Sounds of My Inner Suburbs

A Flock of Seagulls, singing, wishing ( If I Had A Photograph Of You )
Blondie, reply with "Union City Blue"

City Boy, ringing 5.7.0.5.
Deep Purple, rocking with "Smoke On The Water Live"

Eagles, living " Life In The Fast Lane"
Foreigner, playing the instrumental "Tramontane"

Gerry Rafferty, walking down "Baker Street"
Heart, are just "Crazy On You" rocking sweet

Inxs, with their "Afterglow"
Journey's, " Don't Stop Believin'" under the Bay Bridge flows

Kansas, singing "Carry On Wayward Son"
Lynyrd Skynyrd's, "Red White And Blue" the patriotic one

Meat Loafs, iconic "Bat Out Of Hell"
Nazareth, toured on their "My White Bicycle"

OMD, with "Enola Gay"
Porcupine Tree, with "Trains" let your air guitar say

Queen, with my favourite "From Father To Son"
Rush, and the "Manhattan Project" that blanked out the sun

Styx's, "Blue Collar Man" one of the best that I have heard
Thin Lizzy, top it with "Don't Believe A Word"

UFO rock with "Doctor Doctor" please
Van Halen's "Eruption" Eddie plays with passionate ease

Wishbone Ash, with their "Blowing Free"
XTC, playing Nigel's XTC

Yes, campaigning "Don't Kill The Whale"
ZZ Top, and "Legs" those legs I'd love to scale



Most of my poetry is written to Music, these are some sounds i listened too, to write this ABC

Hi James, just looking through some of your poems. Love this ABC, what an original idea! Some classic tracks too. Love it! ~ Sharon :) Thanks for all your great comments & lucky you having that blossom tree in your garden. I don't have a garden so I just have to dream :)

James, what a discography you've unleashed here. Well done my friend. I'd be willing to bet you could come up with an ABC on 27 all time AXE men. It's too late here tonight but I'm gonna be rocking the house tomorrow. All the best. JT
