Demolition Music…?
C&D Consultancy’s John Woodward has suggested the compilation of a demolition music Top 10.
Demolition News is taking a short hiatus to visit the Glastonbury 2009 festival this weekend, drink too much cider and listen to bands that most people have never even heard of, all while standing in a muddy field wearing a kilt (don’t ask).
To celebrate, our good friend John Woodward at C&D Consultancy, has suggested that we compile a Top 10 (or possibly Top 40) songs that are appropriate for a demolition setting. We immediately came up with “Appetite for Destruction” by Guns n Roses but then equally quickly dismissed it because it is only an album title.
So, we’re throwing this open to readers of Demolition News. To start you off, we are suggesting:
- Tear Your Playhouse Down by Paul Young
- Walls Come Tumblin’ Down by The Style Council
- Waiting For The Hammer To Fall by Queen
- Breaking Down the Walls of Heartache by Johnnie Johnson & Bandwagon (courtesy of John Woodward).
We look forward to receiving your entries.

On a slight tangent;
Judas Priest’s DEMOLITION album included the tracks “Machine Man” and “Devil Digger”, vocals by ‘Ripper’ Owens.

I notice the comments from Arne and he never mentioned a “Genesis” track even though he works for them so I will do it for him.
Also a thought about conservation opposing demolition:-
Don’t touch this-MC Hammer!

Ok Chaps…
This Old House by Shakin’ Stevens. I was really pleased when I came up with Boom, Boom Shake the Room but I see Mr Anthony has already come up with that one.
Oh, and my construction tune would be
‘Build me up Buttercup’ by The Foundations.
