I seem to remember hoochy saying that during a minutes silence before a game his phone went off with that tune playing... awful but funny

 

A few more:

Billy Bragg Waiting for the Great Leap Forward
Davis Bowie It Ain’t Easy
Leonard Cohen Bunch of Lonesome Heroes
Lou Reed Perfect Day
Pearl Jam Arms Aloft

ok, I’ll stop showing off….

 

It's a Heartache Bonnie Tyler blasting out after the game on team bus

 

Python Lee Jackson springs to mind

 

I remember buying "My people were fair etc" purely on the basis of the cover artwork!

Oh yes, I can still recall that wonderful sense of smugness the first time I put Hot Rats on the sixth form stereo at WGS. Although it has to be said that the reaction was not quite as favourable as I might have hoped…

 

Slightly before my record buying began. But the first full price album I bought was Electric Warrior, and I still love it.

 

My sixth form was full of Ted Nugent fans (male) and girls who wanted to marry David Coverdale.

 

A Hard Rain's Gonna Fall?

 

Radio Leeds. Its a short journey.

 

The Art of Losing - American Hifi

Joking aside, Guns ‘N Roses are brilliant for getting the blood pumping.

The song from Terminator 2 - You Could Be Mine - brilliant especially.

Crank that up and follow up with a bit of Whiskey In The Jar by Metallica and you’ll be stoked.

 

In some recent seasons, this would have been great:

 

Saturdays music has to be The Manics and If You Tolerate This Your Children Will Be Next

 

How about "Songo'o Can't Fail" by the Clash (artistic licence there)

 

Works for me

 

How about one for away trips on the Corn dolly Vengabus
As an aside, before lockdown, one of the guys behind us in Block E main stand missed a match because he was off to see the Vengaboys. I kid you not. You know who you are.

 

Ha ha! I can imagine.
Actually, Hot Rats was quite a favourite in the Upper Sixth Common Room at my school but would have gone down like a cup of cold sick in the Lower 6th one. I used to sneak into the U6 CR when I was in L6 'cos I had mates who were in the year above.
I remember one of the cool lads in L6 informing me that the triple live album Yessongs had been released the previous day. I said, 'Yeah, I know, I've got it', having pre-ordered it. Smug, Moi?
Twice Around the Houses by Jonathan Kelly and CSNY's Four Way Street were two particular common room faves. I also picked up on Wishbone Ash there, leading to a lifelong love of that criminally underrated band.

 

Ted Nugent - euch!
I liked the Deep Purple album, Burn, with Coverdale replacing Gillan, but I never followed him after that though. I did see Whitesnake at Reading Festival in 1979 and they were pretty good. Unfortunately I got there late on the first day 'cos my mum's borrowed Ford Anglia kept breaking down on the way, so I missed Doll by Doll, who I love.
