Little Green Bag by George Baker.

[rumpelstiltskin]

Not a particular fan of the band but obviously rate Slash as a guitarist,with his band Snakepit 'Good to be Alive' has a great intro,then the wannabee Axl Rose opens his trap and it all goes downhill.:-)

[londonagent]

Great idea for a thread.

Two favourites of mine

The very first tune I thought of.I remember hearing that start up in my yoof and thinking "ooohh...going to like this".I think there was a remix knocking about that was more in keeping with the opening though.
