The man...


way before my time... 



Hey Joe was released about 8 months before I was born


I wasn't yet conceived whn woodstock was on... & if we'd started in he seventies I'd have to be linking Saturday Night Live and Grease which I listened to tho was way to young to see either movie whn they were first released

The song which for me embodies everything evil about most music in the 80s:

 
From 'White Rabbit' to this excrement. What the f**k was Grace Slick thinking?

My mother actually wept when she saw her beloved Lovejoy snarling "c**t" and "cocksucker" left right and centre. Never got past one episode of Deadwood. Maybe I'll send her a dvd of Sexy Beast for her birthday.

James Brown - Living in America  (with lots of Rocky movie footage in there)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oHqUipinDyw

Earth Wind and Fire - Lets Groove
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_XOY7lsBVpo

Chaka Khan - Feel For You
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FR7EUTC_UwE

Average White Band - Pick Up The Pieces.. from the Scottish funky side of the tracks!
...actually that was the 70's, but had to slip that in there too.

I loved Deadwood and wish they'd continued it. I do remember him in Lovejoy and was surprised at how little he had seemed to age between the two. Must be a great actor cause he totally owned both roles... the dodgy charmer & the sociapathic saloon owner

That Petrol Emotion! Quite possibly one of the best live bands I have ever had the pleasure to watch. Marvellous. They're back together again so it'll be interesting to hear how they sound these days.

Apparently I'm apathetic, but I couldn't care less.

Coil-the Snow -not bad at all -
Severed Heads -Dead Eyes Opened -
 
the spoken word relates to this:


That severed heads reminds me of game arcade music lol (which isn't a good thing) & the video cracked me up cause the dancing is so tragic - reminds me of this http://www.urban75.com/dance/rave01.html

I quite like spoken word music but have now been reminded that in the 80's I was a huge fan od Peter greenaway's weird movies that always had Michael Nyman doing the soundtracks... Drowning by number, Zed & two noughts, cook the theif the wife and his lover etc

Redged I love that Chaka Khan and your Average White Band made me get my groove on

I think this is late 70'2 or early 80's and made me get my groove on at ACDC which normally wdn't have been my cup of tea. but damm this song is sex on a stick

Yeah, I know what you mean. Although, Bon Scott sings it WAAAAAAYYYYYYYY better than Brian Johnson could ever dream of (in my humble opinion!)

Holy crap thats a big crowd and man they were all so scrawny. lol thats the one thing I noticed at Wgtn's ACDC concert... Angus Young might be a mean machine on guitar but man he's got zero arm muscle... no biceps or triceps so god knows what keeps him going

Around 60 fags a day, gallons of tea and no alcohol is what keeps Angus going. That, and his very tall Dutch wife

Slade was not kitsch in the 70s thank you very much!
 
That's the trouble with you young ones - no perspective.
 
Next thing you'll be telling me that Gary Glitter (Rock 'n Roll; Hello, It's Good to be Back) is a peado.

You're damn right!

Slade were a great working class rock 'n' roll band.



Slade - Coz I Luv You

Slade had six UK Number 1 singles and 21 UK Top 20 singles between 1971 and 1984. Their first 17 singles all went into the Top 20 in the UK!

Slade were as big an influence on Oasis as the Beatles, a fact acknowledged by Noel Gallagher in John Robb's The North Will Rise Again: Manchester Music City 1976 - 1996. Although Slade never really made it in the States they were a big influence on bands like Kiss and Cheap Trick. And of course Quiet Riot had two big hits in the States with Slade covers Cum On Feel The Noize and Mama Weer All Crazee Now
