Re: A favourite song?
Pffft! Fancy having to play second fiddle to an amateur like Eric Clapton, I'll put up his rubbish version anyway
Eric Clapton - Wonderful tonight - https://youtu.be/vUSzL2leaFM
Frank Sinatra - My way - https://youtu.be/5AVOpNR2PIs

I must be just a tad older than most of you guys here as my music likes are early rock and roll some early rockabilly.
My most memorable song from that era Johnny Burnett "Your Sixteen" released in 1961 written by the Sherman's and the worse cover version of any song ever was Ringo's version of it

Re: A favourite song?
There are so many great Motown records, you're right it's bit of a surprise, I can't say I was over enamoured with the Beatles, I'm most likely in the minority but I think they were greatly overrated but just "happened" at the right time. The Police were a great band at the time but I lost interest when Sting started going all weirdo. Here's a Beatles track I do like.

Re: A favourite song?
That was a great song, I remember being a kid up in my bedroom listening to all the "grown ups" at my mums parties belting out Spirit in the Sky at the top of their voices, I'd then get told off for not being asleep :s
It also put me in mind of another great group Wizzard, Roy Wood was in a few bands but one of my favourites was The Move.

Gary Moore, a great track, another Moore, Christy Moore, not the greatest singer and not popular with all Irish, he's bit of a rebel and his protest songs don't sit well with everyone.
