Just suffered through an unfortunate birthday (40
.........and crossed my thousand post milestone on the same day
) and having a quiet grog and pizza night tomorrow (tonight - Saturday - actually) and for once...............no kids and I'm insisting on controlling the music. I have about 8 hours to fill in assuming my sister hangs around til all hours as usual in a vain attempt to get me pissed. The (small) crowd is mostly people my age - a mix of those who sorta know their rock , those who would really only know Aussie/classic rock and a few who are clueless . Metal really wouldn't go over that well , so I've come up with an idea of a mix of classic rock/hair metal/melodic rock with an alphabetical theme through the night...................so basically running from A-Z of band names and trying to get a mix that will keep both me and the crowd happy with just enough obscure/tongue in cheek stuff to keep things interesting.
Here's the list.
