YOB Song?

[bigthumb]

I was playing along to Elton Johns 'Goodbye yellow brick road' (as you do) and really enjoying it. I noticed it was from 1973.

So Dose any body have a favourite play along song from their year of birth?

The Sweet and 'Blockbuster' were at No.1 when I popped out, maybe I should learn my birth day song too!

Status Quo - Roll Over Lay Down - 1975

There are other really good songs from that year, such as Bohemian Rhapsody and Stand By Your Man, but the Quo track is my favourite to play along to, even if it is rather simple, or maybe because it's simple.

I'm an ABBA baby

[Judo Chop]

I think Erasure were at number one when I was born...

Greensleeves!

I think I would need a double bass, don't think they had invented the bass guitar in 1958!

Two spring to mind.

led Zeppelin recorded "The song remains the same" cinematic film the day I was born, and JPJ was one very big influence when I started playing.

Mistletoe and Wine - cliff richard. Uurgh!

[Hobbayne]

The Beatles - Eight Days A Week, with a lovely walking bass by Macca. Funny, I always thought this was a single!

[bertbass]

I'm feeling a bit left out here as there wasn't even a record chart when I was born, only a sheet music chart.

I always liked Metallica's "Kill 'em all" album, and that was released the same year as me.

They had - and done it so well it's yet to be improved on (mm, controversial )

Connie Francis was rocking our parents' worlds with something called 'Carolina Moon' when you and I first played air bass.

Although 'Can't Buy Me Love' was No1 when I was born the one my mum associates with me & YOB is a No1 from later in the year that she used to sing along with to me when it came on the radio - 'Baby Love' by the Supremes. Fortunately I was too young to be embarassed and presumably it was Jamerson on bass so I'll let her off.

Thank you, Bremen for that gem of widom. Carolina Moon, I know it, used to sing along with my Dad, though in later years I suspect rather than in the year I was actually born. I will now crank up Youtube and have a playalong to celebrate.

Ellefson is by far my biggest influence.

As for pointy guitars, I want one of these :

[stingrayPete1977]

Do you have to have some kind of training or a licence to own one of those?

[charic]

Nope... you just need a spare £3000+

[fumps]

The four season's- Ho what a night.

I'm so pleased I was nearly an ABBA baby. That would not have made me a happy bunny

[RAY AGAINST THE MACHINE]

Noone likes us we don't care. Oops , wrong kind of YOB.
Anyway , 1962., gotta think.dec 1962

[thisnameistaken]

I was born in 1974, bit of a fallow era for pop music. Charles Aznavour's 'She' was at number 1 on my birthday...
