nope - would love to but i will be in paris sweetie... B)

Butteflybairn - I dont want to piss you off, but I have a vision of a very foxy lady. We could be compatible. Do you fancy an "E" relationship?

My photay is on my profile.

I did my once a month plunge on a new band today ( at least new for an auld codger ). Bought the Zutons ( on the recommendation of my 10 year old ).

I have been pleasantly surprised. Its damned good. Completely ripping of a few late 60's early 70's bands ( the guitarist seems to have a bit of a Jimmy Page thing about him ) - but if you are ripping of decent band, you 're bound to sound ok yourself.

If you've got a spare tenner you could do a lot worse.

Rachel Hunter.................Sorry , can't see what the attraction is!

I know you are one of P&B's fellow seniors - but I reckon you could benefit a lot from a quick visit to Specsavers. After years of asking old ladies what number was on the front of the approaching bus, it made a huge difference to my life.

[What Are You Listening To?]

I heard a remix of it in the Arches a few years

Were phil & jamie around at that time?

[What Are You Listening To?]

That has to be a Strongbow-influenced imaginery piece of p1sh

Well spotted.............but it means about as much to me as some of the others named on this thread.

Illegitimate Donkey - My life is a camel.

[What Are You Listening To?]

Now that is fukcing shite!!!!

[What Are You Listening To?]

Aye OK, but you get my point.

99.9% of all music is ripped off.

And as you say sometimes the "real" artists do not get the credit they deserve, like your point with Hank Williams.

Today in my car CD changer I have

The Specials - Stereo-Typical - Volume 1

Bob Marley - Legend

Roger Taylor - Fun In Space

Monty Python - Monty Python Sings

Rage Against The Machine - Rage Against The Machine

The Beatles - One

Now thats diverse and not tunnel visionist

And at the moment I am listening to Faith No More - Easy! B)

Bairnagain - I have JrGong ( aka Damien Marley ) in mine at the moment. I know that Bob has dozens of offspring who have attempted to make it on the back of his good name. But Jr Gong has gone the other way, by trying to make it on his own under a nom de plume - and its like listening to the man himself reincarnate.

[What Are You Listening To?]

Bloody Hell, P&B are you even older than me?

I thought I had the "Oldest Poster" title wrapped up!

Back to topic - Give me Hope Jo'anna - Eddy Grant!

I wasn't around in the 40's, or even ths 50's for that matter. I just have a diverse taste in music. I current have Jr Gong, Joss Stone, Burt Bacharach, Rory Gallagher, FLC & Syds Floyd on the CD changer.

I'm not into following genres. If I like it - I like it.

BTW - If you have the oldest poster wrapped up, is that a self portrait on the avatar?

[What Are You Listening To?]

I agree, the only original artists have been Bill Hayley, The Beatles (maybe The Stones), The Kinks, The Sex Pistols, Spandau Ballet and Oasis. The rest have all been rip off merchants

(pulls pin out of grenade and disappears quickly)

What about Hank Williams?

If you listen to Rock Around The Clock, the riff is a straight rip off of a Hank Williams track ( Move It On Over ) which I think was written in the mid forties.

[What Are You Listening To?]

is there nothing original around?

Nope!

Why work on a new sound when you can rip of or sample

[What Are You Listening To?]

Cowboy Mouth - Life as a Dog........................class!

[What Are You Listening To?]

Just invested in the new Stranglers album. The guys are back on form.......at last.

[What Are You Listening To?]

The Best of T-Rex

Good call.

Now where did I put it?

[What Are You Listening To?]

not as good as The Madcap Laughs by Syd Barrett

An Effervessing Elephant With tiny eyes and great big trunk

once whispered to the tiny ear, the ear of one in fear you hear

that by next June he'd die

Oh Yeh!

And the tiger would roam the little one said

"Oh my goodness I must stay at home!

And every time I hear a growl,

I'll know the tiger's on the prowl

And I'll be really safe, you know, the elephant, he told me so."

Everyone was nervous,

Oh yeah!

And the message was spread

to zebra, mongoose and the dirty hippopotamus

who wallowed in the mud and chewed his spicy hippo-plankton food

and tended to ignore the word referring to a survey I heard

of stupid water bison

Oh yeah!

And all the jungle took fright and ran around for all the day and the night, But all in vain because, you see, the tiger came and said,

"Who me? You know I wouldn't hurt not one of you

I much prefer something to chew, and you're all too scant."

Oh yeah! ................

He ate the elephant!!

[What Are You Listening To?]

I've been a Floyd afficionado for many moons now - I just love it all, especially the weirder pre-Dark Side stuff.

You cant beat Syds' Floyd.

[What Are You Listening To?]

- what a fud

I've looked over the sleeve notes several times now - but I still cannae see that.

[What Are You Listening To?]

I'll probably get slated for this but...............

Katie Melua

I'm just about to go through a box of tissues while I read the sleeve notes.

[What Are You Listening To?]

Dirty Dancing soundtrack!

.....and you freely admit to it.

[What Are You Listening To?]

An OLD tape of Rory Gallagher..If anyone can recall!!

Coincidence or what? Listening to Live Taste. The Same Old Story.

I have to confess that I sold out a couple of years ago & "upgraded" my vinyl to CD.
