Songs - A-Z List (part 12)

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 😀

Out With The Old, In With The New

As you may, or may not, be aware I had an entertainment blog on another blog site that had basically the same name as this blog. I have had to abandon that blog because the site it is on is rubbish and I now cannot gain access to my blog at all. I hope to be able to import the posts that I put on that blog at some point as I am not going to repeat them on here unless there is no possible alternative. Anyway, I was part way through, for those of you that don't know, an A-Z listing of songs. The tracks, and things, that I list are not my favourites necessarily but are just songs, or whatever, that I know and that stand out for me either in a good or bad way. So I will be carrying that list on from the point I stopped on the other blog.



As a welcome to this, new....ish blog, (maybe I should have added a V0.2 to the end of the blog name😄) I am going to post some random links to some songs and music I like. So here goes and welcome to the new home of my entertainment blog.



Leornard Cohen - I'm Your Man



Beth Orton - I Wish I'd Never Seen The Sunshine



Cradle Of Filth - Dusk And Her Embrace



Spoiler - Electrifying



Gregory Issacs - Night Nurse


That's it for this introduction, more soon.


Any comments always welcome, thanks.
