Need some help with selecting tunes.

Strat HD · 05-27-2010, 05:04 AM

Last weekend I went to a meet put together from a Harley/Biker forum that I hang out at. It is a small forum and we had about 50 members show up. It was a great time meeting everyone, actually it seemed more like a family reunion than a meet.

A planned run was held and we went on a 5 hr. ride on Sat. Then we had a cookout and partied. We had all the campsites reserved at a state park.

A video is being made and members are contributing vids and pics from the meet. I have been asked to select three tunes for the vid. I would say the average age of our members is 42.

So I'm looking for tunes and I gotta say it's tough finding music that is'nt talking about a woman, love or hardship or this or that.

So far I have come up with Travelling man by Seger, I'm no Angel by the Allman Brothers and maybe Top of the World by Van Halen.

Roll me Away by Seger might be good. Just looking for good music that will go with this past event. The commaraderie was great.

Thanks in advance.

Thanks! I'm also looking for a song that will fit with the pics of the party we had. Something that will fit with good times, cammaraderie, ect. So far I have Top of the world. Hopeing I can get more choices than that though

The guy making the vid is very good at it. I plan to use this song for the end credits.

how about 'Radar Love' by Golden Earring? seems rather appropriate.

Deep Purple - Highway Star?

Born to be wild-Steppenwolf, is like the bikers anthem.
Im no angel by Greg Allman is a good choice.
Hells Bells & TNT-AC/DC.
La Grange-ZZ Top.
Flurtin' with Disaster-Molly Hatchet

Rory Gallagher ~ Country Mile

If camaraderie was a big thing, this would be pretty good. "Take a load off... and put the load right on me." Very nostalgic, would be a good closer for such a thing.

Some great suggestions dudes! Man... I'm a huge Band fan. It makes no difference is probly one of my favourite tunes. Highway Star is also a great recomondation also. Man.. I forgot about Rory! Got to see him at the Jersey shore around 1972 right around the time "Live in Europe" came out. Country Mile might be a good tune being that our run was in Kentucky.

Thankyou to all that posted. And all that will soon post. I don't hangout here much but if anyone wants to see the vid when we're done Pm me. I'll be around. Thanks again!!!
