Thanks be to Jesus there is one song I don't know....

I was nearly starting to que for Garret Brooks........

Nice songs in small doses, but you can see why Punk found an Audience.

Apparently, people in Nashville still weep at the thought that ZZ Top didn't embrace Country Music



(except the one at the end, ironically his name is Frank Beard)

I always thought Willie was very scruffy looking.....

(sounds an ominous comment but you know what I mean)

Ol' Donie

Spent a summer in South Carolina a few years back. I can't hear country music without remembering the roadside diners, even at 6am on the way back from the bar!

ZZ Top always remind me of MTUSA.....

I always thought he was "getting carrots and lettuce from people I don't even know..."

Not a patch on the pet shop boys.

Always on my Mind is one of my favourite songs.

Willie sang it best, IMO.
then the Pet Shop Boys, then Elvis

I remember once hearing a lad singing about a "Grimestone Cowboy".....

HeidiHeidi

Ah Dolly, good and all as you are, you'll never out-belt poor Whitney (RIP)!

There's Dolly's chest Harry....

Aren't you a big fan??...:)

Ladies and Gentlemen...Country' Frank Beard!

Tom Dunne, off Something Happens and Newstalk, does a good version of Rhinestone Cowboy if you ask him nicely.

Not a whole lot of the king on BBC4.

Fella even managed to make Phil Coulter seem amazing.

I really didn't dig Tom's morning show on Newstalk, but that Parachute song is amazing. Really, really good. Were the rest of Something Happens' tunes any good, anyone know?

I'd say he kisses the mirror in the morning...



My Texas's Ex's......:)

Didn't one of the golfers say "all his Ex's had Rolex's"......
Can't remember his name, the one who smokes the cigars on the course with the Mick Wallace hair?

HeidiHeidi

They had some quality songs -Hello Hello Hello Hello (Petrol), Are you my girl?, Parachute and a few others

They were great live.

They also did a great cover of Boys Boys Boys (Summertime Love)

Edit, here it is

Now we're talking! Only thing better than country is cheesy country.

I remember hearing a song once called "She thinks my tractor's sexy"!

In retrospect, it may have been a euphamism.

Would it beat "I've Got a Brand New Combine Harvester"?
