You want riffs? Timelessness. Rock. Bang away!!!! The pride of Melbourne.

Love that song!

[Gilly Goodness]

But not like I love my Guitar!!

Like a funky Edge-driven U2 song. If you walk away. Walkaway! Fun. Funky.

Face of a 60 Year old.
Body of a 30 year old yoga instructor.
Energy of a 20 year old.

DAKOTA

Stereophonics Live 8 2005.

"Wake up call, coffee and juice. " You know the one.


Remember listenin' in bed to the Livestream of this gig. U2 with Macca. Reformed Floyd. But my highlight was this dead set banger.

[Mr. Holland]

Supergrass - pumping on your stereo. Very upbeat banger!

SHAKE IT OFF

Béic Amach - "Shake it off" le Taylor Swift as Gaeilge



Taylor Swift but performed by Irish Language Performin' Arts School from the West Coast of Ireland.

https://youtu.be/0ambBEMNGOw

This is my favourite video find of 2022. The greatest fun-pop banger of the Twenty First Century performed in Gaelic.
With tremendous joy and panache!!! Go you Connemara Good Things!!!





(also there are reports Sinn Fein and Mary Lou McDonald are considerin' these kids to perform the night of Reunification. What a night that's gonna be!!)

WHEN YOU'RE GONE

Bryan Adams and Melanie C.

https://youtu.be/wB4fLBULvdE

"Even food don't taste so good".....you know it.

This vid is 20 years later. Rerecorded. Mel C hasn't aged a day.
Filmed in Widnes. You'll see where at end.
Absolute banger. Don't think. Just feel.
What rock music was made for. To celebrate love and the whole damn thin' !!!

So post your guilty pleasure songs. They get sneered at. Uncool. Please.
Let people like what they like.

Rebrand? Bullshit. The once and only Bryan Adams and Mel C.


And this is how these young punks did it back in the day....

Kudos to dude on organ.

Had zero idea Bryan Adams ever was involved with or sang on a "cute song" like that.

I was dumbfounded back in the day to hear that a somewhat Mr. Gravely-Voice on most of hits, despite his amazing popularity and exposure, somehow got to record a duet with Barbara Streisand of all people. Yet "Somehow! Somewhere!", that, too, worked out splendidly.

As long as it takes off and does not relent!!!!

[Mr. Holland]

You can always count on Toto for a dead set banger; a lesser known fast paced blues rocker from the "Falling in Between" album:

[Gilly Goodness]

MUSE.

Time Is Runnin' Out

Saw this LIVE back in the day. Epic. Dead set banger. Mosh Pit went right back to the back stalls.

WAITIN' FOR A STAR TO FALL


Boy Meets Girl

https://youtu.be/RhxF9Qg5mOU

Pop banger of the highest order. Great singin'. Great sax solo.

[Gilly Goodness]

4EVER

The Veronicas

https://youtu.be/PE8XM1gHEno

Before t.a.T.U., were these Aussie twins. The Origlasso sisters. Pop-banger!!!!

Have seen them around town. They stand about 4 foot tall. Spunky!!!


Fun Fact: The composer Max Martin gave it to Pink a year later with different lyrics. U and Ur Hand

[Gilly Goodness]

Ultimate soccer crowd banger.

Jack. Meg. 7 Nation Army.

Riff-banger for the ages.

They'll be chantin' this on Mars in 123 years time. Ooops . I've said too much.

https://youtu.be/0J2QdDbelmY

1/2 a billion views. 4 million likes. Not too shabby.

Saw Jack with the Raconteurs and then the Dead Weather. Amazin'. Best gigs.





Gotta say. These two caught magic in a bottle. Raw. Sublime. Not 5 dudes playin' the usual rock instruments. No bass. Just 2 people. Btw. Married or brother and sister?

TRULY PROGRESSIVE.
