Would have thought that someone else would have resurrected this subject by now. 

Currently listening to Stationary Traveller by Camel.

"dm How far back does that collection go? I played the Space Oddity album yesterday,some of the lyrics are insane (cygnet commitee esp.) Also,the real early stuff (world of David Bowie etc) show where his main influences lie. Western Stars. Springsteen."

David Bowie - Nothing Has Changed 2 CD compilation of the great man's material

Camel - Stationary Traveller

Crass - Best Before (compilation of Crass singles)

Deftones - Ohms

One hundred years - The Cure

Tim Blake - Tide of the Century

"The Good, the Bad and the Ugly - Ecstasy of Gold"

Japan - Tin Drum

Queen - This Could be Heaven

Kelly-Lee Owens

"Just listened to the other-wise bubblegum Jennifer Eccles. Calvert starts the song in standard thump, thump, thump style and ends up as lead instrument. I never realised until today how good he was. I'm in bass-player heaven."

I'm not saying Hicks was anything like EVH but he just played the simple chords extremely well. Another guitar player of that ilk was Paul Reynolds of A Flock of Seagulls

"Eric Haydock was decent, but Bernie Calvert is a fucking awesome bass-player - just listening to Can't Tell the Bottom From the Top and Sorry Suzanne. Like a cross between McCartney and Entwistle."

"Agreed, also Tony Hicks is very underrated as was Bobby Elliot"

"I'm listening to The Hollies 20 Golden Greats. They really could play and sing. Their own songs are consistently good (Carrie-Ann, Stop, Stop, Stop, On a Carousel, etc) and their choice of covers (The Air That I Breathe,Yes I Will, Just One Look, etc)is insanely good. Incidentally, they also did the best ever version of I Shall Be Released (not on the album). Very under-rated band."

ZZ Top - Legs

The Grand Wazoo - Frank Zappa

Fairies wear boots. Black Sabbath

The Lazys - Nothing but Trouble

Edward Dickhands - Punk is dead and I'm fucked up.

Bench Quartet - Pissing Up The Plumb Tree

Gladys Knight & The Pips - Midnight Train To Georgia

"only1billybonds 10:04 The River, top album mate. Bon Iver - Bon Iver"

"dm. It is, as is Trick of the Tail,I love the early/mid 70's version of Genesis. The River. Bruce Springsteen."
