Don't get me started....The Vapours...saw them twice...superb live band, first album flawless...minor UK hit with 'Jimmy Jones' from second (not very good) album 'Magnets'

I had the first two on vinyl and Candy-o on CD, but I just bought a good compilation with pretty well all their finest moments. Having said that, I think their first album is pretty well perfect in the sense that there's not a bad track and they move from song to song really well, one leading to the other in a way that Best of's and compilations never do. The musicianship is superb and Eliot Easton is a very underrated guitarist. I saw them live once but they weren't very good when I saw them, their voices definitely needed that 'studio touch' But...a cracking albums band, and well worth getting into. IMHO

Jeez, how rude do you have to get? Strawberry what? Well, I for one am

Named after a Vibrator's track I believe...so no sexual imagery there then.... (although I'm sure BF will put me right)

So...am I missing something? (GordblessWikipedia)

Touche...or maybe that should be douche...how do you do accents on this machine?

Wasn't his last divorce settlement one of the biggest in history...mucho$$$$$$$$$s

Am I missing something?

Definitely Queen's finest moment...I remember having to buy it because 7 Seas of Rye is introduced on Queen 1 but only lasts a few seconds and sounded awesome....Q2 did not disappoint. For anyone visiting London “Fairy Feller’s Master-Stroke†is a painting in the Tate by a Victorian artist called Richard Dadds who went crackers and murdered his father...it's an extraordiary painting and well worth a look. Q2 is their pinnacle in my opinion...downhill all the way from there (Sheer Heart Attack was good but unfortunately you could begin to see where they were heading into pompous glam rock...prior to that they were just inventively heavy) by A Day at the Races they'd completely lost it...IMHO But Q2 Thanks for the excellent review.

Same Old Lang Syne (Dan Fogelberg) Met my old lover in the grocery store, The snow was falling Christmas Eve. I stole behind her in the frozen foods, And I touched her on the sleeve. She didn't recognize the face at first, But then her eyes flew open wide. She went to hug me and she spilled her purse, And we laughed until we cried. We took her groceries to the checkout stand, The food was totalled up and bagged. We stood there lost in our embarrassment, As the conversation dragged. We went to have ourselves a drink or two, But couldn't find an open bar. We bought a six-pack at the liquor store, And we drank it in her car. We drank a toast to innocence, We drank a toast to now. And tried to reach beyond the emptiness, But neither one knew how. She said she'd married her an architect, Who kept her warm and safe and dry, She would have liked to say she loved the man, But she didn't like to lie. I said the years had been a friend to her, And that her eyes were still as blue. But in those eyes I wasn't sure if I saw, Doubt or gratitude. She said she saw me in the record stores, And that I must be doing well. I said the audience was heavenly, But the traveling was hell. We drank a toast to innocence, We drank a toast to now. And tried to reach beyond the emptiness, But neither one knew how. We drank a toast to innocence, We drank a toast to time. Reliving in our eloquence, Another 'auld lang syne'...... The beer was empty and our tongues were tired, And running out of things to say. She gave a kiss to me as I got out, And I watched her drive away. Just for a moment I was back at school, And felt that old familiar pain ......... And as I turned to make my way back home, The snow turned into rain ..............

I believe that the B-side was a song about cows. (That's true by-the-way)

Same Auld lang Syne...Dan Fogelberg...I think.

Fairly self explanatory...what stuff has you diving for the off-switch...you just can't bear to listen to it...?

Let us just say that I may be more than passingly acquainted with one or two of the band but it would not be fair or decorous of me to parlay that acquaintance into any sort of reflected glory. Sludge were less than the sum of their parts....and some of their parts were huge. For me their greatest moments still lie in the future.

Didn't Dean Friedman have a song called 'Ariel' during the 80's? Might be worth a hunt

This is one of the earliest songs I remember....very poignant

Hows about.... I took a goat and cut its throat it seemed a good idea at the time I let it dangle on my pentangle and now everything's gonna be just fine (Sludge) I only just wrote it, but it sounds like a classic in the making.

Yowser...me and the blind bloke whatsit agree on something Apart from the disdain for all things Gallagher...who, to be specific, are Manchester City fans (not all bad) as opposed to Manchester United fans (all bad...Hitler, Stalin, Pol Pot, Robbie Williams etc.) The Kaiser Chiefs are absolutely defintely named after the Sth African Team that gifted us the inestimable Lucas Radebe, whose testemonial must surely be happening soon. The Kaiser Chiefs recently trained with LUFC (Leeds United Foootball Club)...I've seen the photos

Axl Rose and the Undertaker (from WWF)....please stomp absolute ******* out of the talentless little pillock....puuuulease! Oh, er, and....to answer your question seriously....Coldplay and talent...that would have been one to watch

She sounded a lot like the goat I used to date at college, especially on the high notes Seriously though folks, there's a great deal of difference between 'beautiful' and 'sexy' and it's really hard to decide which you like best...Stevie Nicks does sound a bit sexy, but only in a muesli knitting, kind of crystal hugging reiki sort of way...she's a bit of a balm cake in real life (well, she was when I was going with her) You sort of know that she'd boil your bunny if she was on a downer and her star was in the wrong house. If a bloke seroiusly has to decide what sort of female voice he'd like to have he's got to choose between being the screwer or the screwed....not an easy choice for your average hot (or, indeed, tepid, blooded male)....me, I'd go for Judie Tzuke....but only because I fancied her rotten...then I could go screw myself, which, of course, is what you all want me to go and do right now

John Martyn Paul Rogers ...either would do
