h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Janis Joplin - Me and Bobby McGee. Roaring voice; a belter!

Hi Laylie!

HOw about Joni Mitchell - Big Yellow Taxi

another powerful woman singer!

OK but never been a massive fan myself. She's a bit too miserable for my liking!

Lynyrd Skynyrd is miserable - Joni's old stuff reminds me of the 1960's and place my first girlfriend introduced me to her music and the two go together ... nice memories!

not place but plus

Private Dancer - Tina Turner

Abba, Dancing Queen
Abba, Take a Chance on Me
Beach Boys, Don't Worry Baby
Honeycombs, Have I The Right

Ugh, Joni's awful laugh at the end of Big Yellow Taxi.

And the appalling tambourine playing on Have I the Right

This week I'm mostly loving Take That's new one (Rule the World).


Other fab songs: DOA - Foo Fighters, Chemistry - Semisonic, Chasing Cars - Snow Patrol

OhHHH! Beatrice,

did she pinch your boyfriend?

Didn't like her new such, though!!

Nothing from TBSGTNIT yet, so I'll gloss over the awfulness that is Rio, and opt for Notorious. Maybe not their biggest seller, but a perfect pop song.

(Z)einmoto, excellent choices (are you me in another guise? )

Some others for consideration... (they get quite mellow towards the end - who am I kidding - for the most part)

Some day there won't be any more jokes to tell. Each joke will have a number and then you can sit around in the pub and say: 654! There will be a light chuckle, but not really a laugh, because there will be no - it's the way you tell it!!

I thought that if I give the link, then it would save the reader time ... first typing in www.youtube.com and then copying and pasting the artist ... then choosing from the many variations!

Thanks for enlightening my music choices, Mag Witch ... you really like Women with guitars, don't you?

Led Zeppelin - Stairway to Heaven

Iggy Pop, The Passenger

Locomotive Breath - Jethro Tull

Peter Frampton 1980 Live "Do You Feel Like We Do"

just for you RF

I say a little prayer for you - Dionne Warwick
So far away from me - Dire Straits

Pingu http://www.pingu.net/uk/eskimo-disco.htm seriously its great

My choice goes back a long way.

Bad Bad boy by Nazareth
and
Blue moon by the Platters

Blue moon
You saw me standing alone
without a dream in my heart
without a love of my own

This one you mean? I don't think it's the Platters.
