I think Page/Plant’s No Quarter is my favourite Zep album. Anyone?

I’d take e=mc2 over any Clash song. And I prefer The Style Council to The Jam (although I’m basing that on the singles). Please note that I regularly propose Hot Space as being the best Queen album, so I can’t be trusted.

Evans was slowly brought back from the wilderness via BBC Radio 2. Surely it’s only a matter of time before Chris Moyles gets rehabilitated into the BBC? Drvietime slot anyone?

Obladi Oblada wasn’t a mantra, it was a catchphrase if London-based Nigerian musician Jimmy Scott- Emuakpor, Who McCartney knew.

Jai Guru deva Om from across the universe was a mantra of Lennon’s though.

Whereas I love Wild Life, one of my favourite McCartney albums. Tomorrow is the alternate Yesterday – no artifice, nothing imagined, just Pure Macca.

I am very much looking forward to this. That is all.

That’s true. Scrap that list. Hot Space all the way.

First album: Billy Joel – An Innocent Man
Last Album Bought: Tom Petty – An American Treasure
Desert Island Album: Beatles – Pepper
Last Album Listened To: Arcade Fire – Everything Now
2018 recommendation: […]

Here’s a great McCartney obscurity: Blue Sway.

Well, it’s a direct link to a JPEG on an Amazon image server. That doesn’t work? I’m going to post it in the text here and see what happens…

Boo!

(FWIW I pasted the link into the image box and that’s still what happened. Hence my sadness. And confusion.)

I am saddened and confused that the cover hasn’t appeared in the post itself.

Well they did give us this back in the day (and apparently it will be a bonus track on some versions of the CD)

I’m partial to this AdamS Christmas tune.

Good Times really was/is a great record. Coming after Pool It! and Just Us, two terrible records, it’s remarkable.

This is quite true.

I’ve long thought that Jeff’n’ELO are missing a bone fide Christmas standard from their repertoire. It’s not too late.
