It's too easy to get mist eyed about past times- there were great bands and singers in the 60's but c'mon, Cliff Richard, Herman's Hermits, every generation has cack bands and good bands.

1. The pogues and Kirsty Mc Coll
erm- that's it

Not arguing- IMO Bob's last Great albums were in done in the late 70's.
If, of late, he does deals wie starbucks -
Still that's more than 40 years after his best work.
Bob was totemic for us in the 60's.

Strange album- Harvest itself is fine- the sparse but effective needle and the damage done is first class but the Over orchestral "A man needs a maid"
Listening to Jacques Loussier jist now- suitable for a friday- the weans are away home and it's time to get the lab in order- a Wee bit o' Jacques helps.

An old bogger like me remembers early Bobby Z.
Masters of war, Only a pawn in their game, Who killed Davey Moore, Lonesome death of Hattie Carroll- the list goes on and on.
Dylan of course inherited the mantle of Woody Guthrie, who also gave stick wie a vengence.
Green Day? Must try and hear some of their stuff.

Ach it's all about opinions but Lemmster and the boys were, imo very influential in the formation of punk- I first saw them at strathclyde- I wis out o' uni by then in 1976- great band- was boozin in the bar before the gig when the great man walked in- slightly pished i went up bought him and the guys a pint and gfound them to be bluidy decent fellas.
Great gig
First ever motorhead gig

You talkin to me?
Probably.
Aye. I do know.
As used in Scots, 'ben' signifies
'in or toward the inner or better, or (vaguely)
another, apartment'
It used to be the goood room behind the kitchen or where the coos were kept...
From Middle English binne or
Old English binnan - both meaning 'within'.
To go on
and on
This might be where the Scots hills Binnein Beag and Binnein Mor got their names, tucked within the back of another more easily seen hills in Lochaber....
...to bring it back on topic!
Haw- I'm the etymological bore aroun' here.
Stop outsourcing ma job to Lahndan.

Ignore 'em Bill
Ludwig's ninth- totally fookin' transcendant
Mahler 8 is the one- though number 4 is lyrical and 3 makes me weep
Dvorak- naw, takes Sibelius five or six
Ludwig agin- naw- Gorecki No 3
Auld Tchaikovski- fine- but No 6 the last movement - like a knife in yer viscera.
