Hope so.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.

I had put a playlist of early 70’s stuff together previously if anyone is interested. All stuff is no later than 1975. Not for Saddleworth’s competition obviously.

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)
olias of sunhillow, now you are talking. John Anderson should have been born in middle earth.
I like the variety of your choices. Nice to see Rod Argent featuring.

I played it as an album while pottering about the garden this afternoon and quite liked the flow.olias of sunhillow, now you are talking. John Anderson should have been born in middle earth.

You’ve given me ideas for a few spin off threads. I’ll wait until this one is done on Wednesday.

I did own Olias on vinyl as a lad but sold it as it didn't grab me at the time but maybe it's one to revisit given that I'm not such a heavy metal kid 40 odd years on.

Okay, I need to stop second guessing myself, I made my theme bed time to lie in it so here goes.
Not my favourite bands, or tracks necessarily. Just some songs through my life that pointed me in different directions to discover music. Could have done lots more.
Album name Signposts
1 Sweet Blockbuster.
Remember seeing this on TOTP as a 10 year old set me on my way
2 Thin Lizzy Boys are back in town 1976
Probably my first introduction to twin guitars
3 AC/DC RIff Raff, 1978
Remember sat revising tuning the radio and found a radio show presented from liverpool by Phil Easton and heard this and just had to find more, as well as other bands of the time Priest, Scorpions, UFO, Motorhead. Was this time I started going to gigs.
4 Deep Purple, Speed King 1978
Would have been about the same time, maybe Tommy Vance, or the same Phil Easton show, helped look back to Zeppelin, Sabbath Uriah Heep.
5 Def Leppard Getcha Rocks off 1979
Was reading Sounds at the time and the NWBHM was breaking this was one of if not the first thing I heard from it.
Side 2
1 Rush Circumstances. 1979
Think it was the first rush song I heard and bough Hemispheres.
Wasn’t like anything else I’d heard. Friends said if you like Rush try Yes, Genesis, Pink Floyd, ELP and other prog stuff, I did and didn’t like it, have gone back since though and like a fair bit of Yes and Genesis, Pink Floyd not so much.
2 Nightranger Nightranger 1982
Heard this on import , and suddenly went looking for lots of American rock, Boston, Sammy Hagar,
3 Metallica Master of puppets 1986
Wasn’t a fan of early thrash, until I heard Master of Puppets, then started listening to Anthrax , Megadeth, Armoured Saint.
4 Black Stone Cherry Rain Wizard 2008
I guess from the mid 90s I listened to a lot of what I had, went back listening to older stuff, got married, Children. Then in the 2000s started listening to a fair bit of Southern rock, Skynyrd, Allmans etc,
Then discovered some new southern music, Drive by Truckers, Blackberry Smoke Cadillac three etc,
5 Threshold The man who saw through time 2020
Okay this is where it gets tricky. My pandemic listening, I’ve listened to loads of new stuff Dream Theater, Transatlantic, Spocks Beard, and don’t yet have enough listens under my built to pick one track. So went for the underrated British band Threshold and their latest album.
So thats it, few bands I wanted to squeeze in so a bonus ep would include Van Halen and Magnum, Y&T, Fleetwood Mac, Billy Joel amongst other sign post bands for me

Good stuff, and a big shout out for including the one and only Rory Gallagher.I played it as an album while pottering about the garden this afternoon and quite liked the flow.
