Tam's Ten

1. Motherless Children - Eric Clapton The opening track on 461 Ocean Boulevard, this also reminds me of the "Not the 9 o'clock News" TV show.
2. Happy - Rolling Stones The most upbeat track from what I regard as their best album.
3. Goin Up The Country - Canned Heat Woodstock! Need I say more?
4. I Get Around - Beach Boys Teenage memories of growing up in the 60's
5. Boys of Summer - Don Henley Don't know why but this always reminds me of waiting in a check-in queue at Manchester airport.
6. Ride My SeeSaw - Moody Blues Although most of their stuff is slower, this was the stand out track on their third album.
7. Lazy - Deep Purple Much better than "Smoke on the Water" - the track normally remembered from Machine Head.
8. Sweet Child o' Mine - Guns N' Roses Instantly recognisable from the first notes from Slash's guitar. What a great riff!
9. Dancing in The Dark - Bruce Springsteen Hot sweaty discos on mid 1980's Spanish holidays.
10. All Right Now - Free Vintage 70's rock but still performed live today by Paul Rodgers and Queen.
