A selection of side-long or notable longer tracks from across Roy's career; which is your personal favourite or would you like to see him finish a gig with?

Right now, "Me and my Woman" I was just playing that and thinking about that song yesterday.

"Me and my woman" - my favourite longer track by Roy. I actually think his shorter tracks often hit the target better, overall.

I would say "The Same Old Rock" beats them all, but from this list "Me and My Woman" followed by "McGoohan's Blues".

Those all are awesome, maybe Me & My Woman is his best song, but on the other hand I think Lifemask is as great album as Stormcock, also not yet any votes to great "the Lords Prayer", so it´s my choise this time.

Hard to choose among these great pieces of music. My vote goes to "The Lords Prayer", for very personal reasons, but all have their own charm.

I could have chosen any of the 4 tracks on Stormcock but did the lazy thing and went for M&MW; I feel a vote for that track is a vote for the Stormcock lp in general

I agree; some his shortest, simplest songs such as '12 hours of sunset', 'another day' and 'unknown soldier' have the most direct, emotional impact.. maybe that can be a poll all of its own

Me and My Woman
Check out the live version on 'Flashes from the Archives of Oblivion'. Wonderful! |

 and I just love the side made up of 'Highway blues' and 'One man rock n roll band' and all the looped madness, acid guitar and crazy stoned story! |

From that list 'Woman'....but there are songs on his other albums that resonate more with me.

Hi,
I don't know ... I feel like choosing one painting by Picasso, one piece of music by Beethoven or Mozart, or one chapter from Hemingway ... you get the point. I love them all dearly, and can not make up my mind which one I like better. Sorry, to not play top ten favorites, but an artist is an artist ... and Roy is living proof of one of the best.

Music is not just for listening ... it is for LIVING ... you got to feel it to know what's it about! Not being told!
