I am listening live.

Ian Gillan made No.9

David Coverdale made No.7

Intrigued by what is to follow!

According to the listeners James Hatfield from Metallica is a better singer than Sammy Hagar!

Montrose have come into the collective via The Who Charlton thread.

Their debut album is a hard rock classic and Sammy’s subsequent solo career in the late 1970s/early 1980s is worth exploring if you like guitar based hard rock with a melody attached.

What a great band they were.

Andy Partridge is now 70.

I really like the BBC coverage.

Watched it since the mid 1980s,

Jack Liwowski to win.

Amazing!

I am studying a short course on how generative AI can create images, text etc.

Today I was introduced to a website called Leonard AI.]

I love a good 1980/90s power ballad.

Classic Rock have just posted their top 40. I agree with about 60% of these.

Open Arms by Journey is the all time power ballad for me.

Anything missing from the list?

The Final Cut for me.

Up there with Ordinary World as Duran Duran’s great reprise hit.

A few good tunes but for me the voice is annoying.

Why is he so revered?

A run of great five albums from Crime of the Century to Famous last words.

They left one of their best till last with the final track on Famous Last Words IMHO.

It doesn’t get more AW than this!

My other half and my daughter were interested in attending this.

Went through the usual pre-booking website stuff.

Got a code that allowed them a ticket for £661 each.

FFS for Taylor Swift!

For that price I would buy a ticket for the next Who concert but to expect a meet a greet and a pint.

Post what you feel you need to apologise about.

Crap bands or albums you recommended with hindsight are not that good…or other things.

Mine is obvious!

I will start with Lies by Camel from the 1980 Nude album.

A true classic.

A truly great underestimated album.

One of the top 10 1990s for me.

Released on June 2nd.

A nicely grilled cheddar cheese on toast with Worcester Sauce added for the last 30 seconds does it for me.

I haven’t listen to Bob since the 1990’s …my loss!

Has he ever been fully discussed/appreciated here?

I love Blondie!
