You wouldn't think that if you could see me now @WispaRed7 

Miserable.. due to the never ending rain and the banging and clanging of the bathroom boys upstairs.

Oh Dear @Cleoriff ... Play Some Prodigy or The Who music very very loud 

It's raining heavy here in North Yorkshire ... forecast all day ... so it's tidying up the house for me

T-Rex, Children of the Revolution should be in here...

T.REX should be, not just one record, the whole group deserves a place. (Or just Marc Bolan )

I'd like to induct these two:

METALLICA

They started a whole new genre (thrash metal) back in the early 80s.  Quite simply the biggest metal band ever.  I could put up a vid of some of their real classics, and although not my favourite songs of theirs, everyone knows these:

ALTER BRIDGE

Those who see me around here know my love for this band.  Here's a few great examples of them.  Myles Kennedy is a staggeringly good singer.

This song is one of the greatest songs ever written IMO, especially when you know the subject matter (was written about a friend of Myles' who died young).

Sir Elton John

Which songs to choose ?

Rocket Man ... ... ... probably the 1st song I remember & can sing the words to 

Song For Guy ... ... ... a slow instrumental for a young man who passed away, known to Sir Elton in his music work

Crocodile Rock ... ... ... can sing along to this too & it's up-beat !

Chris Rea

Let's Dance ... one of The Best dance songs

On The Beach ... lyrical & wouldn't we all wish to be there in the warm sunshine

Driving Home For Christmas ... my fave Christmas song

I'd like to add Chris Farlowe to that list. Great in the 60's, now age 79 and despite illnesses, still putting on shows with a great powerful voice.

[Cleoriff Level 94: Supreme]

Also Sisters Of Mercy.

Brilliant group of that genre in the 70's and 80's
