Just trying to think of suitable songs to play while sailing in a storm. Number 1 for me would be Chumbawumba - Tub Thumping: 'I get knocked down, but I get up again, you ain't ever going keep me down."

Anyone else got a suggestion?

They call it Stormy Monday
But Tuesday's just as bad.
They call it Stormy Monday
But Tuesday's just as bad.
Lord, and Wednesday's worse
And Thursday's all so bad.

The eagle flies on Friday,
Saturday I go out to play.
The eagle flies on Friday,
Saturday I go out to play.
Sunday I go to church,
Gonna kneel down and pray.

Lord have mercy,
Lord have mercy on me.
Lord have mercy,
Lord have mercy on me.
Though I'm tryin' and tryin' to find my baby,
Won't someone please send her home to me.

got in before me on the T-Bone Walker song. good suggestion!

My other favourite would be:
Hideaway - Eric Clapton version on the John Mayall and the Bluesbreakers album is really good
Voodoo Chile - Jimi Hendrix or Stevie Ray Vaughan
Serpent's Tooth - Miles Davis

But then nobody ever agrees with me on music, so probably best to ignore me!

Don't pay the ferryman (till he gets you to the other side) can't remember the group but cracking rock song!

p.s. always used to have a copy of "ride of the Valkyries" no lyrics but vaguely appropriate when things got hairy!

Finlandia - Sibelius..

and Don't Look Back (if you're running before) John Lee Hooker

Before the Deluge - Christy Moore

1) Something from the "Heavy Weather" album by Weather Report, probably the upbeat "Birdland".
2) Something cloying and full of self-pity from one of the early Phil Collins solo albums to remind you that - however bad the storm gets - you aren't as miserable as him.
3) "When the going gets tough, the tough get going" - Billy Ocean.
