Love most stuff pre 90's. I'm very much a rock, pop, rock n roll fan, and anything in between really.
Me and my mate were big Lindisfarne fans back in the day. I talked to Alan Hull (RIP) (lead singer/songwriter) once outside of the Victoria Palace Theatre in London.
Just him, me, and my mate.
He took the pee out of my accent by repeating what I said in his version of a cockney accent. I went off him a bit after that.
Brilliant songwriter, Paul McCartney rated him highly.
My mate got given the drummers drum sticks.

Disparate pick but here goes:
Alright Now - Free
Brown Sugar - Stones
One more last chance - Vince Gill
Not really pop songs?

Just listened to Numb by Linken Park, which I didn't know.
Interesting lyrics, powerful song.

My first concert was Engelbert Humperdinck at The London Palladium. I was a kid, my elder brother took me, we were up in the gods.
Guest singers on stage were Clodagh Rodgers and a group of fellers singing 'Back Home' the England World Cup song.
I must of been around 11 but I can still see it now. I remember thinking, this is posh.

I liked buying the 6/  45s as you could see who the songwriter was.Always thought the writer more important than the singer.Singer songwriters were special;I used to write songs and sing many I wrote even now.Only for the pleasure to myself.I love singing. Where the emoji is after / it should be the number eight followed by d,but it will not post.3/6d perhaps that does. Strange it will not post 6/eight d. |

I was wondering. We need different, new emojis. Most of them no one ever uses. 6/ d. Well that's weird, is there a glitch in the matrix? 6/8 d 6 / 8 d Take your pick. It's the 'd' being next to the 8 that's causing the problem. A space after the 8 cures it. Strange one that. |

Brown sugar is a great song. We have a very wide spectrum of choices here, if you’ve not yet put down your choices, crack on this is a good thread.

Like I've Never Been Gone..Billy Fury Not surprised by your choices, but nothing newer than that? No Floyd, starting in the 60’s and forwards very experimental with their sound and very clever with it too. Didn’t they invent 8 track sound? As a man who is into music surely that is something that appeals to you? |

redshank. Seeing as you enquired before, I've taken my sling off today although I've just noticed that I'm still holding my arm up as though it's still in it.
It'll be 6 weeks this Sunday. I haven't got full movement in it yet and I still get pain if I stretch it too far out, and I still can't reach the keyboard but I'm getting pretty good doing it left handed.
I'm about 3/4's the way there I'm thinking. Strange thing is that the last time I broke it, when I was at school (this is the 3rd time), ever since then I couldn't rotate my right arm as much as the left arm.
Now I can.

But those are just 5 songs I love hearing. Loved the Glam stuff in the 70s Sweet, Slade etc also love stuff like Timi Yuro, Dean Martin, Stones ,so different stuff. Never been much into Floyd tbh. |

There are a lot of great pop songs. This is more pop trivia I guess, but two of my favorites are Born on the Bayou by CCR and Have a Cigar by Pink Floyd. They both sound great, but they’re unusual too, and that’s part of what makes them cool. It’s extremely rare to have a rock guitar led song with pacing that slow. I don’t know of any others.

I love a bit off CCR and Pink Floyd myself, have to be in the right mood for Floyd though, talking of CCR you must've heard John Foggerty's original version of Rockin all over the world?
Don't get me wrong I'm a massive Quo fan I've seen them live loads, the Foggerty version of Rockin all over the world though is my favourite version, it's more upbeat and raucous.

Massive fan of Pink Floyd. First album 'The Dark Side of the Moon' I bought when I was a kid. Got it from Woolies.
Good posters with it.
Pink Floyd posters on one side of my bedroom, football and motorbike posters on the other, plus the drop in league table from 'SHOOT!'.
The motorbike posters were a Suzuki GT 250, Yamaha RD 250, and a Kwaka KH 250 and some other bigger bikes. After the fizzy I just got a car in the end.

I must be at least a couple of decades older than you but I liked the early Floyd with Syd and then songs like Grantchester Meadows which actuality is just south of Cambridge. I once went there and rolled around the meadows pretending I was Pink Floyd - I had not taken any drugs or drink I also wrote in large yellow paint on my bedroom ceiling in my parents house Kawasaki (motorcycle ) - again no drugs or drink I guess I was just a failed artistic person |

I have been watching videos of The Professor of Pop Music.A very interesting number of videos.He ranked Neil Diamond as the best poet of them all.The video was about Neil Diamonds breakthrough song Crackling Rosie which was a cheap fizzy wine made in Canada called just that Crackling Rosie but with the little slope above the e.It was damned because the local tribe was too fond of it,the drink that is not the song.A great song from the great Neil Diamond who I saw in Concert at Woburn in 1977,it was in July and the hottest day of a wet summer.Still have the programme and a unforgettable memory.
Driving home it was the same as all the Orient fans you saw driving home after an O's away win,tooting and waving a scarf.A great and long day.é

When I first started guitar l tried to play CCR's "Keep on chooglin" cos it only uses one chord. Not the same on an acoustic though. |

Got the paint from Woolies. His mum went bonkers. I'm 65. Feel like 25 and 95. |
