    What Is Your Interpretation Of This Bob Marley Song?

    The narrative appears to conflate the plot of Easy Rider with the arrest of Robert Marlin for the murder of Sheriff John Brown in Jamaica in 1973. With regard to the meaning, the arrest of Marley in the first person for a murder he did not commit, could be a metaphor for the discrimination of...

    Best version of 'Summertime'

    I am not a Fun Boy Three fan by any stretch of the imagination (they were part of a ska/bluebeat revival) but I like this arrangement: qeCa8NOcqXg&feature=player_detailpage

    I haven't heard this in ages !

    I still love The Rattles' The Witch and it was one of the first hard rock singles that I remember hearing (along with Frijid Pink's House of the Rising Sun): WKd8zm-q6OM

    I haven't heard this in ages !

    We had to sing Puff the Magic Dragon - it wasn't a hardship as I liked the song at the time. I also prefer the cover versions of Dylan's songs; Rod Stewart's Forever Young stayed in my head for ages.

    I need more tracks like this one [dire straits you and your friend]

    LNXncglnsZg I would say their own Love Over Gold (Private Investigations), or David Gilmour's playing on Pink Floyd's Wish You Were Here and the first four Santana albums.

    This is Lindisfarne's first five albums on four discs with extra tracks. I will nver forget seeing the drummer on Top of the Pops playing a bass drum with a fish. That's what you call character!

    I think he means milk with 1% fat, which is fully skimmed.

    Does Anyone Remember M?

    The original version of Cars was released in the late seventies, but the eighties (E-reg) version had a bit more punch.

    Who Is The Most Underated Band, Singer & Guitarist?

    There is a 2013 expanded version of Head Like a Rock (1994) and I'm not sure I don't prefer Crazy Horse with Ian McNabb over Neil Young, although I like them with him too.

    Who Is The Most Underated Band, Singer & Guitarist?

    Icicle Works included Ian McNabb, who is great. Here he is with Crazy Horse. If you haven't heard You Must Be Prepared to Dream you haven't lived. 0Szo3YtB7jQ

    I really like this record. What happened to Christopher Cross? I know he provided backing vocals to Brian Wilson's live comeback, along with Timothy B. Schmidt. 9I-cxF7jZH8 I'd forgotten the Starbuck record, it's quite funky.

    Does Anyone Remember M?

    Ghostbusters has always sounded like a copy of M's Pop Muzik to me.

    Black Sabbath (Official Thread)

    People from Manchester are Mancunian or manc. I don't think Liverpudlians mind the term. The problems come with regional boundaries, for example, Scouses have to be from Merseyside (on the river Mersey), Cockneys within the sound of Bow Bells and Geordies on the river Tyne. They consider people...

    Black Sabbath (Official Thread)

    Scouse is a name for people from Liverpool, Bruce. It's a bit like Cockney for those born in the East End of London, Geordie from Tyne Side and Brummie from Birmingham.

    Musical disapointment of 2013...

    ^ Loner always makes me laugh. It's the line, "He'll be happy when he's dead."

    Musical disapointment of 2013...

    I don't think Steve Hillage ever had a settled band, being backed by Gong, Utopia and various others. On Phoenix Rising, I understand Rovo to be the band, with Hillage on guitar and Miquette Giraudy on associated bleeps and burbles.

    I was never a big Slade fan, but I liked them when they became Americanised. Sadly it didn't last long. Radio Wall of Sound is one of the best things they ever did and it came when the band was really over. Apparently, it was virtually a Jim Lea solo track and the band thought it was weak. It...

    Talking of surprisingly good, I had never heard of Klaus Schubert, but he can play guitar and his list of lead singers is like a who's who, including Joe Lynn Turner, Doogie White and Tony Martin. Biff Byford gives some of the best performances of his life, so if you are a Saxon fan, you should...
