Quo's "Caroline" and "Mean Girl", Creedence "Bad Moon Rising", Neil Young "After The Goldrush", Bowie "Jean Genie", CSNY "Helpless", Led Zeppelin "Rock n' Roll" and of course Bitch "Good Time Coming", Doors "Eye Of The Sun" Just a few. Like HD's thread of 5 favourite albums it's not easy to name one favourite song from the Grove.  |

Hey Pat, In my never-ending quest for Grove singles, I ventured into Rhythm records on Aston Quay last week and picked up Bad Moon Rising in one of them "old gold" type pic sleeves for 2. It wasnt played during my era down at the Grove but a great song and just thought, ah sure Pat would want me to get it!! Mel. |

For me the one song that instantly takes me right back to headbanging down the back is Rainbow - Since You Been Gone. Other ones that really remind me of the Grove are Santana - She's Not There and Ram Jam - Black Betty...They were the big 3 for me, played every week. I suppose the connection is so strong cos I never heard them anywhere else (Except on my stereo of course |

I always loved hearing Radio Ga-Ga by Queen at the Grove, mainly because "Freddie" would be on stage and we all thought that was so cool!!!!

There's too many!!!!! Black Betty is definately one, but there was Mama's Boys 'Needle in the Groove' and 'Why can't this be love' by Van Halen. The Van Halen one reminds of a guy called Jeff Kissane, who I was going out with at the Grove, and then he emigrated to Australia!! I was devastated at the time, but thankfully, I've got over it. By the way, I used to work in Shree. What a great way to meet men when you're single!!!!!!!!!!! |

Welcome Irish Widow. Needle in the Groove by Mamas Boys - great song. Saw Mamas Boys do a small gig in a hotel in Bundoran in Donegal, when holidaying with friends in the 80s. Most of the crowd were middle-aged to oldish people, who didnt look too impressed with the music being played. |

"Nutbush City Limits" recalls those Grove nights in the mid-70's when we used dance around our crash helmets shouting "motorcycles ain't." aloud (sic). Don't you remeber Pat? Whe are you going on holidays? |
