jippers Posted February 20, 2005 Report Share Posted February 20, 2005 Hi Guys, I want to put a CD together for my dad, who's a mad hobby fisherman and a big music fan. I want to collect a CD worth of songs on the subject of boats, fishing, sailing whatever. Here's a few that I have thought of so far: Fanfare for the common man - Emerson Lake and Palmer (this will open the CD as it triggers memories of an old TV boating from the 80's which used this as the theme music) Cool Change - Little River Band And It Stoned Me - Van Morrison Sailing - Chrisopher Cross Sailing - Rod Stewart Sail Away - Dobie Gray The Downeaster Alexa - Billy Joel The Whale - Fielding & Dyer If "Singing The Dolphin Through" by Manfred Mann's Earth Band wasn't such a crap song I'd use that, so no suggestions for that one please (and before you go off at me all you MMEB fans, I'm a fan too - I just don't like that song ok?) Any suggestions would be welcome. Thanx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carl Posted February 21, 2005 Report Share Posted February 21, 2005 "Brandy" by The Looking Glass has a definite maritime feel. I recently learned that Billy Joel is really into boats, and there are nautical references all over his songs, especially the Storm Front album. Also: Fisherman's Blues - The Waterboys Octopus's Garden - some British group, their name is an insect or something There's a Fleetwood Mac song called The Bermuda Triangle, but that might be a bad idea.
