How about a bit of class: Morning from the Peer Gynt suite and Canon in D by Pachelbel.

When racing enduros I used to hum Beethovens 9th to myself.

As a closet culture vulture?  ::)

When I was a kid we lived on a largish plot and my dad (mx and trials rider) used to play Beethoven and the Beatles VERY LOUD on a sunday morning if he wasn't riding. The love for classical has never left me.

I'm as happy listening to red hot chilli peppers as I am Brahms but, please, please, please, no opera.

p.s. I recently discovered a guy called David Axelrod (Firko probably knows of him). Give him a listen:

Ian Drury and the Blockheads, brilliant.  Saw them live they carried him on stage was amazing.  At the end of the show they jammed , Hit me with your rythm stick with Hunters and Collectors

I could fill a whole thread with music that 'touched ' me but while doing some yard work this morning the memory of us travelling to some dirt track (probably Woodstock) back in the early seventies with 'Ted Nugent and the Amboy Dukes' Gonzo Double Live album pumping at full crank in the Transit all the way to Cowra. 'Great White Buffalo' and their definitive version of 'Baby Please Don't Go' (later ripped off lick for lick by AC/DC) brought back a great, forgotten memory ;D.

My first " Baby please don't go " was by Big Billy Broonzy [1950's] and a fine job of it he did too. :)

Are you sure you're not thinking of Big Joe Williams who wrote it Mike? Baby Please Don't Go is one of my favourite blues/ rock songs of all time. No matter who did it or how it was treated, the song nearly always is the star instead of the artist. I particularly like Bob Dylan's version but it was Them's (Van Morrison) 1964 hit version that I blame for introducing me to the blues. Another favourite version is 'Willy and the Poor Boys' 1984 minor hit. The band was a sort of supergroup put together by Bill Wyman starring his mates Charlie Watts, Ronnie Wood (Stones) Jeff Beck, Jimmy Page (Yardbirds/Led Zep), Paul Rogers (Free/Bad Company)and Andy Fairweather-Lowe (Amen Corner) to play the pubs for tips. A blues "Travelling Wilburys" of sorts.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X3qvyENHsn8

Mongoloid by DEVO

Mongoloid, he was a mongoloid.
One chromosome too many.
Mongoloid, he was a mongoloid.
And it determined what he could see.

And he wore a hat
And he had a job
And he brought home the bacon
So that no one knew

Reminds me of some forum members.  ;D ;D ;D

Love and Kisses Hugo

Searching around youtube and found this version.

Wondering just how far back this song goes.

Good thread boy's

Baker street (Gerry Rafferty)and any track off Meatloaf's Bat out of hell album.

Late 70's (1977) just started racing as a junior in ACU in Queensland, great times!!
