Surely he has made enough cash singing about our rights over the past 4 decades?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The music of this generation is every bit as good as the 60s & 70s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bud the Baker Posted October 14, 2005 Report Share Posted October 14, 2005 (edited) No mention of Chuck Berry, James Brown, Motown or Michael Jackson (altho' Quincy Jones got a namecheck). I'd also throw in Gil Scott-Heron even tho' his dad played for Celtic. Oh Yeah. I also meant to include Nile Rogers/Bernard Edwards of Chic.

Colin M Posted October 14, 2005 Report Share Posted October 14, 2005 60s: The Beatles, Brian Wilson/Beach Boys, James Brown, Velvet Underground, Phil Spector 197335[/snapback] No mention of Chuck Berry, James Brown, Motown or Michael Jackson (altho' Quincy Jones got a namecheck).

Howard Hughes in BlueSuedeShoes Posted October 14, 2005 Report Share Posted October 14, 2005 Oh Yeah. I also meant to include Nile Rogers/Bernard Edwards of Chic. 199889[/snapback] Fúckin' top notch shout. They were a great band that provided soul, funk and shit-hot guitaring all rolled in to one. They were highly influential in dance music and its development. Along with Giorgio Moroder & Kraftwerk they're top of that particular tree.

Great track all 12inches of Bernard Edwards thumping bass lines and Nile Rogers funky rhythm guitar. Rogers also was called in to produce a lot of top notch albums one of which was the excellent classic "Listen Like Thieves" by Inexs.
