Have to say that I wondered where it's stored. Not in his flat, I assure you. Unless it's a Tardis.Leuth said:Sharing space with his synth collection may be an issue tbh

this band is incredible btw and well worth a listen for the uninitiated, if you fancy something a little more adventurous/incantatoryViewfinder said:

Well said, Leuth. I'd recommend the CD 'Live at the Paris Olympia', 1976. Saw them at the Roundhouse about that time; as a drummer myself I was totally blown away. Also saw them about 10 years ago at the Queen Elizabeth Hall; Christian Vander has slowed down a little, but not much. Music to stir the blood.Leuth said:

That's a bit harsh, don't you think? My problem is, they're all cover bands.Mortimerician said:

Hmmmm.......very, very difficult, just five!!
Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band (or anyone else he might play with)
Genesis (only when Peter Gabriel was with them!!!!)
The Pogues
Arcade Fire
Ziggy Stardust & The Spiders from Mars
It was absolutely agonising to neglect the following -
The Clash
The Sex Pistols
The Dubliners
The Clancy Brothers
The Moody Blues
Eddie & The Hot Rods
Pink Floyd
OMD
Peter Gabriel (Solo work)
Cat Stevens
The Cure
Lou Reed (and anyone else he might condescend to play with)
Bright Eyes
It was disappointing to omit the following -
David Grey
The Killers
The White Stripes
The Strawbs
Family
The Strokes
Paul Simon (and anyone else he might condescend to play with)
I'm still a groovy hep cat so the following outfits are worth a mention -
Arctic Monkeys (hardly unknown but enjoy tomorrow's concert boys)
Paul Thomas Saunders
Sun Kil Moon
Phosphorescence
Will probably all change tomorrow, when I'm a little more sober!

Here they are live in 2006. All their top stuff is here. Not in bad shape for a band which played live six months before the Beatles.Saga Lout said:

Love your 2nd choice - Golden Earring were/are great - Moontan, what a superb album!PragueAddick said:Bruce Hornsby
Golden Earring
The Verve/Richard Ashcroft
Bruce Springsteen
Sigur Ros

The older you get the harder it is. I've been trying for months to finish mapping out my life in music with You Tube clips, its bloody hard work.
Not that I am saying your other choices aren't worthy, it's just good to find another fan of an underrated band.

Saga - did you discover them by listening to the pirate radio RNI?

Ha! I refer you to the original poster Morts, "music band/group of 2 or more". Moreover, the Halle (for instance) are widely known as "the Halle Band".Mortimerician said:

No, to tell the truth, I loved Radar Love and a mate had Moontan, which I borrowed and illegally taped (as we all did in those days). The album version of RL is much better than the single version (as I bet you agree) - used to play it in a band and I played the solo note for note (took me a while to learn). Me and my mates really got into them. Saw them at a gig which was recorded and was broadcast on Capital Radio, which I also had on tape (!).PragueAddick said:

Big fan of RF - and also the books of Willie Vlautin. PB is another quality choice - love Americana and even a few Brits like PB do it well...addickson said:Richmond Fontaine
