I only knew him from Yes Minister, brilliant show, and coincidentally, I ordered the box set from Amazon only yesterday.

Many years ago mate of mine bought me K.D.Lang’s excellent ‘Shadowland’ as a gift partly because of the cool B+W cover. I reciprocated for his B-day by buying Robert Forsters ‘Danger In The Past’ entirely because […]

Thanks for taking the time and effort LoW.

51 for me – nearly all 20th century and some of those I wouldn’t rate highly.
Surprised to see only one Joni Mitchell album in the top 100, and at 84. You have to get to 661 to find the mighty Hejira.

Brought two of my girls to ‘Little Women’ on Thursday – we thought it was lovely. Greta Gerwig is proving herself to be a fine director and the cast should win any ensemble awards going…

Watched ST3 and Afterlife – both very good. Loved The Crown – surprised that it doesn’t feature. Watched The Two Popes the other night – not too demanding and good performances from Hopkins and Pryce. Despite […]

I tentatively put this in my top 10 of the year. I played it again yesterday and it’s still fine, beautifully produced, with interesting guest musicians and influences – Mrs. Max, however, hated every minute of it […]

Yep – a pretty consistent set of songs and Tom Chaplin is in good voice.

For once I can provide a full list of twenty. Compared to many, my list is pretty mainstream and dominated by ‘auld fella’s’. Most have been mentioned already, so not too onerous on LoW and Little Gary.

Thanks Moose – TDB is an album I find hard to love, or even care for…

That nasty bitter song ‘Poles Apart’ I presume is about Roger Waters although some say the first verse is about Syd. I’m sure RW is a difficult person to get along with but that song seems to be unduly […]

I didn’t get into double figures- 9 for me and one of those a Kendrick album that I received as a present. I’m aware of another 20 or so…
