    Taste? (Official Thread)

    I missed this thread. As far as I'm concerned RORY is STILL THE MAN!. Along with Jimi, Johnny Winter, Leslie West, Ritchie Blackmore and Tony McPhee of The Groundhogs. I saw Rory 3-times live in London back in 1988, 1990 & 1991 I always like the written quote about Rory that appeared in Sounds...

    Funny enough I was playing Golden Earring's Moontan cd/album from 1973 and a Best of Golden Earring cd/album from the early 1980s earlier this morning although I haven't heard either cd/albums for about 3 or 4 years since I last heard them both.

    Jeff Lynne's ELO Announce Final Tour: 'Over and Out'

    I bought an extended 'Message To The Country' cd maybe 15-20 years ago and to be honest a part from Ella James (2nd track on the album) that I vaguely recall hearing being played on BBC Radio one possibly back in 1970-71 and was then apparently 'pulled' by EMI I personally find the 'bonus...

    Jeff Lynne's ELO Announce Final Tour: 'Over and Out'

    The first time that I recall hearing ELO or as they were then always called the Electric Light Orchestra was on the OGWT on BBC television performing 10538 Overture back in 1971 I believe. Roy Wood was in the band but the Move (band) was still active featuring both Jeff, Roy and Bev which was a...

    Free (Official Thread)

    Several artist's working in the rock field have covered Wishing Well in the past and none come close to the original Free version. All the 'cover versions' lack that X-factor that makes the original THE BEST!!. I would rate Free's Wishing Well in my all time top 10 rock singles from any era.

    Roxy Music (Official Thread)

    Never much of a fan of Roxy Music although I recall Virginia Plain being in the UK singles chart back in 1972. Having said that I wasn't a fan a couple of Roxy Music songs that I did like and still do like hearing for nostalgia reasons for me of the mid-1970s era are Street Life and a 'B' side...

    Accept (Official Thread)

    I liked the earlier Accept stuff and still play METAL HEART from 1985 occasionally although the more recent stuff from the 2000s is ok I suppose but I still prefer the earlier albums such as RESTLESS AND WILD from 1982 & BALLS TO THE WALL from 1983 myself.

    What Are You Listening To? Redux (No Videos)

    Contrary to what most people and rock music critics back in 1976 thought about 'the movie' I personally LOVE IT and still occasionally watch it and even the individual 'fantasy film sequences' which overall are quite amusing except for 'Bonos' Drag racing fantasy but the other three Page, Plant...

    I Love This Song: “Some Kind of Wonderful”

    I have 2-separate cd box sets of 'The Funk' basically covering all their albums except the Good Singin', Good Playin' album from 1976 which strangely is my favourite 'Funk' album which Frank Zappa produced anyway I know they were VERY POPULAR in the USA during the 1970s and into the 1980s but I...

    Vanilla Fudge! (Official Thread)

    The 'Fudge' were influential on a number of bands during the late 1960s none more so than British band DEEP PURPLE with that guitar/Hammond organ sound with Ritchie Blackmore of Deep Purple admitting in later years that the rest of Deep Purple liked and listened to Vanilla Fudge back in the day...

    *The Wonderful World Of Joe Meek *

    Yeah I thought about that after posting it and I may well have got the financial amount of money the wrong way around?. The financial amount that was awarded to Joe Meek was the 'equivalent' to £3.MILLION POUNDS in 2008 and not in 1967 sorry about that and as for who received the money after Joe...

    What Did You Listen To In The 80's?

    Just re-listening again to and possibly the most enjoyable late 1970s & early 1980s "Heavy Metal band" that rode in on the British NWOBHM phenomenon of 1979-1981 was the French band TRUST. I have nearly all of there cd albums all sung in French (don't let that put you off) that I bought back in...

    *The Wonderful World Of Joe Meek *

    I went and watched the 2008 film about Joe Meek in the Odeon cinema in Holloway Road only up the road from Joe's old recording studio in Holloway Road which was cool. I went and saw that film 3-times that opening week I recall and it's quite a good film especially towards the end when Joe kills...

    *The Wonderful World Of Joe Meek *

    Joe's old north London recording studio in Holloway Road is only down the road from where I live in north London although these days it's above a Indian food shop. A heritage 'blue plaque' is fixed to the brick wall above street level under a first floor window saying something like "Joe Meek...

    WHITESNAKE the double-live album from 1978 & 1980 Hammersmith Odeon. I still like 'the Snakes' FOOL FOR YOUR LOVING which was a top 10 singles hit for them in the UK back in late 1980 In the UK Whitesnake, Rainbow, Gillan along with Thin Lizzy, Judas Priest and Black Sabbath with Ronnie Dio...
