Okay, The Blue Meanie glanced across at his unfeasibly large CD collection, rooted around in his musical memory banks, and this was the result:
Peter Gabriel - Security
(So great I dreamt about this album after hearing it for the first time)
ACDC - Highway to Hell
(The opening bars of Jumping Jack Flash reincarnated as ten propulsive songs about boozing, shagging, more boozing and more shagging. What more could you ask for?)
The Black Crowes - The Southern Harmony & Musical Companion
The Waterboys - Dream Harder
(In 'The return of Jimi Hendrix' the eponymous axe hero is reborn for a single day, playing a series of gigs in legendary Noo Yoik clubs:-
"He made all Manhattan shake
and every street and sidewalk quake
his stratocaster caused the mighty Empire State
to vibrate
his whammy bar caused shock-eyed punks from
Hackensack and Yonkers
raised on speed, metal and rap
to enter trance and levitate
He played Purple Haze and Pyramid,
Voodoo Child and Sin-E,
Up From the Skies and Storm Free
in King Tut's Wah-Wah hut
He did a forty-two minute
cosmic rise in future shocks
Star Spangled Banner
in the back of CBGB's
He stopped every clock in New York state
and every heart that heard him
and time itself was beaten and confused
and fell lamb-like under the spell of his fabulous flashing fingers"
Thin Lizzy - Vagabonds of the Western World

Hey, it was one in the morning and I was under the influence. Plus I am a yank after all. Though I did get in trouble for buying that record when my parents saw the title.
