Once again,from 1972, Eno and Ferry were at least 30 years ahead of their time.

 

Virginia Plain, Roxy Music.

How they made those sounds with that technology beggars belief.

TID, I'm sure they had MOOGs' then, tho' the technology clearly was nowhere near todays' standard. I've see Roxy Music a couple of times and they are fantastic live. Makes me want to listen to "Stranded"

Vive Le Quinte Brigada. God Bless those who faced the Fascists in Spain in 1936 and onwards

And to finish my tribute to Christy and revolutionaries .... I give you Victor Jara.

Listen and weep as one great artist sings about another who was tortured and murdered.

Read the history of Jara and Pinochet - triumph of power and love over hate.

You ever hear black kids?

When you walk through a storm
Hold your head up high
And don't be afraid of the dark

You are clearly a man of excellent taste if you like Roxy and Bowie. Didn't manage to see him 'til 1984, ironically, (track from Diamond Dogs) Do you perchance like The Smiths?????

 

Love The Smiths central, but not in a Deego'esque way !!!!

 

Some of their early stuff is classic music, some tracks and some later attempts at keeping the ball rolling did them a big disservice in my opinion - Suffer Little Children, whilst never played live didn't need the oxygen it got, and to be honest there are one or two tunes on Meat Is Murder I wouldn't be delighted with - but ....... on reflection .......I think that The Queen Is Dead and Strangeways, Here We Come are more accomplished albums than Meat Is Murder and The Smiths.

 

Although, as a young lad in The Cathcart and Janeys, This Charming Man was a standard for us dancing.

 

And amongst my top five lyrics would surely be "I am the son, and the heir, of a shyness that is criminally vulgar".

 

Not sure if that answers your question partner.

 

Morrissey is a cunt...... but he's our cunt !

Apocalyptica - Seek And Destroy

This group is brilliant really talented.

 

Yep, excellent band.

 

Done some great work with guest singers, if they could just get Hetfield to do a tune with them... :D

Brian Wake my Lord, Brian Wake

Brian Wake my Lord, Brian Wake

Brian Wake my Lord, Brian Wake

Oh Lord, Brian Wake

With the help of a couple of bottles of Greenach/Shiraz, in the last couple of hours I have listened to;

The Byrds - So You Want To Be A Rock'N'Roll Star and Have you Seen Her Face.

Foo Fighters - Everlong ( the live version as played at the SSEC and Meadowbank )

Bjork - More to Life Than This ( how appropriate ), Hyperballad and Venus as a Boy

Badly Drawn Boy - You Were Right

Sundays - Folk Song and 24 Hours ( once again for G.G.'s sake, THE most attractive woman in British music )

Ian Brown - F.E.A.R.

Cocteau Twins - Iceblink Luck, Fifty/Fifty Clown and Road, River and Rail ( once again THE most enigmatic Scottish singing voice of her, or any other generation )

I have finished off my evening with The Smiths - Meat is Murder

 

If you don't like any of these song I don't care, That's what having an opinion is all about.

 

"I've seen this happen in other peoples lives,

now it's happening in mine"

 

Some excellent stuff there mate!

 

Liking the Bjork stuff, her early stuff really was great, love There's More To Life Than This. Army of Me was a fcking amazing son eh?
