Queensday Canal Cruise 2006 Soundtrack

To each their own, but to my ears there is a serious lack of good 'ol Rock N' Roll on the canals during Queensday, and in Amsterdam in general for that matter.

Seein's how we have plenty of time before the cruise goes down. How's about we get a consensus of good rock n' roll tunes for the ride. I'll take care of getting them together on disc, backups included.

Figure the cruise lasts a good couple of hours so there's plenty of room for suggestions. Here's a few ideas to get us rollin'.

AC/DC - Highway To Hell
Black Crowes - Remedy
Led Zeppelin - Rock N' Roll
Rolling Stones - It's Only Rock N' Roll
ZZ Top - La Grange

Come on now people, I know there are some great ideas out there?!!

 

Well if we are goin good old classic rock, off the top of my head at 3am I'd suggest some of the following:


"LITTLE WING....AN ABSOLUTE MUST!!!!" "Machine Gun" "All Along The Watchtower" "Voodoo Child" "ANYTHING HENDRIX "

"Can't You Hear Me Knockin" Rolling Stones
"Black Betty" Ram Jam
"Louie Louie" Kingsmen
"Magic Carpet Ride" Steppenwolf
"Sultans of Swing" Dire Straits
"Panama" "Jayne's Cryin" "You Really Got Me" Van Halen
"Come On Lets Go" Richie Valens
"Girl You Really Got Me Going" "All Day And All Of The Night" The Kinks
"I Wanna Rock n Roll All Night" Kiss
"Walk" Pantera
"Rock The Cradle Of Love" "White Wedding" Billy Idol
"Are You Gonna Go My Way" "Let Love Rule" Lenny Kravitz
"Thunderstruck" "You Shook Me All Night Long" ACDC
"Corduroy" Pearljam
"Fell In Love With A Girl" "Seven Nation Army" White Stripes
"Barracuda" "Magic Man" Heart
"Hard To Handle" Black Crows
"White Room" "Sunshine of Your Love" "Crossroads" Cream
"Born on the Bayou" CCR
"China Grove" Doobie Brothers
"Come Together" "Get Back" "Twist and Shout" The Beatles
"ANYTHING STEVIE RAY VAUGHN"
"ANYTHING PINK FLOYD"
"ANYTHING DOORS"

 

Hey Cats,


Here are some of my sugestions for tunes:

BB King and U2, "When love comes to town"
Neil Young, "Rockin' in the Free World"
The Motels, "Mission of Mercy"
The Rolling Stones, "Bitch"
Thin Lizzy, "Jail Break"
Talking Heads, "Life during War Times"

Might be a little funky if smack in the middle of the mix you wail into a little Tom Jones, "It's not unusual" We can all tear off our cloths and show off our disgusting Piggy American bodies.

Then again Mopperm1 will no doubt snap pictures to post all over the internet...

Cool

 

Almost forgot the Reggae, gotta have it, and it's definitely Rock N' Roll compatible.

Bob Marley - Could You Be Loved
Peter Tosh - Legalize It

And some more Zz Tops........... Cheap Sunglasses. We can only hope that we'll be needin' 'em.

mopperm1? SinPusher? Where you guys at?!!

 

ya know ictricity, I had most of these tunes listed by everyone on the cruise last year....but here's some of my favs that would sound good on the daytripper

fat bottomed girls/we will rock you
bag on my drums
magic carper ride
gimme three steps
jane says-live
china grove
baba o'riley
1 bourbon, 1 scotch and 1 beer
ramblin man
jammin


any ac/dc, floyd, skynyrd, SRV, marley, queen, little feat, clapton, stones, bowie......

 

and don't forget the j giels

 

I had no clue? By all means, if you've got those discs from last year, bring them. I remember you saying you had some but they never got played did they?

Either way, I'll get these together and between yours and mine we'll both stay on their asses to get and keep them to Rockin'!

Great ideas thus far guys!

 

Here's the updated version of what I've got together so far. If you see something that needs to be added, deleted or just plain doesn't fit, let me know. More Reggae? More or Less Hard Rock? You call it.

I tried to keep tunes under 5 minutes, not repeating bands (some are exceptions), while keepin' things upbeat. We can agree on a running order later.

What J. Geils tune was that you wanted mopperm1?

The cruises last approximately 2.5-3 hours so we've got room for more or less in terms of this list. (3) 70min discs basically. Right now it's running about 2.5 hours.

Suggestions? Speak now or forever hold your piece... Hope we can get some more of you members on board, literally.

AC/DC - Back In Black, Highway To Hell

hey James throw in some ted nugent like wango tango or cat scratch and more marley into the mix....I'll bring all those other ones I had from the last trip also for backup jams. free hookers for all!!!......on mikeymike's tab of course LOL

 

Right On mopperm1; See the revised setlist above for the requested additions.

After listening through these tracks a few times now, there is no doubt this is gonna be one fine soundtrack for the cruise of all cruises.

Sure hope we can get some more rockers on board for Queensday.
