Van Halen - Diver Down (Full Album) 1982

Chilly - For Your Love

Film Music - 790

This is going to intertwine with previous posts and can be very interesting. At the moment I am listening to the soundtrack to the movie The Lost Boys with Kiefer Sutherland...I have the soundtrack of Carrie on vinyl with John Travolta and Sissy Spacek. A very good movie but the latest remake is nothing like the original. It does not convey the same impact and emotion of the first.

YouTube Albums

I love the Sweet. All their albums are good. From Desolation Boulevard to A Nod Is As Good As A Wink. Alexander Graham Bell is playing at the moment....Cut Above The Rest album by them is excellent. I always come back to YouTube because the albums here are so good and I find what I am looking for.

How about Vensun The Dragon Flies ? Doesn't that beat just get your foot tapping and your body moving..?? Iron Maiden are good. Michael Schenker Assault Attack done in 1982 is good. Try the Heavy Metal playlists. This one I am listening to at the moment is good viz. Rock Mix 2 - Dj. @nth0n 1. with Dio, Toto etc. How about Pantera.com with A Vulgar Display of Power ??? Some Van Halen.com with their first album. Then throw in some Avicii.com.

Fat Freddy's Drop - Based on a True Story from New Zealand in 2005 is particularly enjoyable.
1978 Foghat - Stone Blue. I love this album viz. Bee Gees Cucumber Castle from which Don't forget to Remember came from.

1983 Ellen Foley - Another Breath. 2005 The Killers - Hot Fuss

This is a great day outside...rainy weather but a great day for blogging. In two months I turn 52 and my music taste encompasses everything from Vera Lynn, Nelson Eddy, Jeanette MacDonald to opera, country, rock, heavy metal, pop viz. Pussycat, Abba, Brotherhood of Man etc. My favourite internet radio stations are Atlantic Oldies 2NG, iRock 109, but primarily I love Youtube. I find all my music in all its forms on there, highly enjoyable and I enjoy sharing it with others.

Now this is a WOW experience. Full Album: Flash & The Pan (Flash & the Pan) from Australia. This is excellent and Tarney-Spencer Band - Three's A Crowd 1978 also from Australia. I bet there are a lot around who still remember these albums and maybe more.... Are there any Australians around who remember these singers....?? And especially South Africans. This is the same Alan Tarney who wrote for Cliff Richard. And don't forget Air Supply, AC/DC.

I had two versions of Shabby Tiger Lovely Lady - one on 7-single and one taped from the radio. There is only one version on YouTube. Does any one have the other version which had slightly different lyrics..?

I am particularly fond of Bad Company...one of my favourite groups. They were named after the movie of the same name with Jeff Bridges made in 1973.

Atlantic Oldies 2NG

I have always enjoyed David Bowie Am listening to his 'Fame' on Atlantic Oldies 2NG.com. This is a very good station ranging from 50's, 60's, 70's and 80's. I love this song by Cozy Powell - The Man In Black an all time favourite..Eddie Cochran Three Steps to Heaven is a classic, later done by Showaddywaddy.
Nazareth My White Bicycle is excellent.

The Seventies - Year by Year

1970 was as clear a year of transition in pop music as there has ever been, but rather than being one in which a new style of rock swept globally, as in 1956 or 1963, 1970 was a year of disintegration. The Beatles broke up, Diana Ross and the Supremes split, and Simon and Garfunkel went their separate ways. Peter Green left Fleetwood Mac and Brian Wilson withdrew from active direction of the Beach Boys, Jimi Hendrix and Janis Joplin (the latter never had a British hit single) died.

5 Jun 1971 Middle of the Road had Chirpy Chirpy Cheep Cheep at position No. 1 on the British charts for 34 weeks.

1977  Commentary - Patsy Gallant had 'From New York to LA at position No. 6 on the British charts for 9 weeks 10 Sept.

1978 Commentary
1978 Pussyfoot lay your love on the line - I had this on 7-single and loved it with each play. Excellent song
1979 Chic - Risque album is excellent. It was still being played in 1980, 1981
1979  The Belgian Benelux and Nancy Dee had 'Switch' at position No.52 for 4 weeks on the British chart

Disco

Last night the music on You Tube was sheer magic. In 1975 Fox had Only You Can - Imagine Me Imagine You - S s single bed and in 1978 Pussyfoot had Lay your Love On The Line. Chilly had their well known remake of the Yardbird's classic For Your Love - Hot Shot in 1981 had Don't You Believe That I'm on Fire. A very good song with plenty of oomph!!!
