What are you listening to?

The mighty Tull - saw them live a few times - Ian Anderson gave me a lift once when I hitching in Skye - which was pretty cool - I.

'Happy and I'm smiling
Walk a mile to drink your water
You know I'd love to love you
And above you there's no other
We'll go walking out
While others shout of war's disaster
Oh, we won't give in
Let's go living in the past
Once I used to join in
Every boy and girl was my friend
Now there's revolution, but they don't know
What they're fighting
Let us close our eyes
Outside their lives go on much faster
Oh, we won't give in
We'll keep living in the past
Oh, we won't give in
Let's go living in the past
Oh no, no we won't give in
Let's go living in the past.'

When I first heard him talking in a documentary, a bit more than a while ago. I could not believe how eloquent and posh sounding he was. Got taken in by the scruffy look.
 
Not yet, but this evening :
Led Zeppelin - Celebration Day Global Watch Party
Led Zeppelin has partnered with YouTube for a special streaming event of Celebration Day Saturday, May 30, at 8PM GMT | 3PM ET | 12PM PST.

 
The Foo Fighters - nice and shouty - they rock but - remain totally positive - needs high volume - eleven - hence why I am listening with ear buds - my neighbours are good - but not that good - at this time of night. Don't take the piss - a song for our times - 'Times Like These'

'I am a one way motorway
I'm the one that drives away
Then follows you back home
I am a street light shining
I'm a wild light blinding bright
Burning off alone
It's times like these you learn to live again
It's times like these you give and give again
It's times like these you learn to love again
It's times like these time and time again
I am a new day rising
I'm a brand new sky
To hang the stars upon tonight
I am a little divided
Do I stay or run away
And leave it all behind?
It's times like these you learn to live again
It's times like these you give and give again
It's times like these you learn to love again
It's times like these time and time again
It's times like these you learn to live again
It's times like these you give and give again
It's times like…'



Which leads inevitably onto Nirvana -

'I'm so happy because today
I've found my friends
They're in my head
I'm so ugly, but that's okay, 'cause so are you
We've broken our mirrors
Sunday morning is everyday for all I care
And I'm not scared
Light my candles in a daze
'Cause I've found god
Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah
I'm so lonely but that's okay I shaved my head
And I'm not sad
And just maybe I'm to blame for all I've heard
But I'm not sure
I'm so excited, I can't wait to meet you there
But I don't care
I'm so horny but that's okay
My will is good
Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah
I like it, I'm not gonna crack
I miss you, I'm not gonna crack
I love you, I'm not gonna crack
I killed you, I'm not gonna crack
I like it, I'm not gonna crack
I miss you, I'm not gonna crack
I love you,…'


Few do shouty better than Nirvana - I.
