When growing up, if I was looking a bit peaky, Mum would make liver & bacon (“done in the oven”) I’ve mentioned this to several people recently, all replying “oooh! I used to love that”

I was going to comment on this earlier – as it’s how I play.
I learnt on my brother’s right handed guitar & when I got a bass, my band mates said if I didn’t restring it, they could play it too.
From then, I got […]

Posties tend to wear shorts in all weathers because wet legs dry off fairly quickly & are preferable to wet trousers.
The postmen in Braintree put in a “sub” to wear shorts every winter & nominate a charity – who […]

I read that someone working with Mick Ronson in his later years told him they’d heard “Walk on the Wild Side” on the radio that morning. “Another fifty quid for you!” Ronno sighed and said “I wish”

Lindsey Buckingham had a heart attack & open heart surgery back in February. The intubation affected his voice & it’s doubtful if he’ll be able to sing again.
He did accompany his daughter, playing guitar, at her […]

The Bond lawyers have always been vigilant. With Carry on Spying, they said no to Charles Hawtrey being called Charlie Bond – code number 001 & 1/2. Instead he was Charlie Bind. Code number “Oh, Oh, Ohhh”

Michael & Mickey in the Monkees.

Thank you, that was great.
I particularly liked the question asked of whether the Miners strike was for economic or environmental reasons. It’s a different world now!

It’s the old saying “God looks out for little children…and drunks”

Nick Mason is one of the backers for the Bolton Wanderers rescue. So he needs the money

You’ve done a great job. Have a rest & listen to some music…Maybe someone can suggest some good albums!

You’ve already got the base/grand total of votes, so either count up or excel how many titles there are in each year.
Then add these to the list – along with the year, then we can argue until the end of year poll.

What might be quite informative would be to add to the above list, the base and how many albums were nominated. eg Kind of Blue gained 13 nods, but only 20 people voted, and only 5 albums were suggested.
Earlier […]

I think it’s quite interesting that taken just on the numbers, the “usual suspects” have proven to be the most popular.
This was a free choice, amongst a group of music savvy listeners, to choose their favou […]

And isn’t it a shame that this was the last thing The Faces did.

Well done! Great job! A nice memory jog for albums I haven’t listened to in ages.
For anyone who asks why their favourite wasn’t there – you should have voted!

“You’ve listed Stravinky’s The Rite of Spring as 1914, but it was first performed as a ballet in 1913”

I agree entirely! Favourite albums at the time, or have been played most over the years.
A mix of nostalgia & long term enjoyment. The results are just an indication of where tastes coincide.

I remember them being on some afternoon pop show & wagging their finger at the camera, telling us “don’t knock…” That was the only time I ever heard the song.

Here’s a bit more info on them

I’ve been looking for an excuse to post this for ages. From his “Sinatra meets Bowie” show, the Jeff Duff band & Rebel Rebel – He’s come a long way from “Give me back me brain”
