Ten good songs

[CN211276]

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.

Car songs are different from Hifi Songs , you need songs that are invariably shortish , no long instrumental solos and ones that everyone knows the lyrics two . Of the top of my head from times I was student travelling to Oldham Athletic away games and round france to watch world cup 1998.

2. Manfreed Mann - Fox on the run
3. Billy Bragg - Sexuality
4.Queen - Fat bottom girls
5. Gerry Rafferty - Right Next time
6. REM - losing my religion [ just make words up if you do not know the lyric ]
7. Meat Loaf - Bat out of Hell
9. Genesis . I know what I like [ 1977 seconds out live verision so somebody can bring along a tambourine }
10. Don Mclean - American Pie

What happened to 8? I recommend Dr Feelgood: Roxette.

Oops and never heared any Dr feelgood unless it was without knowing who they were.
