Title: Ultimate Best Show Playlist?
Post by: gjblizzard on December 20, 2013, 09:51:20 AM
After listening to the final Best Show on Tuesday, I thought it would be nice to have an Ultimate Best Show mix of staple and meaningful songs Tom played throughout the Best Show. A few that come to mind immediately would be:

Thank You - Led Zeppelin
The Ballad of El Goodo - Big Star
Action & Blockbuster - The Sweet
Bad Company - Bad Company
Gimme Gimme Gimme - Black Flag
Aimee & Ted's farewell song

Suggestions?

Anything from the Faces and Abba box sets.

Lots of songs from the Show itself - many here - https://soundcloud.com/tedleo/sets/bestshowforlife (https://soundcloud.com/tedleo/sets/bestshowforlife)

Run (Instrumental) - by Ghostface - Ghostface Killah - Run (Instrumental) (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P9nzQ5GyYkg#)  and/or the Trans Am bed music


On the other hand, some songs are key to the show that you may not want to listen to...

Young Girl - Gary Puckett and the Union Gap
Porcupine Pie - Neil Diamond
Love Gun/Dr Love/ lots of nonsense choices - Kiss
