[RichardM]

My favourite version is from ”One Night in Dublin”. The concert Gary Moore arranged as a tribute to Phil. Featured Eric Bell on guitar.

I've got that on BluRay. It's great played loud

 

[VW911]

I can feel a "Live and Dangerous" night coming on.....

 

[chillipickle]

I am only 27 lisa

Remember seeing the roses at the hacienda late 80's......long long time ago now tho

 

[Benfleet Brewery]

Just what I was going to say...
Seen Gary Moore, but really regret never seeing Thin Lizzy

I saw them at the Dominion Theatre, Tottenham Court Road on the Thunder and Lightning tour but there was a problem with the sound all night. The keyboards drowned everything else out

Another Rush fan here, I'm also a fan (in no particular order) of Lynyrd Skynyrd, AC/DC, Led Zeppelin, Mötorhead, Jethro Tull and Yes.

AC/DC and Motörhead are my faves from your list

Why does the putting the coat on emoji look like someone is being shot?

Agree. Genius he was. The husband hates him and he moans when I play him. Weirdo!

When I was about 16 I had a ticket to see Bowie with my mate. His sister really wanted to go, so because I fancied her I let her have my ticket. It didn't do me any good, she turned out to be gay.

Watched that the other night on you tube for the first time. Quality.

Very annoying! Gutted I missed out on the opportunity to see him too. Didn’t appreciate how good he was until it was too late.

Some good bands mentioned here.
Like most of you I have some eclectic tastes, though not well musically educated - i.e. I could do with broadening my Spotify.

No particular order, depending on mood, there are some that were from back in the day that I still listen to and others that press buttons that are more recent:

• Stone roses ( just something about them. Used to listen to all their albums with a bottle of rum and coke)
• AC/DC ( inherited from my uncle)
• Metallica ( from back in school, but they keep getting better and better more I listen)
• Runrig ( Courtesy of a colleague. Celtic spirit )
• Thin Lizzy ( Dedication got me started. My latest Saison is named after one of their tracks - Out in the Fields)
• Dire Straits ( I'm a Geordie and child of the 70s/80s)
• The Walkmen ( a recent addition, because of The Rat)
• Queen ( listened to them doing my paper round )
• Radiohead ( soundtrack of the 90's )
• Deep Purple ( ground breaking )
• Brian Eno (also ground breaking)
• Ocean Colour Scene ( late 90's good times )

Been going back to Marillion too recently.

If you like ac/dc, give Airbourne a try. Absolutely awesome. Particularly ‘Too much, too young, too fast’

 

[MmmBeer]

Do you mean Thin Lizzy's version? That wasn't original. It is a traditional Irish song that is a couple of hundred years old but became well known in the 60s when the Dubliners recorded it.

I heard a story, maybe apocryphal, that when Thin Lizzy visited London to audition for a record contract, they played a number of covers, but were then asked to play one of their original numbers. Phil suggested they do Whiskey in the Jar, as nobody English would have ever heard it. The rest as they say is history.

 

[StJayJay]

All sorts really, recent things on shuffle has been Pulp, Beatles, any 80s hair metal, Smashing Pumpkins, White Stripes, Nick Cave, Proclaimers, DJ Shadow, a good Tarantino soundtrack, Radiohead, Miles Davis, Queen, Gomez. It’s a bit chaotic.

 

[Tess Tickle's Brewery]

Love your list, though the hair metal is my fave!

If you haven’t heard of them, try Reckless Love

 

[London]

Santana, Macy Grey,The Doors, Ska, reggae,House,Jazz, Early rap and hip hop and just about everything else except folk.

 

[Alastair70]

Today’s run on Spotify included Opeth, Bootsy Collins and the Alex Skolnik Trio in consecutive songs. The daily playlist algorithm has a lot to cope with given my wide and varied listening habits.
