songs that need to be heard.

[electric funeral]

Aero, their stuff from 1972 till 1976 is completely different from their later romantic stuff from 1979 till 1982. There is a fantastic thread about them I might say .

Asia kept releasing great albums after John Wetton left the band and not very many people noticed. Here are two tracks from the Aqua album.

Asia - Lay Down Your Arms


Asia - Someday

 

[Fever]

An old .38 Special instrumental-Robin Hood





Born To Run-Lynyrd Skynyrd

 

[Sunny]

My favourite Nick Drake song deserves a listen

 

[Death on Credit]

 

[Gabble Ratchet]

Only 2? I know of hundreds...Well, here goes:

Cotton Sidewalk are a band from Melbourne who's powerhouse anthemic alternative rock belies their relatively small audience. Crank this one up loud and go on an emotion-fuelled journey!



And this I'm posting simply because it's unlike anything else I've heard. The mixture of chaotic experimentation and sincere orchestral instrumentation is erringly beautiful. This is an intense, epic, rollercoaster of a song:

 

[The Great Duck]

 

[Travelin' Man]

What a heavy beast and the solo near the end.

This one should be called "Hair of the (Black) Dog."

Paul Rodgers' Now & Live album.

Paul Rodgers - Nights Like This


Paul Rodgers - Chasing Shadows

 

[Aero]

The Chameleons...maybe the most underrated band of the 80s.
