MrsWoodsrules Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 Okay, little light hearted thread, these threads get a bit heavy at times. So, which three tracks really float your boat at the moment? What three would you open a set with? I'll start with what gets hammers on my headphones at work. Vernon Greene, Look At Me, Look At Me. Versatones, Rolin, Rolin. The Venturas, Heart Of Love. If I was a DJ, I'd open with these great tunes. What are your three 'openers' then? 3 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

jocko Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 (edited) And there was me coming on to moan about another rock music thread, since you get so sensitive whenever I answer you on any political thread nowadays..... And get it out of freebasing and over to AATS before it veers off into progressive rock! Funny just had 3 things come up on my shuffle today in order and thought would be great adrenaline start to a set Koko Taylor Fire (amphetasoul) Erskine Mobely Luck Man (always like the one instrumental in set) Linda Jones Cant Stop Loving My Baby (Still say its her best dancer) Then Diane Lewis I Thank You Kindly and 3/4 an hour of Beat Ballads just to confirm I can't DJ Edited January 24, 2014 by jocko 3 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
jocko Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 Wigan's Ovation "Skiing In The Snow" Ruth Swan "Tainted Love" Sounds Of Lancashire "Footsee". No sorry, even Time Vine's material is much much better. 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
