The Police - Roxanne

[Terpe]

One of my childhood friends, true, lifelong and an all round great guy also married to a Filipina, recently passed away.
At his funeral he had this music played at maximum volume. Everybody was crying and laughing at the same time.
We were both always big fans and it really was his all time number one song

I share today:-

Led Zeppelin-Stairway to Heaven

[grahamw48]

Thanks for the Police Peter, and as for 'Stairway to Heaven'...well, what can I say ? The music says it all.

[stevie c]

Simply a great song & a great band

Dexys midnight runners ......Come on Eileen holds many happy memories for me......Anybody remember it?

[grahamw48]

Yes ! 1982.

Reminds me of hours in the garage messing with my cars...then out to the night club.

[stevie c]

You of to a nightclub graham

Who paid for the drinks

[grahamw48]

Funny you should say that.

I actually was a VIP member at most of them in York, as I knew either the owners, DJ or at the very least the doorman. Big village this place.

Also, I was earning very good money in those days, and was even known to throw it about.

Yes, used to earn a fortune but always spent more.

At that time I was listening to a lot of Bob Marley, Steel Pulse, (my fiancee was half-Jamaican), but also from Phil Collins ('Face Value' album) to Ultravox, Grace Jones ('Nightclubbing' Album of course ), to Punk stuff and early Rap, plus whatever Rock was around then. Always had very broad taste in music.

Bob marley is my all time favourite

But same as you my taste in music varies quite a bit from Elvis to the Clash if it is catchy i will like it

[grahamw48]

Taken around that time...me in typical flashy Mohair suit and pulling daft face , with my fiancee (sadly died in a road accident a year or two later).

[andy222]

My favourite of Marleys was Redemption song. Sorry to hear about the ex Graham tragic mate,

[grahamw48]

Thanks. Yes she was a wonderful and popular lady (a nurse) and it was tragic. Nearly destroyed me at the time.

Here's another of my favourite tracks. I have Exodus and most other Marley albums.

Oh, and cross between him and Jim Carey I'd say.....personalitywise too.

That's their best album, Handsworth Revolution. Just like a lot of other reggae bands such as Third World, their best work came out in the late 70's and early 80's. By the time the 90's came, they had resorted to the cheesy stuff and just the odd decent track, which was disappointing.

[Ako Si Jamie]

My favourite Steel Pulse track from the 'Tribute to the Martyrs' album. I have the 12" version but it's not available on YT.

[stevie c]

One of my all time favourite tracks is money in my pocket.......Dennis Brown esp the 12" version

Dennis Brown had the best voice of all the reggae singers.

My favourite Dennis track "Have No Fear", and his version of Bob Marley's "Concrete Jungle" which I prefer to the original.

[Ako Si Jamie]

A few tracks from the very underrated Nasio Fontaine.

[grahamw48]

I'm up and dancing....love it !

I have what I call REGGAE speakers. BIG bass.

ps: Nice bass on that Viceroys track !
