U2 Out of Control ,Talking Heads Life During Wartime ,Thin Lizzy Still in Love with You , Luke Kelly Raglan Road , Zeppelin Your Time is Gonna Come , Magazine Feed The Enemy , Doors LA Woman , Skynyrd Sweet Home Alabama , Zeppelin Black Mountain Side and Zeppelin again Rain Song.

Like everyone,I could keep going for ever.

pantera were a heavy metal band from the 90s. they split up, and the lead guitarist formed another band, damage plan, before being shot on stage last year.

zepplin are good, so are the doors.

Yeah Lenny,

Zeppelin were my band when I first got into music as a kid.Then it was the heavier stuff I liked,Communication Breakdown,Wholo Lotta Love,Rock and Roll etc.Now I tend to listed to the folkier stuff more.

Have you ever seen their movie " The Song remains The Same "

Magic. Page is just awesome. Best ever guitarist for my money.

Rolo. ( See still no sig.)

No its not the teen pop song sung by Tiffaney but a much better one!  Its full name is "The first Time ever I saw your face"

I'm sure one of the ahem senior members will be able to educate us as to who wrote it etc.

Rolo,

Watched the Catherine Wheel last night.........have to say I didn't really like it.  Is it an aqcuired taste like Guinness by any chance?  Maybe just listening to the audio is less distracting, I presume you've watched it many a time?

yeah I knew Roberta Flack sang it, but I don't think it was her song originally tho I could be way off the mark.

Xgh,

I came into work this morning swearing that I wouldn't go near this forum until at least two or three o'clock, but oh no just had to have a little peep and guess what..............

The dance doesn't do it for me,it's the soundtrack,think " Eyes Wide Open " is a great song and as for " What a Day That Was " ,you've seen it in the live show,brilliant.

If you didn't like The Catherine Wheel,steer well clear of " My Life in the Bush of Ghosts " with Eno, or you'll never talk to me again.

Anyway,no idea who wrote your girly song.

Rolo. ( Still looking for a trendy sig.Suggestions  anyone ?)

From the ole internet...

Re The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face

Folk singer Ewan MacColl wrote this in 1957 for his wife, Peggy Seeger. She was in a play and phoned him for suggestions on a song for a romantic scene. MacColl wrote this on the spot in less than an hour, playing it over the phone for his wife to use in her play.

It was used in the 1972 Clint Eastwood movie Play Misty For Me. It gave a great deal of exposure to the mostly unknown Flack.

It won the Grammy in 1973 for Song Of The Year.

Many artists have covered this, including Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash, Mel Torme, Isaac Hayes, and Gordon Lightfoot.

 

My life in the Bush of Ghosts is the one my husband reminded me I can't stand.  Apparently the last time he tried to play it when I was in the house I nearly ran out screaming.  Wisely he now indulges when I'm out!  Amazing how the imagination of one man can write stuff I love and stuff that I'm allergic to!

At least I'm not the only one that likes it.( Bush of Ghosts.)

Never even knew Ewan McColl was married to Peggy Seeger. She is responsible for one of my favourites ,Springhill Mining Disaster. Bono and the Boys have been known to give it a rattle on occasion.

She also wrote " Lifeboat Mona "  which has been discussed in the Song Lyrics Forum.

Are you familiar with " The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald " that eejit and Stevie have been discussing ?

Rolo.
