Lemmy's Planet Rock Picks

I'm currently listening to Lemmy on Planet Rock, the home of rock radio. Here are his choices for the My Planet Rocks show: -
  • The Beatles - Slow Down, She was Just Seventeen
  • MC5 - Human Being Lawnmower
Lemmy was one of the artists who supplied vocals when the 3 surviving members of MC5 performed a reunion concert at the 100 Club in London in 2003.
  • The Rolling Stones - Route 66 - Live
  • Hendrix - Love or Confusion
Lemmy roadied for Hendrix for 8 months, just before he joined Hawkwind, allegedly he used to score acid for the guitar maestro.
  • The Who - Summertime Blues
  • The Ramones - I Want To Be Sedated
Another band Lemmy's performed with, not to mention R.A.M.O.N.E.S.



  • The Sex Pistols - Anarchy In the UK
  • The Damned - Neat neat neat
  • Led Zeppelin - Black Dog
Good choices !

Life On Mars Soundtrack

Am I mad, in a coma, or have I just been listening to the Life On Mars Original Soundtrack CD. Most excellent. Not surprising really as the picking ground for material, the 70's, has been identified as the best decade for popular music. My only criticism of it is the lack of any Hawkwind , not that I'm biased, especially as the show has featured Brainstorm , Silver Machine , Urban Guerrilla , Ejection and You Shouldn't Do That over its two seasons. Still there's always the potential for a second soundtrack album at some stage in the future and plenty of material still to chose from.

Collecting the albums has been a long strange trip through the annals of rock history and taken me through classics by the likes of Sabbath, AC/DC and Deep Purple to Scandinavian Death Metal. Yes the choices are debateable but the book is a great way of discovering some wonderful music to headbang like a maniac to. It's got some notable omisions too, in particular a certain Black Country band who most would argue are the greatest rock and roll band of all timel and who cast a giant blimp shaped shaddow over the genre. In addition to the 100 albums I've also listed the other albums by the bands concerned that the book says are worth getting, so if any of
