Anyone have any favorite songs or anything they want to share for “ship type” songs?
I love “A Salty Dog” by Procol Harum.
“Brandy” is a good one, by Looking Glass.
“Edmund Fitzgeral” By Gordon Lightfoot.
I know I have forgotten some good ones. Anyone else?

Hi
HMMMMMMMMMMMMmmmmmm, , , no one even mentioned “Columbia the Gem of the Ocean”! ! ! ! !
And not least “American Patrol”, now how about also including “Rule Britania”! Of coarse the addition of the Richard Rodgers score does make it an impresive list.
Uh, , , , oh my, , , , “Yellow Submarine” also comes to mind![:D]

Overture to Der Fleigender Hollander (The Flying Dutchman) - Richard Wagner, the father of Heavy Metal).
Damn near makes me seasick!
Theme music from “The Trap” and “Song of the High Seas” - Ron Goodwin. Of course if the subject turns to aircraft then “633 Squadron” and “Aces High” by the same composer.
There was a song called “Brandy” by Looking Glass, or how about “Glass of Champagne” by Sailor (OK, it’s a long shot…).

Oh! And Shakedown Cruise… By Jay Ferguson (I think)… Reminds of when I went up to alaska on a crab boat…
Any Album by “Rush”,any of Beethovens Concertos or Symphonies. Also don’t forget that Kriegsmarine favorite that begins,“We all live in a yellow VII-C”…Regards,Roowalker
One of my favorites is The last farwell by Roger Whiticker, would love to hear just the instrumental, one can just picture the english warship fighting the rough seas…Victory at sea is also a must have. Karl
Some great tunes listed so far but don’t forget the Master and Commander soundtrack and Enya’s Orinoco Flow from her Watermark CD.
As a lover of the Victorian Royal Navy, I have to suggest HMS Pinafore, by Gilbert and Sullivan!

Oh, my favourite has to be Sinead O’Connor’s Jackie O

I never listen to music when I build . I try to find a talk radio station with an interesting topic.
AUCH du lieber!{spell check don’t work well in German!}[:-^]
With my German blood line sagging, I FORGOT! From “the Enemy Below”, “Der Horst Wessel”! Ja!

Ralph, I think I’d prefer to listen to one of those apalling ‘wrap’ singers (is ‘singer’ the correct term here?) all evening than five minutes of talk radio. If radio it has to be then 60/70’s rock will do fine.
