And so it begins

It's about time I started sharing out some music with the world, Google blogger seems the ideal place to make a start.

I'm going to start by going through my albums and posting a track or two from each, it will take some time and I may get bored along the way

There will be pop and rock, classic and country, glam and prog, hip hop will not be allowed.
There will be happy music, sad music and angry music, music from the future and music from the past, music from the time when we sang Shang a Lang and we ran with the gang.

We'll be taking off in our Silver Machine, heading for Wild End and waving Goodbye to Albion as we launch a Sonic Attack on your senses. You will hear it deep beneath the Rolling Waves in Labyrinths of Coral Caves.

Please feel free to comment and make suggestions of your own but more importantly listen and try to enjoy, don't let your prejudices of different genres get in the way.

I will also post a random track of the day, just to keep you off your guard.

You may like some stuff, you may not and there will be stuff that you haven't heard of before.

In the words of Alan Freeman, off we go pop pickers, not arf, it's time to cue up the first track, you were expecting Bachman Turner Overdrive but let me say, you ain't seen nothing yet.

And finally, I don't own any of this music, if you like it, go out and buy it, if you don't artists like this will disappear and we'll be left with the same churned out garbage that seems to occupy most of the radio stations these days.
