    And the unusual version of an old Jimi Hendrix song ‘Little Wing’ live by Hungarian guitar legend Tibor Tátrai. The solo in the middle is just amazing.

      Gotta love Queen – but they were Rock music’s version of music hall 🙂

      And here’s my take on matters – rock music, and rock ‘n roll, are very different beasts in that you can’t dance to rock music – but have to to rock ‘n roll.

      Bohemian Rhapsody is magnificent – no two ways about it – but you can’t dance to it like youi can, say, to Brown Sugar, can you?!

      Discuss amongst yourselves.

    I’m a very old ex-guitarist of a small town band. I like pretty well most of these wonderful posts particularly the Eagles.

    Sometimes, I choose one to be a particular theme-music for all programming sessions of a project, so there are a few titles that I used to have played continuously for up to a couple of weeks while I’m developing a module… Provides some background music and avoid being distracted by the music changing every few minutes.

    That’s a hard one Steve but here in the UK we have a radio program called ‘Desert Island Discs’ where you choose ten pieces of music. So my choices here are ones that I never grow tired off.

    In no particular order

    Well now I don’t know if I can top those before mine, but I give it a try.
    First off this isn’t music video, but with all of the grief in the world, I’d thought a little pledge would go nicely.

    Now a song for the despot of America, and his band of scum.

    [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YsjmuvCN3q4&w=420&h=315]

    That’s enough for now, but there are many more. I knew I forgot the most important one of all. This song should be the Tea Party’s anthem
