I can't in all honesty vote NC on this one, although I'd admit to quite liking some of his drum'n'bass stuff on "Earthling", which is probably an equally niche opinion. To me the problem wasn't so much that he was trying to do metal, it's just that he'd already covered that territory so mu...

I'd have voted Not Crap on the basis of "Nuggets" alone. It was the ground zero in terms of multi-artist comps that weren't just promoting artists on a single label . Some of the single label samplers that came out in those days had enough good-to-great moments to be worth spending a few q...

John Mayall.

Don't really know a lot about his music other than that so many future stars seemed to have cut their teeth playing with the Bluesbreakers (as with Alexis Korner's Blues Incorporated), but I did learn from reading the obituaries that we shared a birthday.

Gramsci, I kind of agree with what both yourself and curry pervert are saying, despite the fact that you're arguing separate points. A Starmer-helmed Labour Party will be 5 % socialist, 60,% neo-liberalist and 35% Tory-Lite. But I'm trying to be at least cautiously hopeful that we've already hit ro...

If we look back in a year and my posts have aged like milk, I'll be delighted to be wrong. But some of their actions- the racism, the bullying, the purges it's not just that I find it unforgivable, it makes me fear how they will act with real power. 'When someone shows you who they are...' all that...

You'll certainly get no argument from me on that score. Morally bankrupt serial womaniser (and impregnator) who was so publicity-hungry he impersonated a cat on "Celebrity Big Brother".

I was just sitting here thinking how Steve is dead and Trump is alive. What a bunch of bullshit. The thought occurred to me as well, but I've thought that before. Everyone deserves to outlive Donald Trump. To exist outside of his timeline. And only last night we were talking about beautiful people ...

Being a 70s child I have a certain sentimental attachment to Abba.- Even if judged objectively I think they had at least enough good songs - including a few great ones - to justify owning a compilation by, which is more than I can say for any other Eurovision winner. N/C.

Heard the news last night, and - like everyone else on the thread - it's been playing on my mind. Some thoughts... Unlike many on here, I never interacted with Steve personally. I did see all three of the bands he fronted (in the case of Shellac, five times). Would have loved to record at EA if the ...
