Broken down Angel - Nazareth



DC

Angel Eyes - Roxy Music

one of my favs by Roxy, provided you play the 2:52 single version and not the much slower album version which is about a minute longer

and, more in hope that expectation, the brilliant:

Cave of Angels - Dreadzone from 'Second Light'

did you know that John Peel rated Second Light as one of his top ten albums of all time, he wasn't far out

regardez youse

henri

If Mr. MacLean were here he would ask for

'Angel of the Morning' - P.P. Arnold

As Norrie is absent I'll ask for it on his behalf.






















angelic git

Famous angels are, Michael and Gabriel.

So, The Equals, Michael and the slipper tree.

Or, something from Peter Gabriel.

And for myself

THURSDAY

'Angel from Montgomery' - Bonnie Raitt and/or John Prine


One of my fondest memories is of Bonnie singing this at GRCH, accompanied by Phil Cunningham on accordion. Magical.

.....OK, I stuck my neck out on the previous thread....



Good Souls - Starsailor

laudable sentiments, perfectly expressed and something we should all aspire to, particularly at this time of year....

Paul from Ayr

lazy angel.
Peter Gabriel Sledgehammer He did better, but this one is also good.
George Michael Father Figure
Elton John Daniel
predictable is my middle name.

#4 Rdp - sorry - your shout. Slow typer here!

Great show tonight. It's good to be grumpy every now and then!

Mary Doll, since you're cookinhg i'll have angels on horseback followed by Angel delight.













Butterscotch flavour please!

Angel Fingers / Wizzard (often requested etc etc)

Angel in Blue / J Geils Band (their best song by miles)

Wild Wild angels / Smokie (A guilty pleasure..Chris Norman version not the black lace guy)

just in case we need "Angel" in the title...

Precious Angel - Bob

#9 I hope you're taking a pop because I cannae cope with mixed messages.
Robbie it is, then.

Hold any other request I made for tomorrow, please.
The only one I really want to hear is
Mannfred Mann's Earth Band Angels At My Gate
You don't even have to play it (ain't I big and generous!!), it's just a pending request.

Not at all MD. Grumpy was yesterday. Angelic is today.

Sham 69 - 'Angels with dirty faces'
Angelic Upstarts - 'Teenage Warning'

#1 second that!

Angel Dance - Robert Plant

Waiting on an Angel - Ben Harper -

if anything were the complete opposite of We're All Going to Die, this is it! Great to hear MM though. He's nearly 38 BTW

Say Mama - - Teddy boys who opened for Alex Harvey's comeback gig in 1970

Angel: Sarah Mclachlan

If I recall correctly, written about a fellow musician who played with the band The Smashing Pumkins and suffered a drug overdose.

Surtely if a track can make us think of those once close to us who have passed on, then this is it!

Check out Mr Cheery here!!!

Angel Dream (no2) - Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers from Live Anthology - short & sweet

and now I'm to be tormented all day trying to figure out what song has lines about 'your guardian ange-el'. Help anyone?

I could list a whole show's worth of angel songs - it would be good to hear some of the artists we don't often get.

Angel - Matt Nathanson
Angel - Kevin McDermott Orchestra
Angel - My Life Story
Avenging Angels - Space
City Of Angels - 10000 Maniacs
I'm No Angel - Marcella Detroit
You Remain An Angel - Danny Wilson

Or if we must have the regular artists, these are still great songs

Ordinary Angel - Hue and Cry
Rebel Angel - Eddi Reader
Patience Of Angels - Eddi Reader (or preferably the Boo Hewerdine version)
(The Angels Wanna Wear My) Red Shoes - Elvis Costello
There Must Be An Angel - Eurythmics
Angel Eyes - Wet Wet Wet (OK maybe not a great song, but decent enough)

Now that's the first hour sorted...

Welcome me to the City of Angels - Joan Baez
Feels Like Home - Bonnie Raitt (From 'Michael' a film about an angel)

#18 - Angel, Sarah McLaghlan is a great track.
In fact anything from Wintersong album would be lovley to hear - the voice of an angel!

Angel Eyes, ABBA
Angel is a Centrefold , G.Geils Band
Angel Band, Ralph Stanley

#19 - Gaie - Was it the

There Must Be An Angel (Playing With My Heart) - Annie Lennox


Especially for Glen, Henri & Paolo.

