Yeah! But what's THE song? - Britmovie

Harleybloke · 27-04-2008, 08:10 AM

Following on from Bats' Bands of the 70s, everyone has a song that they like best but a lot of bands have an obvious 'anthem', no gig is complete without it!

Some though are harder so c'mon people, help me out with this pls.........

Easy Ones (I think.....

)
Led Zeppelin - 'Stairway to Heaven'
Lynyrd Skynyrd - 'Freebird'
AC/DC - 'Let there be Rock'
Wishbone Ash - 'Blowin Free'

Harder.........
The Rolling Stones '- 'Gimme Shelter'.?
Pink Floyd - 'The Great Gig in the Sky'...?
Deep Purple?
The Who?

Suggestions anyone?

Deep Purple = Smoke on the Water
The Who = My Generation
The Saw Doctors = N17
Thin Lizzy = Whiskey In The Jar
Black Sabbath = Paranoid
Uriah Heep = Gypsy
Focus = Hocus Pocus
Golden Earring = Radar Love
Nils Lofgren = Keith Don't Go
Sex Pistols = Anarchy In The UK
Clash = White Riot

I am sure I will think of some more later ....

I'd have said 'Easy Livin' for the Heep Bats?

Good shout ..... but 'Gypsy' always gets 'em going. Mrs Bat reckons 'Look at Yourself' would be the one.

This reminds me of the sketch from, I think, Big train where Kevin Eldon keeps heckling at a Ralph McTell concert, demanding the song.

I disagree with the Thin Lizzy anthem.
Surely it has to be 'The Boys Are Back In Town'.

With The Clash I'd suggest that 'London Burning' would be their world anthem.
