The thread has gone from best ever to favourite and I'm now changing it to memories.I heard Procul Harems :Whiter Shade Of Pale the other day on the radio and it transported me back to the Locarno,and when I hear Hey Jude I'm back in the West End with the City fans singing to that song tune.

Whenever I hear hey Jude I'm back in the Walsgrave pub on the Wednesday before the cup final, the dj put it on and that was it people were up on the tables belting it out for what seemed an age, and all the while a solitary spurs supporter sitting in the corner staring into his pint.

What a coincidence as I was in that pub the night before the Cup Final.I was only going to have a couple as I was going to the final the next day but ended up having a skinful,and was hungover going down on the train.But by the time I got in my hangover had gone as the excitement of the day was the perfect cure !Whenever I hear hey Jude I'm back in the Walsgrave pub on the Wednesday before the cup final, the dj put it on and that was it people were up on the tables belting it out for what seemed an age, and all the while a solitary spurs supporter sitting in the corner staring into his pint.

I probably saw you in there, used to live in the Wally.What a coincidence as I was in that pub the night before the Cup Final.I was only going to have a couple as I was going to the final the next day but ended up having a skinful,and was hungover going down on the train.But by the time I got in my hangover had gone as the excitement of the day was the perfect cure !
Haven't been in there for years. Just like the Red Lion down the road when they turned into eating places put me off as I like pubs to be pubs. Still had some great nights in both pubs.I probably saw you in there, used to live in the Wally.
I know they get knocked for some reason but Genesis were good I thought.
On now is Mama which is brilliant.
On planet Rock this week they've played Seven Seas of Rye,No One Knows,and Comfortably Numb.All three still sound awesome and Seven Seas in my opinion is one of the best tracks Queen ever did and it was one of their first.She's leaving home - The Beatles
When Doves Cry - Prince
Comfortably numb - Floyd
Chime - Orbital
Your Love - Frankie Knuckles
Legs - ZZ Top
No one Knows - Queens of the stone age
Take me I'm yours - Squeeze
Seven seas of ryhe - Queen

You need a Digital radio to get planet Rock but I guarantee you'll find a show on there that you'll like. Alice Cooper has his own show and Danny Bowes of Thunder too,but if you love rock music there's something for everyone at all hours.Enjoy !I have never listened to Planet Rock, but I will now! Most people I have met that like Queen have never even heard it, amazing track.....Hammer To Fall is another personal favourite.

Let me know on this thread how you rate Planet Rock ? I'm firstly a rock fan but like you enjoy other genres. Sometimes it's down to the mood you're in I reckon.I have a digital radio in my workshop but I tend to listen to 6 music or just whack spotify on. I am a lover of all genres of music from Classical to Motown to Rock to Prog Rock to Techno and everything in between, as long as it is done well and makes you feel something, I will give it a whirl.
Will deffo start listening to it though.

They've just played Headlong by Queen. Another track I haven't heard for years and it sounds great !I have never listened to Planet Rock, but I will now! Most people I have met that like Queen have never even heard it, amazing track.....Hammer To Fall is another personal favourite.
As I've mentioned my first love is rock and metal but keep it to yourself I like listening to stuff from the 60's and not just the Beatles.I find myself enjoying tracks by : Amen Corner,Love Affair,Hermans Hermits and Dave Clark Five. And when I hear Spirit In The Sky by Norman Greenbaum I go : " they don't make records like that anymore !"I'd go with that. My roots are in Metal (all types), Punk and Indie but i can happily listen to most things. Even finding love for some of the newer stuff as my kids are getting to that age where they're starting to enjoy music, I struggle a bit with 1D, quite like Olly Murs and Katie Perry (the latter might not me totally music related though), also enjoying Take That Mk2 although i still struggle with most of Take That Mk1. Really liking some of the folk based stuff that's popular at the moment aside from the obvious Mumfords and Sons also First Aid Kit, Amy McDonald etc.

Whatever it was played on it is a cracking record. I remember it in the 70's being played in pubs and clubs and everyone loved it !Hands up everyone who thought Spirit In The Sky was played on a synthesiser? I certainly did and I can remember a BBC radio show at the time (Scene & Heard) also claiming it was.

The instrumental piece at the end is greatI am the resurrection-The stone Roses

John Lennons birthday today he would have been 75. Wonder how his music career would have gone ? What a tragic waste of life though ended by a lunatic who still doesn't know why he did it. Still his music lives on.
