Every song I hear is like the first song that I've ever heard. A Sylvain inspired Rampage Of Songs posted most Fridays from 7:15pm. Long Live Rock'n'Roll!

The simple answer is to scrap these unnecessary tests. We've all been double vaccinated and that was what we were promised should be enough to go on holiday.
Pick me a song from this album?
I will play a track in this Friday night's Rampage of Songs after 7:15pm and post it here on X.
Looking forward to your suggestions..
There's a local 3 day music festival on that looks appalling. I'm saving my money and time and heading back to 31 December 1969 right now..

Jimi Hendrix - Band Of Gypsys
Album of the night 1
I came across a song a few weeks ago that shook me to my bones. It was Racing In The Street. I immediately ordered this album.
First play..

Bruce Springsteen - Darkness On The Edge Of Town
My Top 150 Albums
94. There's magic in these here notes. Fantastic album exploring new territory for Rainbow.
Also one of those where the CD definitely sounds a million times clearer than the old mushy vinyl.
#nowplaying
Rainbow - Long Live Rock'n'Roll
Album of the day
When I was about 10 years old I thought Solsbury Hill was just about the greatest thing I'd ever heard. It's still fantastic, as is this album.
#nowplaying
Peter Gabriel - Peter Gabriel
My Top 150 Albums
84. The really good stuff is coming thick and fast now. For me at least this was my favourite Sabbath album to this point (and not many I liked more afterwards).
#nowplaying
Black Sabbath - Sabbath Bloody Sabbath
Album of the day
I have had the original CD issue of this for well over 30 years. I finally, finally have the remaster so looking forward to some aural bliss.
#nowplaying
Led Zeppelin - IV
Album of the day.
Today's choice is inspired by
@caroline_binnie
's great photos from a couple of days ago.
If there was ever only one rock' n'roll album left in the world, you couldn't go far wrong with this one.
#nowplaying
Ramones - Ramones
Album of the day 1
Worked hard gardening all morning so slotting in an extra unplanned treat.
Am I the only one with a weekly playlist of albums or do others do it?!
#nowplaying
Queen - News Of The World
My Top 150 Albums
127. When I was younger I didn't really appreciate the softer aspects of this album. Time has put that right though - this is just sublime.
#nowplaying
Led Zeppelin - Led Zeppelin III
Album of the day 2
Next up in my BOC indoctrination..
Astronomy and Flaming Telepaths are two of my favourite ever songs, so looking forward to the rest greatly.
#nowplaying
Blue Oyster Cult - Secret Treaties
Album Of The Day 2
I can't believe I didn't buy this back in the day but the critics scared me off. It's fab!
#nowplaying
Aerosmith - Night In The Ruts
Album Of The Day
This one was a life changer. By 13 years old I was already an experienced music fan and I had quite an extensive record collection. I was a bit homeless after punk and then DogEatDog came along..
#nowplaying
Adam And The Ants - Kings Of The Wild Frontier
My Top 150 Albums
88. My first Scorpions was 'Another Piece' on a green vinyl single in 1979, never looked back! This is a true classic with added Schenker too!
#nowplaying
Scorpions - Lovedrive
This should be mentioned in the same breath as 2112, Stargazer, Child In Time, Stairway etc... but it rarely is. Incredible epic song!
#nowplaying
Uriah Heep - Salisbury (the song)
#rampageofsongs
Album of the day
When I became a fully fledged rocker in the early 80s, I think this was the first venture I made back to a previous era. Still love it!
#nowplaying
Deep Purple - In Rock
And we start the festivities again this week with an absolute classic Floyd..
#nowplaying
Pink Floyd - Shine On You Crazy Diamond (pts 1-9)
#rampageofsongs
Album of the day
Never heard this in its entirety before. As a kid I had all the early Beatles albums (originals from my dad).
I asked him why he stopped at Rubber Soul and he said "The Beatles went weird."
So here's The Beatles going weird..
#nowplaying
The Beatles - Revolver
Album Of The Day 1
My favourite of the magic 5 I think. The sound Jimmy Miller captures is just stunning.
#nowplaying
The Rolling Stones - Exile On Main St
Having enjoyed seeing
@clairy07wairy
run through The Stranglers singles I used to have, I'm playing this classic. Think it was the first ever punk live album, almost as memorable for the between song interludes as the fab live renditions.
#nowplaying
The Stranglers - Live X-Cert
Album of the day 2
Very different to most music I listened to as a teenager, but without Marillion I would never have loved classic prog rock like I do today.
#nowplaying
Marillion - Misplaced Childhood
@Tesco
Sorry Tesco but after 18 months your stance is completely oppressive and at odds with the more relaxed approach of other supermarket chains. I am drastically cutting back my planned Tesco purchases.

49. What a return this was, incredible album. I will never ever forget that rainy day and fun night at Knebworth.
#nowplaying
Deep Purple - Perfect Strangers
Album of the day 1
For some reason this album gets a mixed reaction from fans. I love it - terrific songs and Rush with their rock mojo back. One of my later favourite albums of theirs.
#nowplaying
Rush - Test For Echo
Album of the day 1
One of the greatest pleasures of this year for me has been discovering the early Uriah Heep albums. Absolutely top drawer stuff!
#nowplaying
Uriah Heep - Very 'Eavy Very 'Umble
Album of the night
Sometimes you just really look forward to hearing an album and are filled with anticipation (even if you know it pretty well). That's how I am tonight ready to enjoy this absolute live classic!

Whitesnake - Live.. In The Heart Of The City
