These are the ten tracks I've chosen for the letter K, the titles are links to videos.
1. Knife Edge - ELP.
Emerson Lake and Palmer were a band I got into when I was younger, they were one of the bands I remember one of my brothers playing quite a bit. I became a big fan of their first album, Trilogy, Tarkus and Pictures At An Exhibition. This is a track I remember really well and that I still like a lot.
2. Kevin Carter - Manic Street Preachers.
I have no idea why exactly but from the first time I ever heard this track I really liked it. I bought the album because, like many people, I really got into Design For Life but this is one of a few other tracks on the album that really grabbed me.
3. Kop Karma - ManBreak.
I first heard this track on a free CD that was on the cover of a magazine, can't remember which one now. It is another song that I can't really say exactly why I like it so much, I just know I do.
4. Kashmir - Led Zepplin.
A classic track from a classic band. It is difficult with some bands to list favourite songs but if I were to put together a list of favourite Zeppelin tracks this one would definitely be on it.
5. King Of The Road - Roger Miller.
I remember hearing this song when I was a kid. It was one of those songs that just seemed to be around a lot and which really stuck in my mind, I've heard a few covers of this but still think the original is the best.
6. King Rocker - Generation X.
Billy Idol when he was good, before he became a Hollywood rock star and became a cartoon punk. I was never a really big fan of Generation X but there are a few of their songs that I always liked. This is verging on Punkabilly, and in many ways is more Rockabilly than Punk, but whatever you want to class it as (me I just call it music), it is just a good song.
7. Knights Of Cydonia - Muse.
Muse are an odd band, they seem to be either really serious in their songwriting or sound almost like they're taking the piss, either out of themselves and/or their music. Personally I love that and I think this song, and the video for it are excellent.
8. Kid Charlemagne - Steely Dan.
I find that Steely Dan are a band that, apart from possibly Reeling In The Years, people either really like or really dislike. I like them a lot, I like the mix of styles they seem to blend together to great effect, I like the lyrics and the imagery they use in them, I like the feel and atmosphere of their songs, and this is one of many of their songs I really like.
9. Knock On Wood - Eddie Floyd.
At times, I don't think you can beat a good soul classic and this is one that I've always liked. It has been covered a number of times, some of which I really like, David Bowie's version is great, and some of which I don't, Aimee Stewart's discoy version is just plain annoying, but I still think this is a brilliant version and one well worth a listen.
10. Killer - Adamski.
I'm not an Adamski fan, but I like Seal's voice and I just think this is a good song that is well produced and well put together.
That's all for this post, more soon.....ish 😀
