Classic Rock (Phil Collins lives, run for the hills)

Think we need a deadline to stop it taking over too much. Really struggling though I have my theme but limiting to 10 is proving tricky, and keep thinking of other bands I'd like to crowbar in.
Ok. Good idea, how about 5.00pm Wednesday evening For your list of tracks. We should score properly, I will retract my two scores until I have a listen on playlist. If everyone that wants to score would send me a pm. Stating the posters name and score and any comments, by 5pm Thursday I will get a top 10 published (if we get that many) by Friday.
 
I've had a quick go at a compilation.

Kiss: Detroit Rock City
Van Halen: Runnin' With the Devil
Rush: Red Barchetta
Blue Oyster Cult: Don't Fear the Reaper
Angel: The Tower


John Mellencamp: Cherry Bomb
Lynyrd Skynyrd: What's Your Name?
Led Zeppelin: Rock n Roll
Boston: Don't Look Back
Yes: Starship Trooper

And I'm awarding myself 10/10 cos I created the thread.

Two tracks from The Lonesome Jubilee in people top 10s (admittedly, one of them is mine!) - 'tis a red letter day.

And to think, I only joined these forums for banter about transfers and city matches!

Got to say that some of these threads and related music/TV/books/films discussion have kept me sane whilst working from home for the last 16 months.

There is some extremely decent stuff amongst that lot, in fact, taking into account the Yes tracks, which I cant get into and therefore couldn't be bothered listening to, practically perfect. The yoof of today dont know what they're missing.

Yeah, it's good to be able to discuss such subjects on this Forum.

What !!! Bluemoon has kept you sane, now there's a first.

I’ve a ton of stuff I could go with but I’ve gone for putting something together that hopefully nobody else would.

It would be tempting to cram great Zeppelin, Floyd, Genesis etc tracks together.

I’ve gone with a different feel and tried to make it an album.
Consequently, don’t expect many votes.


Oh and if @Saddleworth2 can get away with an intro as an eleventh track so can I.
That accounts for the two of Jon Anderson’s running into each other at the start.

I call this Album;
Irlande Null Point.


Hope you can all access this. I made it public.

Side 1:
Intro & track 1
Ocean Song/Meeting - Jon Anderson (Olias of Sunhillow)

2. Hold your head up - Argent (All together now)
3. Dreamer - Home (Home)
4. All I want to be - Peter Frampton (Wind of change)
5.El Doomo -Ellis (Riding on the crest of a slump)

Side 2.
6. Walk on hot coals - Rory Gallagher (Blueprint)
7. Funk #49 James Gang (James Gang rides again)
8. Horse with no name - America (America)
9. Guitar Man - Bread (Guitar Man)
10. Palm Trees(love guitar) - Steve Hillage (Green)

Are we having some weird collective influence on Spotify here?

I have just listened to @Saddleworth2 's playlist (secret ballot so I'm not telling you the score, although I'll have to tell him!) and although I haven't built any of the others yet, the next song that came on automatically was "(Then Came) The Last Days Of May" by Blue Oyster Cult .... first track on MCFC Trick's list.
