Heard none of them, so post 'em up and I'll let you know what I think.
Is Simon Finn anything to Tim?

I edited them into the post. Also I don't think they're related but Simon is involved with Current 93 if you're familiar with them.

When you say "Classic Songs" what immediately comes to mind for me are old R&B and Golden Oldies of the 50s and 60s. However if you want to use the broadest definition and the widest umbrella for "Classic Songs" then I will include anything, any genre, whether the song made the charts or not. I am a fan of a bunch of stuff that doesn't make it into the charts. I have plenty of songs I could mention regardless what anyone thinks it has earned its "Classic" status. It's all relative anyway for this forum at this point.
  1. The Ink Spots - Slap That Bass
  2. Louis Jordan and the Tympany Five - Beans and Cornbread
  3. Chuck Berry - Come On
  4. The Cadillacs - Speedoo
  5. Bo Diddley - Road Runner
  6. Slim Harpo - Shake Your Hips
  7. Wilson Picket - A Land of a Thousand Dances
To keep track of songs I posted for MarieMarie I made her a playlist. I'll do the same for you. It's entirely up to you if you want to use it or not.

I'm not a fan of sixties or fifties music, rockabilly and what not, so be prepared. But I'll listen to them.

Title: “Tell Me What You Want”
Artist: Zebra
Taken from: Zebra
Genre: Hard Rock
Year: 1983
Suggested by: Plankton
Familiarity: Zebra-o, I mean zero
Comments: Great punchy rocker in the mould of the likes of Asia or Whitesnake, lots of power, great pumping melodies, great singer… just great all over. Bring on those stripey horses!
Rating: 10/10
Resultant interest in album: 100%
Resultant interest in artist: 100%

Title: “Whos Behind the Door”
Artist: Zebra
Taken from: Zebra
Genre: Hard Rock
Year: 1983
Suggested by: Plankton
Familiarity: As above
Comments: I read that Zebra started doing covers of, among others, Yes, and it shows in this track. Almost an acoustic opening, very laid-back, reminds me a little of “I’ve Seen All Good People” or something similar. Kicks up nicely then, but the vocal is much more restrained than in the other of their tracks I just listened to. Nice versatility in the vocal. In the video they kind of do The Verve and also recreate the end scene from The Seventh Seal. Sort of. Another great track. You know me so well, man!

Title: “Slap That Bass”
Artist: The Ink Spots
Taken from: Swing High Swing Low
Genre: Vocal Jazz/ Doo-wop
Year: 194?
Suggested by: Neapolitan
Familiarity: Zero, thought I’ve heard of them
Comments: Oh god, this is the kind of bland drivel I hate. That close-harmony singing reminds me more of radio ads for soap or something, and it’s so limp and weak. Slap that bass? More like tip it and run away? Sorry but I hated that.
