I pretty much agree with your approach, the main advantage being the ‘element of surprise’. The only concession I make to any system is that all CDs are stored on shelves according to packaging. So standard […]

I have been trying to think of something witty or profound to say about that clip for over a day now… but have failed miserably. I will therefore just say thanks to Colin for posting it. It was truly fabulous!

Thank you for a fabulous review! I am not sure I will be putting it in my ‘wish list’ however, as I know I will never play it all…. but have since popped Focus 3 in there and will sit on that for a while.

I […]

That’s one of the strange beauties of this site I suppose: you have revived some memories from the recesses of my brain of Bolan’s hippy era [shudders]. The true low point, of course, was the John Peel spoken […]

Roxy Music – July 1972 – Kensington Court Club, Newport, South Wales.

Was it the best concert I ever saw? Who knows! I do know that it was the most memorable though, and therefore the one I would most like to see […]

Eleanor Rigby
Here Comes The Sun

My interest is piqued, but my piggy bank is pretty much just coins, buttons and paper clips. Which one would you recommend if I could stretch to buying just one: S&M or S&M2?

Many thanks for the review. Just as last year’s review of Down to the River made me hesitate indefinitely on buying it, this review of Bless Your Heart has guaranteed that it is already in my Wish List.

But […]

I agree with what Martin Hairnet says about Firth of Forth. It’s got great instrumental bits, but the lyrics were by Adrian Mole I suspect, especially the ‘majestic’ bit.

Then again, when it was released, I was […]

Home movies! ‘Ere, you’re not related to that Mr LaPage that Steely Dan sang about in “Everyone’s Gone To The Movies” are you? But yes, we seem to be on the same hymn sheet about a few things, including that […]

This was difficult. For example, having never heard Blackstar I have no idea if it is a ‘great album’ or not. In the end, I just went for what has given me the greatest pleasure over the last two decades, such […]

Even worse: the shop I go to stocks just three copies of Prog every month. I suspect the extra copy came from somebody who has a mail subscription and slipped their copy onto the pile when nobody was looking!

I have just bought the latest issue of “Prog” magazine because it’s got Genesis on the front cover. I don’t know why I did that! [Sits there going ‘wibble’.]

Thank you for all the hard work. The results and the way you ‘teased’ them out made a great read, and my mind just boggles at the maths involved in it all. I suspect the list of “most voted for albums” would […]

My father once saw a Led Zeppelin record I had (probably 2 and in the days when you carried them under your arm as a badge of taste) and declared that Ned Zeppelin was a stupid name for a group. Mind you, he […]

Good grief… that was fabulous! I can’t recall having ever heard it before but am grateful for having heard it now. Got any more as good as that?

Like Carl above, I used to make up mnemonics to help me with work things, especially if studying for something. The trouble is, not only do I not remember any of them, I don’t remember too much about work […]
