I first made up a list of long somewhat esoteric songs I like but changed to shorter rocking songs most people know. I really tried to put "Friends in Low Places" on the list as people like to sing along. But maybe a bit too American. At least the list is short so maybe the girls won't totally hate it. :biggrin:  

 

It's only Rock'n'Roll (but I like it)                   - Rolling Stones
Sympathy for the Devil                                 - Rolling Stones
Rock and Roll                                               - Led Zepplin
La Grange                                                    - ZZ Top
I Just Want to Make Love to You                   - Foghat
Rocky Mountain Way                                    - Joe Walsh
Running Down a Dream                                - Tom Petty
Sweet Child of Mine                                      - Guns N' Roses
Man in the Box                                              - Alice in Chains
(You Gotta) Fight For Your Right (To Party)  - Beastie Boys

Just for you, sir, we'll make it a Top 10 (+1) and add Friends in Low Places to the list.  If you can tell me who the artist is, of course...

  Oh my, you sure you want to add a country song? :biggrin:  Garth Brooks  

Perhaps the only country song I've ever liked as folks like to get drunk and sing along with parts of the song.

I, for one, am looking forward to hearing THIS top 10!

Might take a while for the La Bamba laptop to rise, phoenix-like, from its sickbed, though.

Had this horrid realisation this morning that apart from Mama Cass leading on #8 it was a totally male list (please, I am NOT a misogynist re music).

 

So, a second, alternative & backup bench/substitute list:

 

11. Brass in Pocket - Pretenders (Chrissie Hynde)

12. Tide is High - Blondie (Debbie Harry)

13. (I got) A Bird that Whistles - Joni Mitchell

14. What Have They Done to My Song, Ma? - Melanie

Well, since KenW has amended his already excellent albeit sexist list of tunes, I would like to add a few more, if you don't mind. I feel they are appropriate for Pattaya.

 

17.  Satan is Real, The Louvin Brothers

18.  Kneeling Drunkard's Plea, The Louvin Brothers

 

Sylvester has good taste in music.

 

I respectfully request membership to CLB.  I also request that this song be added to the CLB playlist.

Wow, KenW's playlist really got to me!

 

A list of 10 songs that absolutely nobody but me wants to hear & is guaranteed to drive the girls, & most customers, en masse into the soi to smoke cigarettes for a half hour? Or beat me senseless? You're on....

 

10  My Wild Love - The Doors

 9   The Dolphins - Fred Neil

 8   Afrikaan Beat - Bert Kampfert

 7  Be My Baby - The Ronettes

 6  The Glory of Love - Big Bill Broonzy

 5  Bumble Bee - The Searchers

 4  Glow Worm - The Mills Bros

 3  Holy Ground - The Clancy Bros

 2  In My Hour of Darkness - Gram Parsons

 1  I Scare Myself - Dan Hicks & his Hot Licks

 

May be a while till I get back to "CLB" tho, so no worries...

 7  Be My Baby - The Ronettes

 

 

That's one of my favorites too Hefe!

 

Was a big hit right when I first got my first transistor radio!

 

It was the Golden Age of the New York City DJ with the Good Guys on WMCA, Cousin Brucie on WABC, and Murray the K on WINS.

 

 

Wouldn't it be nice if they had cocks?    :biggrin:
