1. The Beatles – songwriting, arrangement, experimentation, instrumentation, ambition, subject matter, image, sound, the works
2. Jimi Hendrix for his way with a guitar
3. Van Morrison’s sense of melody, late 60s […] -

Do you have a theory? I never explored further than what I heard on the Decade album a loooong time ago.

Very fairly put Tigs. I love London Calling, the live album and maybe half of the ‘essential’ stuff, which doesn’t tend to include the early shouty stuff – I think you possibly had to be there and a certain age.

Ah, I had you down as more of a Captain Koons – someone who likes to know his watch is safe.

Possibly not, if you didn’t rate SWA. Prime of Life and Change Your Mind – glorious!

Ditto. It’s all I want to do now. Parenting aside, nothing else matters.

Fascinating. We didn’t really have books at home (does a sole Jeffrey Archer novel count?) and I ran out of inspiration after Agatha Christie. Then at 15 or so my insecurities led me to the local library and […]

Fair enough. Same age as my younger daughter. Was talking to her about it all last night. At some level, the words do go in, even if they don’t entirely believe you.

Some of my favourite NY is on the CSNY 1974 album from a few years back. On the Beach and Time Fades Away in almost perfect sound, with gorgeous guitar weaving from NY and Stills. And those harmonies. Bloody perfect.

Blimey – you figured it out a lot quicker than I did. I concluded that I was unlikeable, thick and a fraud. Like you I felt no pull from alcohol and having succumbed in the intervening years, I’m now back on the […]

For me too Bob. I’ve always affected not to care, but that’s largely a survival instinct. Divorce was always going to be a popularity contest that I was going to lose, but FUCK THEM frankly. Yes the first few […]

Spot on Bingo. Small things, like actually noticing when it isn’t bloody grey and damp, becoming a sleep Nazi, keeping busy (and trying not to get overwhelmed) and the odd spot of exercise have helped hugely. I […]
