Songs from your youth.

nmcg dan · 20-02-10, 10:41 AM

If you could pick 5 songs from your childhood (anything you listened to back in the day!), what would they be?

I think mine would have to be;

Blamanche - Living on the Ceiling.
Youtube

Visgae - Fade to grey.
Youtube

Queen - Under Pressure.
Youtube

David Bowie - Star man.
Youtube

The Jam - Town Called Malice.
Youtube

Seal and Adamski - Killer
YouTube - Adamski & Seal - Killer

Pavarotti- Nessum Dorma
YouTube - Pavarotti "nessun dorma"

I can't think of any more at the moment but these are the two I would say stand out most.

When I was about 4 or 5 I wouldn't go to sleep without Nessum Dorma being played so I could hear it in bed.

RATM - Guerilla Radio (it was on Tony Hawks Pro Skater 2, that game was awesome)

Muse - Hate this and I'll love you

Blur - End of a Century

Crowded House - Don't dream it's all over

RHCP - Around the World

all of these minus RATM from CDs my parents either bought me or had themselves

Cruelworld · 20-02-10, 12:30 PM

Sex Pistols - Bodies
Angelic Upstarts - England
Anti Nowhere League - Woman
Charged GBH - Faster Faster
The 4-Skins - One Law For Them

Was never keen on Solidarity. I found the whole sound of the band changed for a period around the time of this and it seemed too tame, too manufactured and too polished.
Give me the '2 Million Voices' era any day.

And if I can have a bonus track i'd also go with a Stiff Little Fingers track in the flavour of At The Edge

**the_icks** · 21-02-10, 07:56 AM

lol, "at the edge" to me gives me a similar opinion to the one you have about "solidarity"

it sounded a bit commercial. I prefer the Inflammable Material sound.

Its funny how diverse bands can actually sound...

My mum used to be friends with Arturo Bassick from 999!!

Gregm · 21-02-10, 09:14 AM

here a few that bring back memories from my youth

1)YouTube - Stevie Wonder - Master Blaster (Jammin')

2)YouTube - AC/DC - Whole Lotta Rosie

3)YouTube - Carpenters - Yesterday Once More

4)YouTube - Paul McCartney- Band on the Run

5)YouTube - Dead kennedys - Stealing peoples mail

some of these my parents and my uncle who lived near us listened to, others I bought myself, I'm sure you can work out which is which

edit, we've discussed stiff little fingers before, and I pretty much love most of their stuff tbh, seen them at the barrowlands they were excellent live

Cruelworld · 22-02-10, 07:45 PM

Stiff Little Fingers

Strongly considering it...
Won't be as explosive as yesteryear mainly because of the average age of the crowd (matured a bit...) but a trip down memory lane none the less

no I think that album was recorded in '95, I'm sure the gigs I saw were in late 80's early 90's, and I'm sure Bruce Foxton was on bass in at least 1 of the gigs
@cruelworld, the age of the crowd won't take anything away from the atmosphere and the performance, believe me, still a quality gig

gez18 · 23-02-10, 10:48 AM

1. the who. babba o'riley YouTube - The Who- Teenage Waste Land/Baba O'Riley
