Hey gang,

There's gonna be loads at the Grove 40th reunion and there's bound to be lots of requests for songs, so, what songs would you like to hear more than any others at the next Grove night??  If you were pushed, what would be your choices for top 5 Grove slow songs and top 5 fast songs??

Mel.

Mel you will not believe me but I was going to do a topic on just this very thing! Great idea even if I say so myself.

I won't be there but if I was I would ask for:

Guitar Man

Dreamer

Our House

Wish you were here

Carry on my wayward son

just to name a few!

Perhaps you should name your era when putting in your songs to give the lads some songs to cover the timespan.

After much thought I have selected the following as my little contribution to the 40th.

SLOW SET.

1. Romeo and Juliet
2. Kayleigh.
2. All out of Love.
4. Stay with me til Dawn.
5. I´m not in love.

FAST AND FURIOUS.

1. Whole Lotta Rosie.
2. Paranoid.
3. Owner of a Lonely Heart.
4. Gloria.
5. Needle in the Groove.

That´s it, that´s me.....

Ok...

Slow...

Old and Wise...Alan Parsons project...

Stay with me 'til Dawn...Judie (the only song that got a thread all it's own)

Romeo + Juliet...Straits

Like a Hurricane...Mr.Young

Iris...Goo Goo Dolls  (this would be its debut at the Grove)

Headshakers...

More than a Feeling...Boston (the Groves anthem by now)

Living in the Past...Tull,

Dearg Doom...Horslips,

The Nile Song...Floyd

Garden Party...Marillion.

Not essentially headbanging stuff,but more prog.Could have a good jump around to Garden Party.

We better start this re-union at about 2 in the afternoon to get through all these...

My memory was never the best, and getting worse, but here we go (as soon as I post this someone will come up with all sorts of other great ones that I'll feel guilty/stupid for having forgotten)...

 

Slow:

Imagine - John Lennon

Wonderful Tonight - Clapton

Stairway to Heaven - Zepp

Fools Rush In - Elvis

Eternal Flame - Bangles

Quick - Quick-ish:

since you've been gone - Rainbow

Paranoid - Sabbath

Alternative Ulster - SLF (need some moshing)

Rock 'n' Roll - Zepp (it was this or rosie for headbanging)

Oliver's Army - Elvis C (was this ever played at the Grove? just love the song)

 

this has meant omitting Black Betty and Come on Eileen which were Grove essentials......

I'm searching for that cash I should have saved for the crash

Floydman, I'm with you on Iris, was just listening to it last night......For ages I thought it was Aslan not Goo Goo Dolls....odd cos the rest of their stuff has that real Canadian sound (If you know what I mean - are they Canadian?)

Ok my 10...Not necessarily my Fav songs but More Grove memory songs if you get my drift.

Era 86-89ish

Headbangin'....

Rainbow - Since you been gone

Santana - She's not there

Boston - More than a feeling

Doobie Brothers - Long train Running (Great for figure of 8 headanging)

Led Zep - Whole Lotta Love

Transition to slow sets...

Skynard - Freebird

Led Zep - Stairway

Snoggin'...

Judy Tsuke - Stay with me til Dawn

Hazel O'Connor - Will you?

Air Supply - All out of love (I hate this song but it wouldn't be the Grove without it)

Moody Blues - Nights in White Satin

Procul Harem - Whiter Shade of Pale

 

Ok so I snuck in 12 - Sorrreeeeee couldn't stop

Very technical Esthalon, the transition from fast to slow songs.biggrin

Difficult one this but here goes.

Fast - Roadhouse Blues,Sweet Child O' Mine,The Boys are Back in Town,She's Not There and Communication Breakdown.

Slow - Angie,Will You ?,Wish You Were Here,Jealous Guy and Still in Love With You.

Again, not necessarily personal favourites but Essentials.
