Best music for a stormy night passage.

[Victoria Sponge]

On page two and nobodys mentioned anything by Pink Floyd!!!!!

For shame on you.


Anyway I'd start with the whole of Dark Side of the Moon.

Yes, good choice. We've often played it when we've been on The Orwell, after dark.

Pink Floyd; stand by for Galadriel...

Personally I'd go for 'Wish You Were Here', topped off with The Walls' 'Comfortably Numb', surely one of rock's all time classics.

Nice to See Wishbone Ash getting a mention, went to see them in about 1979 and they were excellent.

If only I'd got to see Led Zeppelin...

I saw Wishbone Ash twice in the 70s and once about eight years ago. I saw Led Zeppelin at Leicester Uni, just after Led Zeppelin II was released. Oh the memories.

I must admit on the few occasions I have been out in bad weather I have had too much on my mind to bother with music.

 

[Whiskey Bravo]

Steppenwolf - Born to be Wild

Argent - Hold your Head up

Free - All Right Now

Rolling Stones - Paint it Black

Hawkwind - Silver Machine

The Doors - LA Woman

Led Zeppelin - Whole Lotta Love

Yes, yes, yes plus Freebird & Fairport's Close to the Wind; if things get really rough Steeleye Span's 'Let her go down' and to bring us into the 21st century Lady Gaga's 'Born this way'

 

[Kelpie]

For a brooding, dark night?
Led Zep- Kashmir
Rob DJ- Clubbed to Death
And of course the Das Boot theme

 

[jimi]

Communication Breakdown ... Led Zep ;-)

 

[Victoria Sponge]

Communication Breakdown ... Led Zep ;-)

Yes, good choice brilliant track

 

[christopherc]

Mumford & Son - little lion man
Clash - white man @ hammersmith palais
Johnny Cash - One, repeated at least 5 times
Jimi H, voodoo chile, for the rockers
Nirvana - smells like teen spirit
Stones - Exile on Mainstreet, all of it, or until you can't bear any more
Bob Dylan - obviously 5 believers
Black eyed peas - shut up
Primal Scream - Screamadelica, all of it, no option
Bob Dylan - Like a Rolling Stone
Seasick steve - Dr Jekyll & Mr Hyde
Killers - Mr Brightside
Led Z - Black Dog

Should do the trick

[LeonF]

How about some Wagner?

Ride of the Valkyries?

Or, if things get really bad, Götterdämmerung?

Your in a minority Parsifal, but I'd sail with you ! I sail to Sibelius when I'm in the mood...sometimes I just dance.... with or without music......

 

[TQA]

Lots of good stuff so far and I have just added one from Leadbelly

Black Betty [but I like the Ram Jam version]

and I forgot

In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida Iron Butterfly

 

[nimbusgb]

Golden Earring - Radar Love

 

[snooks]

In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida Iron Butterfly

Is that the 19 min live version???

 

[TQA]

Is that the 19 min live version???

Very much yes - another fan?

 

[Seajet]

Is that the 19 min live version???

If you haven't seen the Simpsons episode when Bart slips this into the hymn list at church ( " ah this sounds a nice pastoral piece, by I. Ron Butterfly; 'In The Garden Of Eden'..." ) you haven't lived !

Here's one I think must be about Macgregor boats;

Are the record companies missing a trick here? With the number of "driving" compilations surely there's space for "The Best Heavy Weather Sailing Album In The World....Ever!".

If Virgin aren't interested maybe Adlard Coles Nautical might be...

 

[LymingtonPugwash]

Put together a compilation for playing in rough weather! It makes the experience of rounding the Horn in stormy conditions a stimulating one with the CD blaring out at high volume.

Sibelius – Finlandia Op.26
Beethoven's 5th symphony
Tchaikovsky’s piano concerto 1, B flat minor
Verdi - Aida - Grand March
Verdi - Nabucco - Chorus of the Hebrew Slaves
Naval Hymn - The Red Army Choir (from Hunt for Red October)!