;o)

Hello

Hope you are all well. Sorry I forgot to leave the heating on.

Scotch Git is of course spot on with #3, many thanks.

May I add:

Bob Dylan - Precious Angel

and

Jackson Browne - Too Many Angels

all of these songs would grace the show, as would ElspethsDaddy's list.

Cheers


Brrrr

ps due to being frozen I have been unable to open my case to get the presents yet, sorry Glen.

Heart of an Angel - The Jeff Healey Band

#23 no, farid not. It's not in the title, that's the problem.

#27 Jeff Healey's time is coming on GIO, oh yes it is!

'fraid. frozen fingers.

Angelic Alternatives:

* Eddie Reader - Patience of Angels
Which is what most of us are having to have with the weather right now. I've been stuck at home all week, with the kids, trying to get some work done...

* Fleetwood Mac - Angel
* Oysterband - Angels of the River
* Weezer - Earth Angel

But most of all, the most wonderful
* The Stanley Brothers - Angel Band
from the O Brother Where Art Thou? soundtrack. I learned this song from a Readers Digest compilation my parents had, so when it popped up on the closing credits, I sang along at full volume. Given that I was on a transatlantic flight at the time, it garnered me some odd looks. But totally worth it.

#22

Angel is a Centerfold is a great track. I particularly like the Hayseed Dixie cover (just called 'Centerfold').

#26 welcome home Norrie

You've not missed much when you've been away...............

one for mary-doll (unless she's a Robbie fan):

Angels - The Baseballs

And one for

A kind thought. Luckily I will be with the angelic Nicola Benedetti tonight.

#26

I hope the cold hasn't affected the glue.

#32 DC that is very kind of you...no point trawling back to see how nice you have all been to each other and the GIO Team then? ;o)

#37 Glen I fear the worst............

Tide no clean bit

Notice elite band

How did you know there was an elite band in the hairpiece? It plays The Promise to you on rotation straight through the skull....superb!

Dont mean to sound Scroogelike but "Angel"songs are usually so sentimental they make me want to wreck a christmas tree.Came up with three very different angel songs though.Laurie Anderson is about as sentimental as Ivan the Terrible so I love her song (and album)"Strange Angels"Secondly,Aretha Franklin's "Angel",what can you say,stunning,and lastly a wee song I first heard in a Wim Wenders "roadmovie"Until The End of the World"boring movie ,great soundtrack including Nick Cave,U2 and a haunting little song almost whispered by Jane Siberry and kd lang caled "Calling All Angels".Bryan,you're an "Angel"if you can find this beauty!thanks Willie Bartke

Are you sure it's not an alice band?

I was saying when you were away how much I liked The Promise - it's up there with his best.

That's great Glen. Not sure I agree with you but pleased you are enjoying it so much.

It's also really nice to see so many new bloggers.

Please please please can we hear Iris by The Goo Goo Dolls from City of Angels soundtrack?

Just a great track....least you can do team if we have to endure Robbie....

Happy Thursday everyone

Mazzy*

Got it!

Number One Friend - The Silencers


'Cause I would love to be
Your Guardian Angel
Yes I would love to be
Your number one friend
Uh huh huh

#24 Just as well its angelic day Senga. It's the thought that counts :-)

#31 If you havenn't heard Angel in Blue, check it out. J Geils Band go all laid back. Methinks it's their besrt song.

#34 Top Tune Gaie but you know and I know it's a 50/1 shot! (PS have a wee word with Senga will you.)


Welcome back Norrie, How good are those JCB diggers of yours?

'Devil In Disguise' - Elvis ... "You look like an angel".

Now gold JCB paolo!!

#47, when I read your first post Gaie I thought you might be thinking about...

Guardian Angel - Mink De Ville

This is a really great one too, well worth hearing!

As an antidote to Robbie, can we please have

Angel of death - Slayer

DC

(in the process of cooking two curries which involves two legs of lamb, 3 bags of spinach, two bulbs of garlic, 18 green chillies, 14 chicken breasts and a pound of butter)

True by the way!

Ted ban nice toil

Really kind of you to invite us all to tea, DC, but could you maybe not have waited till the weather improved? Or is Norrie taking us?

Oi! Ian! DC been telt!
