Yeah I liked that. Ian Anderson has a surprisingly attractive voice, as if to give the lie to his rather outrageous stage persona.

Here is something else from the early seventies - Wishbone Ash having fun experimenting with twin lead guitars

Another 'blast from the past', Strawbs with Lay Down:

Apparently they are still touring, and in Bristol in february.

It's been a while since I've posted but agreed, agreed agreed!

Now I've got a soundtrack for the end of Taking Woodstock.

Can you imagine what would have resulted from a Hendrix-Clinton colabo?

I'm a huge Funkadelic fan.......so Yes!

Scaramunga · « **Reply #254 on:** December 23, 2011, 09:48:21 AM »

I've heard songs by Beefheart that sound a lot like Funkadelic, so I've wanted to find an album that could suck me in.........but I've yet to find one - they are all a bit hittymissy if you know what I mean?

By far my favourite Funcadelic song is this:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UXxs4vE4-oA&feature=youtube_gdata_player

It's one of those songs that inexplicably makes me grin and the hairs stand up on my arm. Now you've reminded me that I need to replace all my Funkadelic, Bootsy and Parliament vinyl.......this is going to get expensive.

Oh well........it's worth it:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZsXGatB7Q38&feature=youtube_gdata_player

Thinking about Bootsy, I still hav'nt replaced my James Brown collection. The last time I checked, some of my favourite albums were going for £70 on CD - I really need to find some more work

We're fucked, Abu.We can't even agree about music, you pick a band that played at Woodstock and it's Ten Years After, I can't even begin to comprehend that anyone would want to hear that a second time. We might get there though, this isn't from Woodstock but it should have been

Whoa.

I've still got the original LP stashed somewhere in the garage. For me and my mates at around 16 years old, it kind of set the laconic irreverant tone for our outlook on life.

You had to go and ruin 2011 by mentioning David Essex.

Every New Year should start with this:

If it's wrong to force Rico Rodriguez on the world, I'm guilty as charged

Happy new year!!!

I cannot wait to see what new music the world has to offer. If it starts with anything as good as Aloe Blacc's 2011 album it should be great.

As a long-term fan of Tom Waits I'd like to recommend his new album Bad as Me - and for the faint-hearted it is probably his most accessible release for years.

In a world filled with drive-thru pop, it's great to see real musicianship is alive and well. How many bands have the talent to record for their album in front of a live audience? Amazing!!!

Just finished watching the pretty forgettable 'Henry's Crime' (hard to believe it was the same director as 44" Chest). Aside from a pretty good turn by James Caan the only redeeming factor was an absolutely superb soundtrack supplied mostly by Sharon Jones, The Dap Kings, Fall On Your Sword and The Budos Band:

yes, and this insight illuminates something profound about humanness - diversity. Developing diversity and adaptability has been key to our success. I rather think that if we all had very narrow musical tastes, then we would not be here at all.

Scaramunga · « **Reply #273 on:** January 15, 2012, 12:53:29 PM »

I suppose that would make me an evolutionary dead end

I can't fully relax or enjoy myself in the pub until I've loaded the jukebox with my choice of music. I can't go to a gig or a club unless the music is to my taste........and when it comes to things like karaoke and x-factor that so many people enjoy - forget about it!

A lot of my friends find that attitude strange (if you love music, then you are supposed to get something out of most genres) especially when they have seen my record collection and think that I have a pretty catholic taste in music. Then again I think they are pretty odd for liking any old plastic fodder promoted on the radio and only buying one or two albums a year.
