We’re up to quite literally the final straight – this is the last song of the compilation, I’m sure you’re glad to know! I’d forgotten about this hence the gap between now and the middle of September when I last posted one of these! If you think back to part two in this series, I [...]

This is a heartfelt one, it has found it’s way onto my car stereo numerous times on the way back from a particularly arduous away trip from time to time. It’s an emotional ballad-esque tribute to a homecoming back to the City Ground, but it feels more amusing when you’re literally ‘on the road’ to [...]

This song will either have you misty-eyed with nostalgia, or trembling with embarrassment at the memories of it being piped out of the PA system at the City Ground as the team took to the field. Given the ‘retirement’ of Sherwood the Bear, and the introduction of the new Robin Hood based mascot, it becomes [...]

We’re entering the realms of synth-and-sample driven excitement as we go on our merry way to reach the seventeenth track on this godforsaken compact disc. It reminds me of the kind of music you’d get on old Amiga games, with piano-type riffs with a non-descript instrument weaving a spiralling tune, along with obligatory samples – [...]

I’m belligerently determined to finish this series of mostly godawful music that Nottingham Forest have inspired through the years – and this latest one, the first I’ve posted since May, is inspired by perhaps the most inspirational figure we’ve known as fans since a certain green-sweatshirted manager. Ladies and gentlemen, I refer of course to [...]

I feel robbed and cheated of what was supposed to be the crowning glory of this particular avenue of blog posts. This was the triumphant song that I was going to post to aid our celebrating the build up of a trip to Wembley, as such, it is now posted with bitterness and disappointment given [...]

Moving swiftly on, we’re up to fourteen on the list of decidedly dodgy Forest music. This track is provided to us by Geoff Blott and ‘the Nottingham boys‘ and certainly has a more interesting sound to it than many of the tracks we’ve seen before in this little series. If there was to be a [...]

Thirteen is unlucky for many reasons, and it certainly is in the case of this track. It’s by none other than Justin Fashanu. Justin of course is a sad story in football, he was largely considered a massively poor signing by the great man Brian Clough, a costly error indeed. A £1m costly error. He [...]

Right you lucky people, having just about recovered from the excitement of the weekend, it’s about time we had another one of these babies to cheer you up! Our good friend from an earlier track, Njaal Helle, is back to serenade us – and this time, rather than Forest being his Rock and Roll, this [...]

Barrow Red has at least been waiting patiently for this one, and he was right – it is a decent one! It’s quite simple in composition, starting with a bit of clapping followed by a childish shout of ‘Forest’, but once it kicks in it’s quite catchy in it’s simplicity, and it’s something I’m planning [...]
