I'm afraid the "cheese-factor" of the Moody Blues is sometimes a little too high for me!  :mrgreen: Not that I wholly disdain cheese - looking as I'm doing right now at a 5-CD compilation of Bay City Rollers albums (Edith: "Please listen to those while I'm not around, ok?") while listening to a Mark Farner CD where he has squeezed his Reborn Christian agenda into really every song, not even leaving Some Kind of Wonderful unscathed!

Never better than this...

Note that Fisher (lead guitar) had all the 80's "rock god" moves down a decade early.  But Nancy Wilson still out-rocked him! 

I learned today that the acoustic intro to this is called Silver Wheels, and stands by itself as a famous piece of music. I also learned that the music was inspired by the Moody Blues' "Question" which was a similar guitar-driven rock hit.





 The locals, I saw them quite a few times with the original lineup and later on as well. The husband of one of my ex wife's girlfriend worked for Heart as a drum roadie, back when I had the '69 Caddie we picked him and Denny Carmassi up from Boeing field when they came home off tour.

Why did you break up with Nancy?

It's been ages since these guys have done anything ...

If known in the US, then - other than their early Roger Dean sleeves -



probably for this here, which was a while ago:





London-based, they were/are an interesting mix of West-African and Caribbean musicians.

This week I seem to be diving into shoegaze a bit. Started with this
https://youtu.be/OBxJGg6cjqk?list=PLYwfYGziz-_15VN407Ap_NerzwokcUGdX

And then took a tour through some Jesus & Mary Chain and confirmed yeah I still don't really like that band for some reason ...
but ended up here, never really listened to Ride before but I am liking them quite a bit.

A (psychedelic) Brit Popper amongst our ranks!

Ride would sometimes invite a meanwhile late Hammond player to their sessions ...





He should of course be recognizable to you, especially on the second track.

The Vintage Caravan.
A cool little band from Iceland.
They have a new album out and released several great videos to promote it.

They remind me a bit of Tim Christensen / Dizzy Mizz Lizzy

Impeccable. Or for Budgie fans: impeckable.

You know what Robbie Robertson and Ritchie Blackmore have in common? Not much  :mrgreen:, but certainly an ignorance for the fact that the respective bands they left for their solo careers were already the best imaginable platforms for their art.

It amazes me to this day that Robertson hardly sang a song with The Band, given that he was their chief songwriter. His voice isn't great, but certainly good enough for a few tracks. But then he faced stiff vocal competition in The Band from Manuel, Helm and Danko plus must have harbored self-realisation that his songs would be even better sung by them.

 Me, still not growing up! 

I love this! Don't care if it's four chords - it makes me sproingky

A highly original outfit.  :mrgreen:  Music courtesy of The Cult, image taken from these guys here ...



Nothing wrong with four chords though (especially if the magnificent Sales Bros are your rhythm section) ...



... but Iggy invented himself.

Those guys were so awesome ...



It went straight over the public's head, but I saw them live and was mesmerized. It was the cutting-edgiest hard rock I ever saw.

I loved Tin Machine. Wish I had seen them live.

Loved them too.
My sister was/is a huge Bowie fan. She didn’t really appreciate the Hard Rock that her younger brother listened to.
And I didn’t really care for Bowie in those days.
But suddenly there was this great album that we both loved. I was shocked that she digged this heavy music. Just because Bowie sang on it.

It dawned on me that it was mainly the high pitched vocals that (lots of) people hate about Hard Rock.
