Top Ten Non Album tracks!

[Zzzptm]

Mos Generator does some excellent stuff on their albums, full of consistency and detail. Then Tony Reed gets a wild hair and does something that won't fit on an album but, thanks to digital releases, sees an audience all the same.

That's the case for the band's cover of Van Halen's "Lighting Up the Sky", which I snapped up as a single some years ago.

These boys can play and sing some great rock and roll, I tell you what!

My 10th and final choice is another rather obvious one but what the heck!

When it was announced that Tony Iommi and Ian Gillan are gonna get together and do a song I jumped up in firm rejoicement (not sure that's a word but WHO CARES!?)

I have to say I had hopes that they'd end up doing an album together but that was not to be...but this song is INCREDIBLE and I'm rather sure that they would have had more than this one and Holy Water in their back pockets had they done the album!

But what a great tune! Had to the final choice here!

I forgot to post yesterday!

My 10th selection is another one by The Damned but this time on their own

The Damned - Disco Man

From the Friday 13th EP (1981), I could have chosen any of the songs because they all rather good. Disco Man is the lead track, followed by "Billy Bad Breaks", "Limit Club" and a cover of the Rolling Stones "Citadel".

OUT OF MY MIND:

That guy on keyboards sounds a lot like Jon Lord, know who it was? And, wow, Jason Newsted sounds pretty decent WHEN HE'S INCLUDED IN THE MIX! And isn't that the same Nicko McBrain that used to drum for Pat Travers?

Seriously, yes, that's a great track. The *compliation* album that includes it also has a ripping version of "Trashed" with a mix I find superior to the one off of Born Again.

DISCO MAN:
Have never heard that one before, that's a great find/share, KDC!

I'd like to submit from Jethro Tull, "The Witch's Promise", a non-album single from 1970:

A lovely, haunting song that I've always enjoyed from the first listening. It's magical to me.

Always enjoyed that tune from Jethro.

Alas, I have nothing to offer by way of another single - my time allotment was misspent these past few days, it seems lol. If I think of anything I know where to go to post it!

That was the version from Ian Gillan's solo album of remakes called Gillan's Inn. A great album! Although that too (in my mind) suffered a bit from a muddy overly compressed production.
