Could it be....?

[themidnightgirl]

A, of band and Bridge fame, bought The Best Air Guitar Album In The World III. This led us, obviously, into discussing what would be on

The Most Generic Rock Compilation In The World Ever!!

Thus far, I have

Bachman Turner Overdrive - You Ain't Seen Nothing Yet
Boston - More Than A Feeling
Rainbow - Since You've Been Gone
Foreigner - I Wanna Know What Love Is
John Parr - St. Elmo's Fire
John Farnham - You're The Voice
Mr Mister - Broken Wings
Heart - These Dreams
Cutting Crew - I Just Died In Your Arms Tonight
Scorpions - Winds Of Change
Europe - The Final Countdown
Toto - Africa
REO Speedwagon - Keep On Loving You
Starship - We Built This City
Survivor - Eye Of The Tiger
Marillion - Kayleigh

Now i need your suggestions - remember, this is the Most Generic...it doesn't get on if it's just you not liking it. And it doesn't not get on if you do like it...

[crocodilewings.livejournal.com]

Are you defining "generic" as unassuming or unspectacular in this instance?

I had a brief does-not-compute moment when writing my first reply to this, which went off into a discussion on the nature of averages, definitive forms, human beauty and socioeconomic statistical misrepresentation, and it was probably more interesting than this one, but wholely tangential.

Blah.

[borusa.livejournal.com]

I think more...un-ground-breaking, crowd pleasing, perhaps formulaic, and cheap.

Queen - Bohemian Rhapsody
Whitesnake - Here I Go Again
Metallica - Enter Sandman
Iron Maiden - Number of the Beast
Gun - Word Up
Black Sabbath - Paranoid

Van Halen - Jump

[davywavy.livejournal.com]

[sherbetsaucers.livejournal.com]

Queen: We Will Rock You

Alice Cooper: Poison

Damn... I'm curently listening to Fraggle Rock and all the ideas I had just vanished. I'll get back to ya.

[karohemd.livejournal.com]

As its supposed to be generic:
Bryan Adams - Summer of '69
Bruce Springsteen - Born In the U.S.A (as it's misunderstood)
Aerosmith - Love in an Elevator
Warrant - Cherry Pie
Cheap Trick - Once Bitten Twice Shy
Guns 'n' Roses - Sweet Child o' Mine

more when I have the time

[karohemd.livejournal.com]

Ram Jam - Black Betty
Fleetwood Mac or Santana - Black Magic Woman
Doobie Brothers - Long Train Running

[raggedyman.livejournal.com]

sounds more like "Best AOR Album in the world ever" but thats just me

Radar Love by Gold Earing?

[psychichazard.livejournal.com]

generic (but lovely):
thin lizzy: the boys are back in town/whisky in the jar?

did anyone mention freebird?

joan jett: i love rock 'n roll

[karohemd.livejournal.com]

Freebird is too long, at least the Molly Hatchet version. When I saw them live about 12 years ago, it was at least 15 minutes long. ;o)

Lynyrd Skynyrd - Sweet Home Alabame would fit.

[davywavy.livejournal.com]

Kiss - Crazy, Crazy nights.

Arnos Grove

[jorj-x.livejournal.com]

Hey Rbs,

Was pissing around at work killing time until lunch when I found you at Arnos grove in www.londonbloggers.co.uk. you moved up to London from reading?

Re: Arnos Grove

[borusa.livejournal.com]

Short answer : Yes. It's where my Dad lives, and where I grew up.

[hairyears.livejournal.com]

No Hendrix on the lists?

Asked Nile, who saw a comment on a friend's LJ and followed it here.

[gypseymission.livejournal.com]

My (late) suggestions would be

STYX - Babe
Twisted Sister - Were not gonna Take it
Motley Cru - Shout at the Devil
Foreigner - Waiting for a girl like you.

BTW Nice to find you again after all these years. I gather you had a fab weekend with Chris and Helen. Hope to see you soon.

Nice to find you again after all these years
Indeed! I was a bit shocked when Chris mentioned that he'd shared a house with you. It all felt very small worldy.
