Hawkfall commented on the post, MPs call for Black Sabbath to be honoured. They have written to the Queen! 2 days, 18 hours ago
To be fair, Her Majesty, could write back to the MPs and enquire politely but regally why, if the city of Birmingham are so proud of Sabbath’s contribution to music, this has not extended much beyond naming a park […]

I love Queen, they’re one of my favourite acts. Of course, admitting to loving Queen is considered beyond the pale in music fan communities, but I like to think we’re a more inclusive and toler*****AFTERWORD […]

Mamma mia, that’s fantastic, although a point off for going with Light My Fire instead of Knock on Wood for Amii Stewart.
I didn’t know there was a 12″ version of Turn the Beat Around. Great stuff.

That’s an excellent compilation that captures the 1979 charts as I remember them. Extra points for Wanted by The Dooleys, the best ABBA song not by ABBA.
It’s interesting that Don’t Stop Me Now kicks it all […]

You could have a Bob Seger double bill and play Thin Lizzy’s live version of Rosalie. Single from 1978’s Live & Dangerous.
I am determined to swamp your playlist with uncool stuff. How about Only You Can Rock […]

If you’re open to Less Cool, then I suggest you go the whole way and have something from the Least Cool of All. Spread Your Wings is that relative rarity, a Queen single that flopped, only reaching No. 34 in […]

Anyone about to read Ulysses may want to avoid listening to The Sensual World by Kate Bush as it gives away the ending.

Moose, it wouldn’t surprise me if the Korean equivalent of Sergeant Hartman looks like the Rio album cover. Or Desire from The Sandman comics.

There’s a very good Bob Stanley-curated compilation on Ace records about the summer of 76.

I approve of Highway 61 Revisited as Salt & Vinegar, but Under the Red Sky as Sweet Chilli is madness.

Before this annoyingly likeable recent bunch came along, I used to refer to the England men’s team as BAWBAGS.

In Good Omens by Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett, there was a running joke that any cassette left long enough in a car would turn into Queen’s Greatest Hits.
In the 90s I’m pretty sure every car I got a lift in […]

I’ve seen it described as “experimental”, Jay. I think the hypothesis being tested was “Bob Dylan cannot write a novel”.

One thing he may not have is Tarantula, the novel that Dylan published in the 60s. I reckon you could pick up the original hardback within your budget.
Caveat Emptor: it’s rubbish, but it is part of his works, […]

ABBA on their mid 70s Aussie tour. The one that’s on ABBA: The Movie. Apart from the Sydney show where it pissed down. What shows. What a tour.
Then, any show from Queen’s 1975 and 76 Japanese tours. The best […]
