Thirty One Rock Songs

I’ve done it. Probably too late, but why should that bother me, everything I do is late. Anyway, it is coming up to the end of the year and what kind of blog would this be if I didn’t produce some kind of top ten list?

For those with short memories, back in November Mr Buck asked me for a list of thirty one rock songs. I asked for help and the contributions, well, dribbled in. From the comments on that post I have taken the first eight tracks in my list. The others are all my own work. The only limitation I placed on myself was a maximum of one track per artist. I cheated a bit with Ben Folds (solo vs group), Marillion (first and second vocalists) and Francis Dunnery (because I can), but other than that there are some cracking tunes. Enjoy;
