Rock On by David Essex
“Am reliably informed by my girlfriend that this used to be played as an intro to early Verve shows. Easy to see why with that doubled bass riff and Ashcroft-anticipating vocal delivery.”

A seminal song in rockitude This song rocks on Pump it up
eat that bass up with a spoon
Every now & then I'll hear a track & think..."How the f*ck did they write that?"
This one & 'Firestarter' by The Prodigy are two that immediately come to mind. Self penned by 70's teen idol & all round cheeky chappie David Essex, I've loved this homage to 50's Rock 'n Roll and recommend that you listen to it on headphones for the full effect.
