The original has to be one of my favourite ever songs. From the intro all the way through its a pop/rock classic. Used to be on the jukebox and played in clubs all the time in 1970's. But the Medics do it justice I feel. Hear they still tour and Spirit In The Sky is the most asked for live track !Reckon the 'Original' has it BBR.
Undecided which version is best ? Spirit In The Sky by Norman Greenbaum or the one by Dr and the Medics.
Played both recently and liked them both !
Try this one:
The man in the end bed being sick. The one next to me moaning with his wife and refusing treatment. The bloke opposite snoring and the bloke next to him watching Dad's Army at full volume.
I have closed all the curtains around my bed like a miserable bastard. Can't wait to go into my own room. Oh I'll be listening to a bit of Pink Floyd in a bit.
Went in a charity shop and bought a cracking CD titled Driving Rock got some great tracks on it. Canned Heat,Yardbirds, Animals,and many more.And although not everybody's cup of tea bought Sleaford Mods latest album. I find them funny and like their words etc. So this week I've listened to Dylan and now Sleaford Mods,now that's what you call variety !
Love Sleaford Mods. Yes they're Marmite but I like Marmite ! Love the fuck em attitude they've got.English tapas is a great album BBR.
" A trip to Spar is like a trip to Mars." Great line from Drayton Manored.English tapas is a great album BBR.
I used to love 10CC as well. I do have a problem though with single artists representing themselves as the whole band they used to form part of.Wall St Shuffle by 10 CC on Jools Holland, one of my early singles performed timelessly.
Listened to a lot tonight finishing with The Man by Aloe Black, which is basically a huge sample of Billy Pauls version of Elton John's Your Song. B-)
Didn't know that he wrote Bus Stop for the Hollies and For Your Love by the Yardbirds. Watched them last night on Jools Holland they were okay I thought but liked them in the 70's a lot more. It's like watching a footballer that was once a great player but through time he's not as good as he once was ?I used to love 10CC as well. I do have a problem though with single artists representing themselves as the whole band they used to form part of.
10CC was a band of 4 members. 2 left and it was then acceptable for Stewart and Goldman to continue as the band and carry it forwards.
Stewart then left though. I just can't see how one single member of a band can still be the band. He wasn't even the main member. It was a team effort, all of equal stature.
More acceptable if the main man or woman goes on to carry the band on and continue, but Gouldman was just a single quarter of 10CC.
I find it a bit of a shame.

just catching up with Public Service Broadcastings new album. Not got the album yet but tracking down what I can on Spotify and Youtube.
The lead single Progress with the singer from Camera Obscura is brilliant. Great live as well. will be seeing them in September.
This week I've listened to Sleaford Mods,Wishbone Ash,and Coldplay. Now that's what you call a mixture of different music !
I enjoy listening to rock especially 70's bands like Jethro Tull, Yes, Nazareth, and Free. But really into Dylan at the moment !Not listened to Wishbone Ash for a while, but Argus was a very good album I should probably listen to more often.
