I like Thin Lizzy, but the opening line:

"Tonight there's going to be a jailbreak somewhere in this town" always makes me think - er, that would be the jail then.

Of course I know that jailbreak may be a metaphor for breaking conventions etc, but then even that's a bit much. Phil - good guitarist and all that, looks about as Bad as Michael Jackson did.

I never thought about that.

Just sat with a cup of tea playing the links just posted above since yesterday. Good stuff.

I've never heard much of Lynyrd Skynyrd, but this one came up after the Blue Oyster Cult one I posted (great track that). Simple man.

7 million views. It's obviously a popular one though I've never heard of it before.

I've always liked Thin Lizzy. I'd've killed for Scott Gorman's hair. And it's very difficult not to have a soft spot for Lemmy.

Unless you're all extremely nice to me, I shall post links to my occasional band doing live covers of some of these songs.

As to the Lynryd Skynyrd track, it's exactly that kind of downhome, sunset-on-the-stoop, apple-pie and root beer philosophy that causes me to bring up my breakfast - which, as you ask, consisted of lightly-scrambled eggs accompanied by oak-smoked wild Atlantic salmon and chives, with vodka-infused shallot marmalade and an insouciant spoonful of Beluga caviar.

You lanky nitpicking grammartarian!

Oh, come on post away that would be great.

That's either a very fine breakfast or a very imaginative lie and an interesting way of saying you don't like that track.

I can't shake off that Blue Oyster Clut track. I'm going to play that again, and like a wild man of rock and roll that I am,...do the pots...

You lanky nitpicking grammartarian!

Where was the nitpicking? Has it got to the stage now where I do it without even noticing?

..ah, okay. That was you trying your best not to be nice to me. Frankly, Neely, you have no talent for it.

...accompanied by oak-smoked wild Atlantic salmon...

I practically had this guy's hair (blondie vocalist) at abouy age 15 +/- and a fitting song with summer on the horizon:

Mark, I suspect it had less to do with Skynyrd and more to do with the fact that it came out of the Atlantic. Saltwater ipicac.

Come on...go ahead and post.

Some nice hair going on there. I thought the drummer looked like animal from the Muppets, which lead me to finding this.

Yes that was the (lame) idea. Oh OK then, you insulting nitpicking lanky grammatarian!

[Sancho]

GG, play some Skynyrd, man!

HaHa, one of the best lines, ever:

We were doubly blessed
We were barely seventeen and we were barely dressed

Ah yes. The sweet flower of youth. You always remember your first time, don’t you? Mine was in a 1964 Ford Falcon that I bought for 300 dollars from The Kar Korral in San Angelo, Texas. It was a sweet ride. It had a two-tone paint job (primer paint red and primer paint gray), a Mexican-blanket interior, and was so out of true that when I drove it on a wet street and looked at my tracks in the rear-view mirror, I saw 4 instead of 2. Not too sure how I ever got anybody to go out with me in that heap.

Oh, yes, the girl – I forget her name. Joking, joking, it was… hey, hey, hey, I’m a gentleman, I never kiss and tell. This may have been on the radio:

I’ve always thought Billy Gibbons is one of the more underrated blues guitarists in the business.

I like ZZ Top. It is funny that they came out with Sharp Dressed Man though.

Some more Southern rock from the Allman Brothers

And some Lenny Kravitz

[Paulclem]

We've had one Deep Purple, but I often sing this when I'm on my bike:

and I like Lazy:

Hey, Paul, you steered me right with ‘Space Truckin' on another thread around here somewhere. I put it on my i-shuffle for long-run Sundays. Splendiferous. It can be a vicious ear worm, though – it’s stuck in there now and it won’t come out. Here’s another physical-fitness (classic) tune that can pull me through those last few miles:

ELO, Hold on Tight: http://youtu.be/8TLmpL2AzLs

Sancho, I have to admit I was never a huge fan of Skynyrd. I like "Call Me the Breeze" well enough though.

As for ZZ Top (formely the "Moving Sidewalks") I always enjoyed "Waiting for a Bus / Jesus Done Left Chicago", especially the transition.

I'm rediscovering more Blue Cheer and those glorious days of my parents pounding on my older brothers bedroom door screaming to turn that garbage down.

Here's a good loud tune for a saturday night...

Couple more from that era

Canned Heat

and Iron Butterfly:

Try playing all three at the same time. Groovy.

If you're going to do Ace of Spades, do it with puppets:

Here's another personal favorite. Lots of rockers try the nostalgic summer song, but nobody ever put heart and soul into one like Bob Seger, and I don't think his can possibly be improved upon.
