Ok being an "old guy" means that I have not yet graduated to Spotify on my phone. However, I use music a lot, especially when at the gym.

So bearing that in mind let's see how well you know my taste in music, if you can call it that and guess the tracks that drive the Kilometers.

There are 25 in total, but I'm going to make it a little easier by giving you the bands and a time frame.

Tracks 1 - 5 Band AC/DC all from Back in Black album or earlier

Tracks 6 - 10 Band Guns and Roses all from either Appetite for Destruction or Use your Illusion

Tracks 11 - 14 Band Metallica all from The Black Album or earlier

Tracks 15- 18 Foo Fighters 2 from "In Your Honor" 2 others from Greatest Hits

Tracks 19 - 22 Motorhead all taken from "No Sleep Til Hammersmith*

Tracks 23 - 25 Judas Priest all Halford on vocals one from 2008, one from Defenders of the Faith 1984 and one from British Steel 1980

Much to google I know but there's many wrong choices to be had

Have fun

    Great call on the Motorhead tracks Phil and TNT is also correct for 1 of the AC/DC tracks

    Motorhead's are easier. Most of their best songs were the singles. AC/DC far harder.

    4 to go. How about:-The Jack/High Voltage/Given the Dog a Bone/Rock & Roll Ain't Noise Pollution.

    Back in Black remains 1 of my favourite albums.

    Judas Priest. Simple (but effective) music. Complex characters. Rob Halford-lead singer. Formerly hard-living. Christian. Favourite of certain Biker gangs-and still managed to come out as Gay. Sung with various metal greats-from Sabbath to Pantera, FFDP to Babymetal.

    How about-Breaking the Law (obv), Some Heads are Gonna Roll. Not heard the 2008 album.

    Got to say I’m not a fan of most of the listed bands myself.
    However Metallica do a terrific version of Ecstasy Of Gold. I think it might be an encore piece at gigs?
    Great for getting the pace up if working out.

    Could have been worse.

    Here is their tribute to Brighton, no doubt in homage to SPT Brighton, covering the Anti-Nowhere League classic.
    NB-do not listen if easily offended.

    Please note:no queens, old men, schoolgirls or goats were harmed during the making of this song...

    A quick diversion-apologies.

    The ANL's A-side for "So What" was a surprisingly good cover of "Streets of London"

    a totally different, energised version.

    And, for balance, the gorgeous, haunting version from the incomparable voice that is Sinead O'Connor

    Ok so in that selection of guesses @dragon1964 gets 3 of the 5 G n R tracks with Paradise City, Sweet Child O Mine and Welcome to the Jungle, whilst @Essexphil correctly identified Breaking the Law for one of Priests offerings.

    Good attempt by @pompeynic with Ecstacy of Gold, never seen them use it as anything other than the Bands Intro, you know house lights off, pitch black, track starts crowd sing along, song gets fast house, lights go up, band on stage playing it, mosh pit goes full bore.

    For AC/DC think more Bon than Brian, Foo Fighters were all top 10, G n R one was used in a film and the other starts with a spoken dialogue from a famous Paul Newman film.

    The Metallica ones, sorry I have given you a bum steer regarding the time line. Some tracks post date The Black Album but all are pre 2000.

    The Priest ones are by far the most difficult.

    Good efforts though, thanks for having a bash.

    The Full playlist is as follows;

    Ac/Dc - Shoot to Thrill / TNT / Girls Got Rhythm / Beating Around The Bush / Shot Down in Flames.

    Guns N Roses - Paradise City / Sweet Child O Mine / Welcome To The Jungle / Civil War / You Could Be Mine

    Metallica - One / Fuel / Enter Sandman / Seek and Destroy

    Foo Fighters - All My Life / The Best Of You / Pretender / D.O.A.

    Motorhead - Overkill / Ace of Spades / Bomber / Motorhead

    Judas Priest - Nostradamus / Freewheel Burning / Breaking the Law


    Should really release a compilation and call it "Blood, Sweat and Tinitus"

    My Hardcore HIIT playlist makes this one seem laid back. Be surprised if anyone can even guess at any of the bands on that one.

    Stay well, be safe.
