These tracks are perfect examples of what I once considered "Real Rock"... tunes after first hearing them (admittedly, I was around 11 years old at the time)

Radio Stations played most of these at some stage as did request shows. Perfect nostalgic listening and hey, it's not unthinkable now that we're all dads that we could roll up the sleeves of our pastel blazers, wear some loafers (a cardigan/jumper loosely draped over the shoulders is optional) and maybe put some shades on too!

You might even own a yacht and play these at wine parties on board - perfectly safe, listenable-to music - the odd ballad, the odd guitar. Are they really 'rock' though... I'll leave that up to you!
