the night
6. Black Sabbath – Paranoid
7. Led Zeppelin - Black Dog
8. Rolling Stones – Jumping Jack Flash
9. David Bowie – Rebel Rebel
10. Rainbow – All night long
Good hooks, good riffs and all from the golden era.
