Decades of Music!

[Michele Alexander (Voden)]

Okay well that rules out the last decade because Runrig is all I've been allowed to listen to since marrying Mike!

[Keith Margetts]

Hey Oppie,

Great list my good friend . . . I also seem to remember a stream of Beatles music, and a little Cream, oozing out of Paul and Erwin Lisser's pondok.  Heck, I spent so much time there, I should know the words!!

Give our love to Debbt, Juanita and Erwin . . . also to Diana, if she remembers me!!

Cheers good buddy!!

Keith.

sandy, for all your jabbering - still haven't seen your list :)

Yvette, who can ever forget Crimson & Clover - was the ultimate lovers ballade at the youth club.

[Michael Alexander]

I could'nt remember Crimson and Clover, so on Saturday I went through my mp3 collection and there it was, listened to it, remembered it, and the strange thing being, was during my friday night movie, they played it in the romantic comedy i was watching, whats the chances,,,,,

[Diana Rudd (Boehme)]

Of course I remember you Keith.

All  my  jabbering ... I think I  can  echo   Michele   ..which decade ..  I  beenn  on  this planet  now  half  century .. furthermore  there  seems  to  be  a  mixed  up  mush of music  songs etc  in  my head   and I  get names   and  songs  confused .. must  be brain  damaged in  some way or other ..

Hi Delia,

Used to listen to this over and over at Natasha le Roux's place too. Delia do you remember R Speedwagon??????

Yvette

[Delia]

Hi yvette - yes, i remember reo speedwagon big time - as u said we used to play it (well, music in general) full blast at natasha's - she was mad about anthony martheze at the time reo was big and there was a certain song of theirs she had dedicated to him - can't remember it's name now. amazing how music can transport one over time - like crimson & clover - haven't heard it in a long time but if i just hear the name i can see in my mind's eye all the lovers slow dancing to it at the youth club. another band/song she (both of us actually) dedicated to anthony was Ant Music - Adam & the Ants - remember them?

[Susan Kintscher (Lineker)]

The last dance at session was 90% of the time was crimson & clover.........

[barb (Fry)]

which decade, good question........

earliest memories are of LOUIS Armstrong and alot of brass,
T rex - Marc Bolan, posters of him and his wild hair....and the old record player that you could stack LP's on or replay one record over and over by coiling the strap around the returning arm,   
followed by Pretty Belinda and Cecilia  in a Pondoc with a bath that had been cut to create a two seater.
Beatles (free badges from lucky packets), 
anyway everything seems to be redone every decade or so.....
it's all mishmashed

[Warren Weidemann]

Hmm - so many songs, so much time:

Funnily enough Deep Purple's smoke on the water and Hush will make my list...
As well as Simple Minds - don't you (forget about me)
Talking Heads - road to nowhere
Jimi Hendrix - Hey Joe
Guns and Roses - Paradise city
Van Halen - ice cream man

and a Beastie Boys song, I don't remember the title - but it become a bit of a drunken theme song...
Paul - didn't you once own a Roxette album? I noticed that you never included that in your list... Man, you had issues back in the day ;D

[Delia]

nice choice warren - had mike not restricted us to 5, Jimi's "hey joe" would definitely had been there for me too.  such a cool number! (i should've been at Woodstock)!

jeez, Talking Heads - now that's a blast from the past - haven't heard them for ages - they immediately take me back to my hostel days in the late 70's. i think i had their album "psycho killers"?

[Michele Alexander (Voden)]

Warren - this fascination with Roxette must be a family thing!

[Warren Weidemann]

Delia - Psycho Killer is an awesome song - that's the song that made me a fan in the first place, along with Slippery People and Burning down the house.

Michele - You know what is odd?
Generally, according to Mike, the 31st Dec 1989 - was the day that the music died... But I'm sure that Roxette was a 90's band.
No accounting for taste  ::)

Oh - I remember that beastie boys song - Paul Revere.

[Michele Alexander (Voden)]

What do you mean no accounting for taste - he married me didn't he!

You know what Shannon wanted (and got) for her birthday - an MP3 player so that she could listen to her own choice of music and not the stuff Mike is always listening to!
