This IS Spinal Tap. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ysCA0cRXFLo

Replying to MC Escher (I was expecting that to be inserted automatically).
I have to agree with you. I never saw any comparison to pub rock, but I detested most of them, especially Kilburn and The Highroads. One […]

Drugs are a terrible thing children. Look what they can do to you. It sounds more of less how I remember him at Knebworth, seemingly playing a different song to the rest of the band throughout the entire set. […]

Surely nobody has ever created a solo worse than Mick Ronson’s on She Shook Me Cold? Except perhaps Mick Ronson’s Spinal Tap-esque effort on the live Ziggy concert film version of Moonage Daydream. That one is as […]

I thought the whole point of Genesis was that they were the polar opposite of godawful American ‘rawk’, so that any bits of tasteless flash and wibble were always going to be as unwanted as chilli sauce in a condom.

Yes, I’ve seen it, after it was pointed out to me on another forum. I do get fed up with all these people making fun of my name. I wish my parents had been more thoughtful.

I suspect he probably has a genetic condition known as ‘uncombable hair syndrome’, making it almost impossible to style it in any way without resorting to huge amounts of gel or similar (I suspect like Ken Dodd […]

This is a real gem, althhough I’ve absolutely no idea how I found out about it. Perhaps even on here.

Blimey – and I thought The Road To Red surely had to be taking tedium to a new level, listenable only to fans who leave the autism scale several fields behind in a crumpled heap. ITCOTKC is an album of its time a […]

I wouldn’t know about Rolling Stone, because the only one I ever bought was a report from some secret marijuana growers’ festival in America (it would all seem so sweet and innocent now). What I do remember […]

So in order to further that experience, has anybody put it on Pirate Bay yet? 😀

I feel that many of the comments, both in the main piece and the subsequent replies, do Peel a huge disservice. His main quality was that he had a genuine hunger for innovative new music and completely ignored the […]

The first one with Pink Floyd was a lifetime highlight, although it wasn’t until they came on that I could really hear anything properly. I was sitting with a group of trainee teachers, including the girl of my […]

Ooh – good one.

Without a doubt, the most dramatic one was the Island sampler called Nice Enough To Eat. As a long-term Beatles fan I’d just started buying Melody Maker and beginning to hear aout all these […]

retropath2 said, “Am slowly drinking more “tea”, preferably the ones without any actual tea in them”,

That was enough to provoke a reply. 😀 For the past few weeks I’ve hardly been able to step outside wit […]

I’m quite sure the ‘world’s scariest granny’ look is quite deliberate – probably two fingers up to anybody who suggests he should make himself more marketable. What seems so strange to me is how he really d […]

I would have thought that 21st Century Schizoid Man stands up far better than the title track. I could never understand what on earth possessed them to include that ridiculously pretentious wibble-fest throughout […]

You’ll really love this then 😀

I really think they should have found an excuse to include the live version of Billy Porter by Terry and the Idiots, from the film DOA.

I thought I might get into trouble on here if I voiced my feelings about The Who, but thankfully it seems I’m not alone. The best Who album is always going to be one that has all their chart singles on it, ending […]
