Simply beautiful, one of my favourites on our long journeys in the car

[The Subhuman]

Another bunch of no hopers, got a guitar vibe going tonight, so these are my choices.

60's
Taj mahal "Leaving Trunk"

70's
Rory Gallagher "In Your Town "

80's
Midnight Oil "Beds Are Burning

90's
The Blue Aeroplanes "Anti-Pretty

00's
King Gizzard And The Lizard Wizard - Robot Stop ( on my own I think but this is a great album, not good for driving to, for safety reasons)

Ooh Midnight Oil Bullroarer would have been so good there

[gessa]

Another great Taj mahal song Cat

[Azkal]

Hey Cat, been on my list of potential 70's tracks to put forward for a while, made the cut this time. I really struggle with songs from the 80's, not many tracks from that era that really float my boat.

[gessa]

Ooh Midnight Oil Bullroarer would have been so good there

Considered it, also Truganini and Dreamworld but thought I'd go with something some might know, see if I can get at least 1 into the last 8.

There was also 4 Blue Aeroplanes considered and that was just off one album.

Azkal - my problem with the 70's (and to a lesser extent the 60's) is just choosing one - when there are just loads and loads of great songs.

I agree the 80's is more difficult, things picked up in the 90's, but it's the 00's I struggle most with - which is why the 'new' suggestions on the music threads are really good.

[The Subhuman]

as the Hold Steady (The greatest rock band on the planet) say "I survived the 80's one time already, and I don't recall them all too fondly"

[Azkal]

Totally with you there for sure, I have a stack full of songs for the 70's Just listening to a couple of tracks now from the thread which I am not acquainted with. Usually one or two gems, particularly with Faaip and Gessa's submissions, although Hector's songs are very popular........with my Grandma

[hector]

Oy........


As I am a grandad, I will take that as a complement... cheers Azkal
