Not everyones cup of tea, but for some of us who remember, its a bit of a guilty pleasure :lol:

 

1.America - A horse with no name............Just loved this record when I first heard it, a great song by a band that deserved more success in the UK.

 

 

2.Bachman Turner Overdrive - You ain't seen nothin yet...............a great anthem song from the mid 70's

 

3.Chicago - 25 or 6 to 4..........Classic song from 1970, jazz meets rock

 

4.Cheap Trick - I want you want me........They had a hard edged melodic pop sound

 

5.Dr Hook - Sylvia's Mother......Good song from the balladeers of awful late 70's

 

6.Doobie Brothers - Listen to the music.....Catchy song from them, sort of R&B,Country,and rock & roll

 

7.Allman Brothers - Jessica.....An instrumental song better known as the Top Gear theme song

 

8.Eagles - Hotel California.....Great song by this huge US band

 

9.Steve Miller Band - Rock n me.....A blues- rock sound

 

10.Steely Dan - Ricky don't lose that number.....A mix of jazz,rock,funk,r&b and pop, could have picked loads

 

11.Joe Walsh - Life's been good for me.....great guitar intro to this song about the life of a rock star ( love the lyric....my masserati does 185,I lost my license now I don't drive)

 

12.Boston - More than a feeling.....ignore the perms, :lol: , great song

 

1.America - A horse with no name - this is the first record I ever bought (with my own money) Love it.

 

2.Bachman Turner Overdrive - You ain't seen nothin yet - happy memories of 70's secondary school I went to - all the blokes loved this song.

 

5.Dr Hook - Sylvia's Mother - this was so good! What happened with their later stuff?????

 

7.Allman Brothers - Jessica - just love it.

 

8.Eagles - Hotel California - love it

 

10.Steely Dan - Ricky don't lose that number - brilliant song - I love that deep recurring piano segment. I like quite a bit of their stuff though, Haitian Divorce is a particular favourite.

 

11.Joe Walsh - Life's been good for me - the only song I really remember of his (I had this album but god knows what happened to it)

 

Norma

 

 

 

lol.. a good idea bri.... but i think youve probably unwittingly produced the definitive album there :lol: im not sure theres much in the way of alternatives.

 

love 25 or 6 to 4, :)

A Great compilation, although I can't stand any of Dr Hook's records.

 

Well perhaps save "The Cover of the Rolling Stone" which was re-recorded for the UK market as "The Cover Of the Radio Times".

Some great songs Brian. I love "America", i have quite a few of their songs in my music files.

 

I also love Boston, Eagles andr Hook and Cheap Trick :wub: :yahoo:

Great choices, Brian! There's not one I don't like. I particularly like Horse With No Name, More Than A Feeling and Hotel California. And I like Dr Hook too

Great songs there. Know and love all of them.

Great selection there Brian, I have all of those in my collection apart from Dr Hook and have albums from 9 of those artists

 

Best BTO song though for me was Taking Care Of Business, way better song than You Ain't Seen Nothing Yet, Roll On Down The Highway was better too

 

Shame on you not including Creedence Clearwater Revival though :o I like CCR/John Fogerty more than any of that list bar the Eagles

tbh i prefer creedence to the eagles anyday.
