Second post Monday

Pleased to hear that Gary's going to change his blog site to the same as ours - hopefully this will make things easier all round for everyone.

Sorry to go on about the Useless Facts, Gary - but Old Testament an autobiography? By whom? The big G? The earlier one about the 50 greatest grossing movies of all time doesn't need much thinking about either - this is when us auld fogies bore you lot with our tales of inflation. Eeh lad, I remember when a tanner used to get you to the movies on the bus, entrance with your "bird" (sorry - Glaswegian expression from the '60's!) and treat you both to a poke of chips on the way home - weren't life grand then? (Answer - no!).

OK - today's list - this was made up a couple of years ago for one of our headbangs - we all had to list our all-time favourite individual tracks (not albums) and this is what I came up with at the time:

1 Werewolves of London - Warren Zevon
2 Badge - Cream
3 Need Your Love So Bad - Fleetwood Mac
4 In a Broken Dream - Python Lee Jackson
5 Maybe I'm Amazed - Faces
6 Alison - Elvis Costello
7 Like a Rollin' Stone - Bob Dylan
8 Please Please Me - Beatles
9 Dazed And Confused - Led Zeppelin
10 Teenage Kicks - Undertones
11 Route 66 - Rolling Stones
12 Psycho Killer - Talking Heads
13 Up the Junction - Squeeze
14 Tin Soldier - Small Faces
15 Try a Little Tenderness -Otis Redding
16 Keith Don’t Go - Nils Lofgren
17 Hey Joe - Jimi Hendrix Experience
18 House of the Rising Sun - Animals
19 London Calling - Clash
20 Anarchy in the UK - Sex Pistols

Funny looking back - I always used to say Otis was my favourite - but this was done at the time from a list of almost 100 I put together, with the intention of having no "repeaters" (although 4 & 5 have the same lead vocalist). They also had to be from tracks I currently possessed that were in a format acceptable to the headbang at the time - i.e. CD or .mpg.

Tomorrow it might be favourite artistes - or maybe albums?
