Interesting, no Barry Manilow then, suprised me that?
Motörhead. Once worked with a lad and we were talking best song lyrics. His was the ace of spades?:
Another town another screw, another sniff of superglue, Alright...

not seen that one fella - I never really did OFAH... not sure why. must've clashed with Monkey on bbc2 or something...
Like slaves though - I first saw them on Sunday Brunch tearing it up live in the studio - bizarre and brilliant!

You seen much of slaves?
Seen them on a couple of undercards and enjoyed it but it doesn't seem to translate to recordings.
I think a lot of that genre, I need the energy of a live performance to get into it
Mal, I can't hear that track without finding the cwying scene from only fools and horses

Love the Planty story but I will have to disagree about power ballads. 
I'm off to clean my ears out with some of THIS

Inspired by Ken - the big 'O' - my favourites of his songs. What a voice. I think Elvis called him the best singer in the world. Hard to argue... one of the all time greatest
this version is stunning...

wow
Never heard that version of Stairway before and my head is blown. Absolutely brilliant - actually brought a tear to my eye with that one.
I saw Page and Plant on the tour they did for the 'No Quarter' album with the full on arabian orchestra - Kashmir never sounded better.
When I was in my early 20's I did some occasional work at a recording studio up in Cumbria (pretty much worked for pizza, studio time and to watch and learn). Francis Dunnery of 'It Bites' fame was doing some guitar tracks there for an album he was doing some session work on. So he's in the studio recording one day and I'm on phone duty. A call comes through for him and I say 'sorry, he's in the studio at the minute, can I give him a message and get him to call you back?'
The well spoken voice on the other end says 'Yeah that's fine. Just tell him Planty called and the tracks sound great so far.'
Turns out 'Planty' was of course Robert Plant his royal self. When I found out I'd spoken to him I had to have a sit down!
As for Heart - great band. Surely responsible for one of the top 5 power ballads ever ....

Play it loud and feel your heart breaking man!
