I assumed Crazy Train was just because of the Ozzy/Birmingham connection.

Shame Ocean Colour Scene support the wrong Birmingham team. I reckon there's a couple of their songs would sound good belted out before a game.

I'm an old fart but I'd have Theme from an Unmade Silent Movie, followed by a rousing chorus of The Bells are Ringing.

I know it'll never happen , but it would make me happy.

I'm not young either but that tune just reminds me of the early 80s at Villa Park, I find it so dull and uninspiring like the team for the majority of the that time. I can hear it now and I can remember the empty worn out stadium, the weekly hammerings and players like Dean Glover, Paul Kerr and David Norton  ::)

I've blanked all that out. It reminds me of the glory years , because of Tony Butler and BRMB.

I understand a lot of Villa fans have fond memories of this song 🙌🏼Just my opinion, I didn’t start having a season ticket until Graham Turner took over.

It's only the vocalist that's a bluenose isn't it? Guitarist and drummer are definitely Villa.

Planet Earth - Duran Duran would be good . Some of them were Villa fans.

This thread shows why we haven't really settled on an anthem!

I actually like Crazy Train! Didn't one of the member of Duran Duran do a villa song? Holte End Hotel?

“Tombstone Shadow” By Creedence Clearwater Revival
If you're going for CCR it's got to be "have you ever seen the rain" That's such a good tune and I experienced belting it out with 25 villa fans in Spain last year. It was absolutely ace.

Craddock and Oscar are Villa, Damon Everton. Foxy’s the only nose.

EDIT: Damon’s left, forgot that.

We tried the latter again, under Houllier or McLeish. We came out to funeral bells and nobody started singing. It was terrible.
