True though isn't it. Don't make 'em like they used to.

How about this for an absolute rip-snorting classic.

Kraftwerk - Tour De France

Matt . Even this is a remix of the original version !!!!

Ask any music historian and they will give Kraftwerk as the most influential group ever. Without them there wouldn't have been early 1980's groups like OMD, Depeche Mode, Human League and then the explosion of house/acid/rave scene late 80's (groups like Prodigy/Altern-8/Shamen etc).

Another Teutonic classic

Indeedy, the 6 minute original is very good too....but i like that version the most i think. Very clear and to the point, and catchy as hell.

Agreed. Sadly we are now an R&B chav nation and the charts reflect that. I'd prefer to go back in time and choose something that caused pandemonium in the past rather that a ripple today.

Bought a good triple CD the other day -NME classics - from 1970's R&R - early 80 - scar -kraftwerk etc - Manchester scene - brit pop.

im gonna go on record here and embarrass myself with my musical taste, feel free to ridicule .

on the road slotting for me it has to be pure 80s pop gold, i dont need to mention artists ,just imagine everything and everyone on one massive now 80s type of compilation, its just my era and i can associate certain tracks to certain playing bandits/growing up times etc,, in fact i cant imagine much ridicule /arguments on this front

now this is where the ridicule/pisstake will start

when i get home from the busy hectic days slotting, nothing winds me down and relaxes me more than ,,,,,,, wait for it ,, movie themes etc, (there ive said it,)
(waits for verbal kicking ) big epic movie themes, no low budget shit, just john williams, jerry goldsmith, ,,,,, jurasic park, superman star wars, etc ,,,,,,,,,, dances with wolves ,,titanic etc, old western themes by whasisname ennio moricony or summutlikethat,,,1 of my all time faves is the soundtrack to a robert deniro/james woods movie called once upon a time in america,, and of course the epic james bond themes ,,, plus a lot of tv themes like airwolf, a team, etc ,
my all time fave piece of music ever is still john williams superman

ok ive probably said too much, and i know ive opend the floodgates for a huge verbal slaging off piss take, but i cant be the only one who loves this type of stuf can i???

please be gentle

ops:

Peter Shelley, Buzzcocks. Wrote theme especially for C4s Tour De France. Prefer it to Kraftwerk song of same name. Concise posting. No eye bleeds with this one.
