Really enjoyed the christie MCvie fleetwood mac documentary

Happy I saw them live in 2015 and not the current up although the 2 new guys sound good but Buckingham is Fleetwood mac to me

The 2 guys they got the first time Lindsey left were smug as hell

Europe must have cleaned up from Sports Stadium using that as their music for most of the 80s and into the 90s.

That's a rare good use of the licence fee .

Primal Scream...never have a band owed so much to a producer. Just my opinion of course.

It think it might be an homage to the classic Liverpool away jersey from a few years earlier, as modelled here by Ian Rush

C’mon Mike, check my oil and change the break pads while you’re at it.

Punk at the BBC on BBC 4 now

Harry Palmr

Dr Feelgood and Eddie and the Hot Hods are not punk, they are proto-punk Pub Rock but that term is so devalued by actual "pub rock" that no one uses it. They were r 'n b when that term still had some sort of meaning.

Welsh Megaman

Aw no...


Neil Peart of Rush has died.
