Halloweenie Playlist….

[Winslow]

With, or without Max Headroom?

Both!

 

[Shenron]

The whole King Diamond discography?

 

[Dana R Gregory]

How about this one.

 

[boombloom]

Life in the Food Chain was a masterpiece. Too often overlooked....

 

[friskinator]

This is all you need.

 

[PiquetBass]

How about these guys?

 

[groovaholic]

If I could find 3 hours like this, my playlist would be complete…

 

[JC BASS 91]

Pretty much anything by Midnight Syndicate.

 

[OlyWhite]

Let’s have some lips too.
Feel free to yell at the screen when inclined and don’t forget your rice and toast.

Love the bass parts in this song.
I know this is covered in the list in post #9 but I had to link it.

Rocky Horror! Oh geez, I haven’t thought about that movie for a long time. There used to be a theatre in Redlands CA (?) that offered midnight showings of both Rocky Horror and The Song Remains the Same. I went to both of them several times…

Sorry for getting off topic

 

[ELG60]

 

[DanDBassist]

Maybe these two. I didn't notice if they were already listed:

 

[nickpc]

I’m surprised at this late hour no one else has started it…so make some suggestions. However, put on your thinking capes and inject some new blood into the process. That is, enough of “Monster Mash”, that’s tired and obvious. One of my favorites is “Bela Lugosi’s Dead”, but that’s too obvious as well. I’ll start with a few…

Hmm, witch one to choose? How about both…

 

[Ostie]

Tubular Bells —Mike Oldfield
Soundtrack from The Haunting

 

[VoodooJazz]

I’ve always liked Gentle Giant’s “Spooky Boogie”. I just see dancing skeletons my head.

Well, you did, but it was four years ago.

Did my old eyes just not see it, or did you (or anyone else in thread) not mention Michael Jackson's "Thriller"? And another good one from Oingo Boingo that could be Halloween-related is "Weird Science."

How about "The Crypt Jam"? Some slammin' '90s funk right there, courtesy of Chuckii Booker:

No, you didn't miss it, and you're right that I didn't mention it. To be honest, that song - even long before MJ's rep took the severe hits it did - was so played-out, it had lost all novelty, and descended into the realm of gimmicky cliche. I know to some, that's tantamount to blasphemy, but it's simply a case of falling off my radar due to over-saturation, and never coming back.

And another good one from Oingo Boingo that could be Halloween-related is "Weird Science."

Now that is a good one, and if Kelly asked me what I wanted to do first, I'd draw up quite a list!

Big shout out to Broken Peach who I was introduced to several years ago and have covered two of their songs for Halloween gigs. They do some fantastic mashups of some of the classics -
