    1970s Blues/Rock bands

    Both Cactus & Savoy Brown are very nice. I bought a Cactus box set early last year which has about 6-8 cds and I always liked Savoy Brown and back in the early 1990s Decca/Deram re-released all the bands studio albums on cds from Shake Down in 1967 to Savage Return in 1978 which I bought...

    The Cassette Chronicles

    Even until about the late 1990s you could still buy pre-recorded rock cassettes from a vast selection of cassettes of bands in the HMV mega store in Oxford street in London's west end and quite a few were US imports as well I recall cos I bought some of them but by the end of the 1990s HMV...

    The Cassette Chronicles

    I like collecting cassettes mainly by rock bands from the 1970s that were usually released in conjunction with the vinyl album but the minor problem with cassettes is when the 'tape tangles' in the tape cassette player and 'creases the tape' although these days (2026) I basically collect old...

    The Cassette Chronicles

    I recently bought second hand 2-cassettes- 1. Rory Gallagher Live! this cassette was released on Polydor records back in the 1970s along with it's vinyl album counterpart and features live tracks from either Rory Gallagher Live in Europe (1971) & Irish Tour 1974 (1974) and is pretty good...

    Rock movies & documentaries

    Probably will be in a 'class of one' here but I actually 'enjoy' watching LED ZEPPELIN'S THE SONG REMAINS THE SAME movie from 1976 a lot these days although it received 'mixed reviews' back in the day on release and is possibly regarded as a 'duff movie' by some rock fan's and rock critics if...

    40 years on Remembering Philip Parris Lynott

    As far as I'm concerned Phil was and still is a ROCK GOD!!. I once met Eric Bell and Brian Downey together back stage in the dressing room after coming off stage at a 'Lizzy gig' in Sheperds Bush in west London back in October 1993 anyway the bass player was a tall dark skin guy obviously a nod...

    1970s Blues/Rock bands

    The Groundhogs are one of my all time favourite British blues/rock bands of the 1970s & 1980s lead by the late Tony TS McPhee in various incarnations of the band. Favourite Groundhogs albums ALL OF THEM but I particularly like- SCRATCHING THE SURFACE, BLUES OBITORY, THANK CHRIST FOR THE BOMB...

    Mick Abrahams, original Jethro Tull guitarist and founder of blues rock band Blodwyn Pig, died Friday at 82

I have the first Jethro Tull album This Was 1968 that Mick played guitar on and also the two Blodwyn Pig albums Ahead Rings Out 1969 & Getting To This 1970 plus Mick's solo album from 1971 although it is a full band effort with a bass player a...

    Ten Best Rock Albums Of All Time

    Totally dr wu blues/rock although that encompasses bands such as Led Zeppelin in my book especially the first album although many would categorise 'Zeppelin' as a 'heavy rock band' which I still do of course with albums such as IV, Houses of the Holy, Physical Graffiti, & Presence..

    Robin Trower (Official Thread)

    I accidently stumbled across a Robin Trower live radio session cd last Friday (21/11/25) in the HMV store in London's west end which was recorded live in front of an audience from either Seattle or NY cos it's a bit hard to tell from where it actually came from on the cd cover and also what the...

    Cheap Trick (Official Thread)

    Never got into Cheap Trick but the few songs that I've heard of the band sound pretty good anyway the late Rick Derringer covered Need A Little Girl (just like you) back in 1978 which sounds really good to my rock 'n' roll ears!!. :guitar:

    James Gang - Rides Again

    Over here in England where it is always cold and rainy all the time The James Gang cds were at onetime available on USA import back in the mid-1990s and a few years later on the UK BGO reissue label during the early 2000s but since then NOTHING. A few tracks along with some tracks off Joe's...

    What Are You Listening to Now? Pics/Videos

    I don't know I could never really 'get into' the reformed Deep Purple back in 1984 and as for the album Perfect Strangers I have always thought that was a 'contrived' album although a couple of tracks on it aren't to bad such as 'Wasted Sunsets' a Blackmore favourite off the album but overall I...

    UFO (official thread)

    I am not sure to be honest?. I did buy some 1970s & 1980s UFO and some later cds from the late 1990s and possibly a Mogg/Way cd years ago and I especially link the time when Tower Records was at Piccadilly circus in the heart of London back around 1995-2000 before they not long after that closed...

    The Best Prog Rock Song of Each Year Since 1969

    I can't do every year but the really only 'progressive rock band' that I rate was the Dutch band from the 'land of tulips' FOCUS back in the early/mid 1970s although a couple of the guys reformed with two newer guys and they are still going these days anyway for 'progressive rock heaven' try out...

    Ten Best Rock Albums Of All Time

    Not bad 70s Guy but I would change Sabbath's The Mob Rules to Heaven And Hell and also Bon Jovi's New Jersey to Slippery When Wet and 'maybe' Deep Purple's In Rock to Machine Head. On Aerosmith's Live Bootleg it has a song on it towards the end that I don't like and it's maybe a 'reggae song'...

    Hello from Seattle

    Seattle eh?. At least you can visit the grave of JIMI HENDRIX I believe the Hendrix family may have built a large memorial over his grave in recent years??. Personally I preferred the simpler flat stone with an engraved Stratocaster in the stone plus his name JIMI HENDRIX and date 1942-1970 ;)

    Rod Stewart (Official Thread)

    Rod was BIG NEWS in the UK back in the early 1970s cos I lived through it with both the Faces group featuring Ronnie Wood (The Rolling Stones) & Ronnie Lane (The Small Faces) amongst others and his solo stuff running concurrently and scored a MASSIVE HIT with Maggie May which was played all day...

    Overkill (Official Thread)

    I once had a OVERKILL dvd about 10-12 years ago and apart from the vocalist the other main guy in the band appears to the bass player (is it DD?) and I recall him saying he only likes listening to 'extreme heavy music' which is the only thing that I can recall from watching the entire dvd?.

    What was your first concert?

    I rarely go to concerts preferring to just listen to the records although I was tempted out of my flat for the first time back in July 1981 when RAINBOW on their European tour promoting the Difficult To Cure album with Joe Lynn Turner on vocals and of course with 'the man in black' Ritchie...
