Oh, my. Where to start? Everything by **Alice Cooper** of course, but particularly “Feed my Frankenstein”, “Hello Hooray”, “School’s Out”, all of “Trash”, especially 'Poison", all of “Raise Your Fist And Yell”, especially “Freedom”. all of “Hey Stoopid”, “Frankenstein” of course but also 'Might As Well Be On Mars" um, yeah, let’s just leave it at EVERYTHING. I’ll also crank it up for - “ **Don’t Fear the Reaper** ” - Blue Oyster Cult “ **Paint it Black** ” - Stones “ **Conquisitador** ” - Procal Harum The last one almost got me collected by an ambulance once. I didn’t even hear the siren. Oops! ---

Deep Purple, **Child In Time** : the live version, off Made In Japan. Best guitar solo ever - I achieved my personal land speed record driving to this song when I was 19 and stupid: 227 kph. Oh, and ANYTHING by Cheap Trick - now I’m old and have slowed down a bit. ---

I do the weddings/dances/parties DJ job on the side. The following songs usually get a “turn it up” shout from somebody in the crowd. Not my choices but possibly an informal pole. (except the Selby tune. He’s not well known but I “push” him at my jobs and return customers have grown fond) **Taking care of Business** - BTO **Wild Thing** - Tone Luc **The Electric Slide** - Carousel **What am I doing** - Mark Selby \*\* The Train, C’mon and ride it\*\* My _personal_ choices in the car are - **La Rosa Negra** - Gary Hoey **Eminence Front** - The Who **Burn in Hell** - Joe Bonamassa **Wander this world** - Johnny Lang **Too much stuff** - Delbert McClinton **Hazy Shade of winter** - Bangles And I’m worried that **fishbicycle** may be deaf by now if he listens to all of that music at full volume. 😃 ---
