1. That one was easy. (Hey there, NightTrain) |
|
Good question, and fortunately (for me, anyhow), it was easy to pick the correct answer (he said, modestly): "Rock and Roll Music".

4. Mekons rocknroll aka Memphis, Egypt |
|
"Destroy your safe and happy lives Before It is too late The battles we fought were long and hard Just not to be consumed by rock'n'roll Rock'n'roll! Capitalismos, favourite boy-child We must apologise Up in the rafters a rope is dangling Spots before the eyes of rock'n'roll Rock'n'roll! We know the devil We have met him, Embraced him And thought his foul breath was Chanel #666 Just like rock'n'roll... East Berlin can't buy a thing There's nothing they can sell me I walk through the wall there's no pain at all I'm born inside the belly of rock'n'roll Rock'n'roll! It's something to sell your labour for When hair sprouts out below I'm a microscope on that secret place where we all want to go Rock'n'roll! Rock'n'roll!"
If you heard the cd version, or it live you'd be a fan of theirs for life. It's a brutal swipe at the music industry.

18. I'd add The Load out/Stay by Jackson Browne |
|
It may not even be my favorite, but gives a nice perspective of life on the road - and that is Rock n Roll.

25. "The Load Out/ Stay" by Jackson Browne is great! So is |
|
the original "Stay" by Maurice Williams and the Zodiacs (1963.) But Jackson Browne captured the Rock n Roll experience of touring.

...that wasn't one of the poll choices. It was the first song I thought of when I saw the subject header.

23. I think my next homemade CD project... |
|
...will be a two-volume set of songs like those mentioned in this thread. I think I'll call it something like, "Rock 'n' Roll Celebrates Itself."
Something for me to ruminate on as I travel the highways and byways of Greater Hartford making deliveries this fine Monday....
