Getting down to Dad rock! - OHR

**broadsword** · **07-01-12**, **10:43 AM**

Anyone else guilty of this pleasure ? As I work through the night accompanied by my DAB I've come across a station called Real XS that has surpassed any other rock station with its supreme song selections.Always been a bit of a rock and roll kid although I dabble in a bit of anything really but this stations got me right back into it.I can often be found dancing (quite well as it goes) the night away or singing along (quite terrible as it goes) whilst working a long or indeed when I'm sciving and checking OHR out on me phone

For those younger who haven't quite felt the magic I'm going to suggest a couple of classics for ya to look up on tinterweb to get ya started.

Rainbow- I surrender
Robert Palmer - Bad case of loving you
AC-DC-Whole lotta rosie (you can actually take your pick as most of theres are classics)
Bon Jovi-Blaze of glory
Slade-look wot you dun
Iron maiden-Hallowed be thy name/Fear of the dark (live) can't decide.
Black Sabbath- You can take your pick again but one of Ozzy's solo efforts -I DON'T WANNA STOP proper Dad rock classic.
Led zepplin-Black dog
Queen-Fat Bottom girls
Thin lizzy- take your pick although Jailbreak,dancing in the moonlight are personal favourites but Stone cold sweat is a dad rock song about gambling

.

If your not a convert after some of those beauts then there really is no hope for you amongst the human race

I generally listen to newer music these days mate but still like a few classics every now & again.

Most of the bands you have mentioned all have some good tunes that aren't so wellknown. The ones I'd never get bored of listening to are these ones though:

Crazy Train - Ozzy Osbourne
Don't Believe a Word - Thin Lizzy
Back In Black - AC/DC
The Immigrant Song - Led Zep
747 (Strangers in the night) or Wheels of Steel - Saxon
Great White Buffalo/Cat Scratch Fever - Ted Nugent
Shooting Star - Bad Company

Feck,theres loads!!! Theres loads from the 90's too (the 90's seemed to pass me by & I was too loved up) but I am reliving it all now. The Pixies,The Rollins Band,RATM,etc,etc.

In the meantime heres a different version of Thin Lizzy's Don't Believe a Word with, IMO, the best line up they had with Gary Moore & Scott Gorham on guitars.
