#3 #7

I have kept a dignified silence in this matter today...


But like most of the towns residents... i fully support the groups stance in this matter...

As for painting the town ... thats the thing thats gets to us .. the opposite side of the road to Beirut is all freshly painted and looking tickety boo...

We do hope the cooncilors are having a meeting tonight , but.....

Thin Lizzy - Emerald

Neil Diamond - Dry Your eyes, written with Robbie Robertson, the Last Waltz version is superb

Danny Wilson - Rubys Golden Wedding, I think it is Lester Bowie playing trumpet

Shawn Colvin - Diamond In The Rough

#13

Check out Emerald City Sequence ~ Richard Pryor... pure SuperBadd!

#2

Indeed! If I may be so bold;

'Diamonds and Rust' - Joan Baez with Mary Chapin Carpenter ~ supporting MadMac

I have consulted Mr. MacLean, who feels that this version (from the album 'Ring Them Bells') is definitive. Who am I to argue?

That said, the song has been requested several times on the blog. Any version would be good to hear.

#18

Aye, collaboration is good!

#20 I back up SG and Madmac, a tremendous song and this version is fantastic.

Pearl Jam --- Alive

#20 yep, me too

'Little Darlin' - The Diamonds (listen to it and you'll instantly recognise it)

'Our Day Will Come' - Ruby and The Romantics

Can I second MD's Dreaming of you (#14) and also suggest:

Have a little faith - Jewel
I should have known better - Jim Diamond
Captain of a shipwreck - Neil Diamond (from 12 songs)
Leavin' on a jet plane - John Denver

and if eligible: Pearls on a string - Ryan Adams.

Joe
Linlithgow

I almost forgot

Are You Satisfied? - Marina and The Diamonds

yes, I am - from a great album, this deserves to be heard.

henri

Haw Gaie, you been taking photies o' wee burdz for the Herald?

DC

#24 - yes to Jim Diamond " I should have known better" and suggest

The Crystals "Da Doo Ron Ron"

#26 Er, yes.

Diamonds on the Inside - Ben Harper

Brian Matthew played a great track on Saturday morning by a band I had never heard of, it was really good:

Turquoise - Woodstock

I am assured that Turquoise is a semi-prtecious stone! They only ever release two singles.

#28 thought so. Nice erm... sparrows

DC

Her eyes they shone like diamonds
I thought her the queen of the land
And her hair it hung over her shoulder
Tied up with a black velvet band

Ach it's something different!

Tuesday:

Shine on you crazy Diamond (Parts I - IX) - Pink Floyd, all 25 minutes 54 seconds please.

Think of the benefits:

Grayytt music

You get numerous cups of tea without being interrupted

Sorted

DC

#30 wee robin. Ask Paul from Ayr. And there was only one. You been drinking?

Diamond Ring - Rab Noakes
Blue Diamond - Van Morrison
Black Diamond Bay - Bob Dylan

or, if you want to get away from the obvious gems,

I love Rock & Roll - Joan Jett and the Blackhearts

DC

#32 You could send in a cake as well. Tea, cake, comfort break and Pink Floyd. Sorted.

I have been unable to locate a suitable Morrissey song for this theme.

#33 naw, work tomorrow.

I saw the photo earlier on today and couldn't recall which bird it was!

#35 "suitable" and "Morrisey" just don't quite sound right together...................


;-0

#33 & 36, had a quick scan thru the online version but cannae see it, if you say it's a robin Gaie, then redbreast it is!

The Days of Pearly Spencer - Marc Almond
Bennie & the Jets - Elton John
Diamond Life - Sade

Paul from Ayr

Obviously a big +1 on #32

Clearly everyone else has a deeper knowledge of precious/semi-precious stones than I do, and I can't find a match for Tourmaline, so

* Cocteau Twins - Pearly Dewdrops Drops

Mebbes more later.

Ah gwan then - let's do the obvious ones (stones, not necessarily songs):

* Nicole Kidman - Sparkling Diamonds
That's the Diamonds Are a Girl's Best Friend cover from Moulin Rouge. And while we're at it:
* Beck - Diamond Dogs
Also from the Moulin Rouge OST
* Fairport Convention - Jack O'Diamonds
* Dick Gaughan - Ruby Tuesday
* Tom Waits - Ruby's Arms
* Howard Jones - Pearl in the Shell
* They Might Be Giants - Sapphire Bullets of Pure Love
Good luck to anyone looking for an alternative Sapphire... and similarly:
* The Detroit Emeralds - Dance School

+1 on Benny & the Jets - the live version from the MTV Unplugged album if you have it

#55 hahaha - well it all becomes clear - if you paid attention to what you were doing instead of playing to the gallery, there'd be less mess!

#43 haha Paolo, after my non-credit for Neil Young last night i'll do anything for a mention!
Not sure what I was thinking of but the Captain probably guessed it.

Hi

I texted asking for the Saffire (sorry, wrong spelling on text) Uppity Blues Women - great blues, perhaps not easy to get nowadays. Love them.
