  1. Added the local Wetherspoon as I'm more likely in there than at home lol (and it is quite close!)
  2. OMD, via Alexa... and being reminded why I went off them big style after about 1984...
  3. The Cult's debut (as The Cult at least lol) "Dreamtime" is my favourite record of all time... have heard it slated by many people including later band members but nothing they've done since comes close for me
  4. One consequence of having played them a couple of times is the realisation the turntable on my 20+ year old Littlewoods catalogue stereo has probably carked it 😞 ... looking at replacements lol
  5. Have recently acquired two different original vinyl versions of it from a mate (at some cost lol) rather excellent!
  6. Joy Division "Closer" or Fields Of The Nephilim "The Nephilim" both have pretty great first sides (for those who remember two sides on the same disc/tape 🙂 ) but second sides that are just on a different planet
  7. Right at this minute a covers band in a pub in Boldmere, not too bad... singer has a remarkable resemblance to Jenna from Blakes 7...!
  8. If I couldn't have Hooky's spot maybe Barry Adamson with Magazine and the Bad Seeds
  9. Having seen Fields Of The Nephilim several times in their heyday it wasn't dissimilar 🙂
  10. Every Guns 'n Roses song would benefit from losing the last three minutes or so
  11. The line "see the blood flow, watching it shed, up above my head" in Maiden's theme tune always sounded to me like DiAnno was singing "see the butler washing dishes..."
  12. Don't know if he still does things like that but Gary Numan turned the odd one out in the early days, I particularly liked this: Asylum - YouTube oh well don't seem able to get the link to work... nice spooky tune anyway
  13. Took me 33 years to discover Quo's "In The Army Now" wasn't actually theirs
  14. Turn On The Bright Lights is probably my favourite record of the 21st century
  15. "Salvation Belongs To Our God" often became "Alsatians Belong..." at our church
  16. Currently living about 500 yards from Mother's in Erdington
  17. Lol as a former soundman for our church band this wasn't unknown on a Sunday morning 😅
  18. Sorry but if PF come on my radio it goes to ClassicFM ... whatever it may be
  19. Just booked my first gig in almost 4 and a half years, When Rivers Meet, Birmingham next month
  20. Very sad...Quo were the first band I really got into, first band I ever saw live, still got more of their stuff than any other band RIP Nuff
  21. Always loved the story about an inebriated Mick Jagger phoning his room in the middle of the night and Charlie getting up, washed and suited up and going to give Jagger a smack in the gob ... RIP Charlie
  22. Being not as familiar with all Zeppelin's catalogue as I perhaps ought to be I have genuinely mistaken Greta van Fleet for them on the radio before now
  23. Must say that on the various occasions I saw AAE (both original and acoustic lineups) if Julianne was feeling nervous it didn't show, wonderful voice and great performer. Felt very happy when she replied to a comment of mine on FB recently 🙂
