What a voice ! Blues and Rock combined ? I mentioned to somebody recently that Shooting Star is great track by Bad Company. He said its a tribute to Paul Kossoff a founder member of Free. Didn't know that.

Didn’t know that either. I thought it was tribute to Hendrix ad others

Have you got any of their other stuff BBR? This album was their first were they strayed away from their normal heavy sound, and went a bit experimental. Supermassive was lambasted by many fans at the time for heading towards an R&B sound. I thought it was ok. Their couple of albums after that got a bit more experimental but their most recent album, Drones, is a return to their bombastic past.

If you've not seen them live, you need to do so...in an Arena as opposed to a festival. I've seen them about 9 times across festivals and arenas and they put on such an amazing visual spectacular, you'd be amazed. When I have a bit more time, I'll try and post a video or two that I took when I saw them at the O2 last year. Stunning.

Drones is an absolute peach of an album. The drones tour (seen them in Brum last year) was a great show too. Seen them at download a couple of years ago too when they were headlining on the Saturday.
 
Muse and Foo fighters-can't really choose between the two at the minute for best live.
Going back a bit-Big Country would do the business aswell until Stuart Adamson died.
 
I’ve only seen the Foos once Adge and that was at V Festival. Muse are immense live though, you’re right. Probably the best live act I’ve seen.

Yo La Tengo: "Friday I'm in Love"
 
I’ve been listening to a lot of 6 Music recently and have just downloaded a couple of tracks they’ve been playing recently.

Pulsar by a band called Ride. Their bass player Andy Bell was in Oasis, Beady Eye and Hurricane #1. This track is quite strong and forceful...I like it.

And the other one is by a new band called Invisible Minds and is called Yo Mae Leh. It’s quite a mellow-ey, drifty type of song. Like it. Get involved.

Fire and Water favourite ever album. I too never saw Free, but have seen Bad Company. Never tire of hearing Alright Now !

My missus is a huge fan of Bad English (John Waite lead vocals). They never did a lot, and never really achieved the dizzy heights of the charts, but she has everything they did.
 
I was in HMV yesterday and at the till there were a few CDs on sale. Best Of Fleetwood Mac. I sold my Rumours album so haven't got any of their music. Anyway I bought it and it's great to hear their classic tracks again.
 
I bought a few CD's off Music Magpie the other day for the car.

Currently playing the Cigarettes and Alcohol album which is basically 40 different indie songs, Stone Roses, OCS, The LA's etc.

Just don't sell any to Music Magpie! They will offer you peanuts for really good albums. I'm talking literally pennies! Robbers! I'd rather give mine away to a charity shop!

And don't sell classic albums to a mate. Like I did with Rumours on vinyl !
 
The original and best version. Starring Linzi Drew and directed by Ken Russell. I first saw this video on the James Whale show, recorded it then forgot all about it for a whole year. Rediscovered it just after a friend died and it brought tears to my eyes. You'll see why if you watch it through to the end:

The Temper Trap........Thick As Thieves.

Lindsey Buckingham Christine McVie...........from the Fleetwood Mac duo. The album has no name, just their names.
 
Muse - Origin of Symmetry.

I'm surprised I haven't worn the CD out, I've had the same disc for nearly 17 years now.

Perfect Circle - discography.

On repeat in the car at the moment.
 
Not what you'd call hard rock but keep playing best of Fleetwood Mac. And my lad got me Concrete And Gold by Foo Fighters and the track La Di Da has been played twenty times at least since Boxing Day !

One of the original shoegazing bands. I recently got into them too, alongside Slowdive. One criticism of Ride is that they couldn't decide what kind of band they wanted to be and seemed to follow trends - every album sounds different - changing to be like what was popular at the time.

Been playing a lot of Cocteau Twins this last month. Loved that band ever since 'Treasure' in 1984. Frighteningly brilliant. Can't see them ever being dislodged from my list of all time top 5 favourites.

Played Treasure in the car a lot when my eldest was small. She used to keep saying that she wanted the Hocky Docky song. It took us a while to figure out she meant Domino.



One of my favourite albums. I recall that This Mortal Coil released "It'll End in Tears" featuring Liz Fraser around the same time - love 4AD.

Nice one. I’ll need to listen to them a bit more I reckon.

The Mortal Coil collection introduced (to me at least) some great artists. 4AD - What a label.
 

Joan Baez and her late sister harmonize on a Bolivian folk song recorded in Sing Sing.
* Joan has Mexican/Scottish heritage.

Ride are ace.
 
They've just played the track Inside by Stiltskin on Planet Rock. What a great record that was, they broke up not long after I think ? Shame bet they could of become a big band.

That was a great song BBR. Wasn't on a Levis ad around the time it was released?

Same as Spaceman by Babylon Zoo. Another decent track from around that time from jeans ads.
 
Fast Eddie Clarke of Motorhead has passed away aged 67.They're doing a tribute on Planet Rock on now. He was in the original line up.
 
Just treated myself in a Bell Green charity shop to 3 CDs and a football book. Simple Minds : Glittering Prize. Stereophonics : Best Of titled : Decade In The Sun. And a compilation CD 25 tracks. 79 pence each.
The football book is called : The Golden Age, black and white pictures etc covering football from 1900 to 1985.
A bargain at a quid as its in excellent nick. As a collector of memorabilia its a great addition. The shop is currently full of cracking stuff !
 
Listened to Belfast Child by Simple Minds again,first time for years. Brought back memories of seeing them perform the song in the 90's at Milton Keynes Bowl. The arena was packed but it became hushed when they started singing it and was a highlight of a great concert.
