now ploughing my way through 4 drawers full of cassettes [remember them?] Daiesy, you weren’t even born when I started my cassette collection! Just got through Big Country, currently on The Strawbs and just about to start on The Holy Bible….think we should be allowed 15 for every 25 years…and it’s making me feel sooo old……
Just flicking through, I think that we all deserve some sort of kudos for our eclectic and discerning taste in music.
I’m thinking through my picks and the question is more what to leave out rather than what to include.
not only am I having to listen to all of my old stuff, but I’m having to check out other peoples….halfway through Neil Young’s Harvest Moon at the moment…realized today that my love of Big Country led on to Runrig and then Franz Ferdinand, and how amazing the rhythm section is in Scottish bands…
Etta James – I’d Rather Go Blind
And Ride a White Swan
Not a bad list Drone…but I always prefered Rod’s Rather go Blind. Very non purist i know
Loved T Rex. Metal Guru was my first ever single. And still sounds good

I always liked Deborah by T-Rex and also wasn’t Mr Bolan in John’s Children who recorded the fantastic Desdemona ?

Yep, a good soaraway song and cracking single material
T Rex tended to be dismissed as a ‘teenybop’ band by the cognoscenti back then, purely because they evolved from the ‘right on’ folky, mystical, hippy backwaters (good though the Tyrannosaurus Rex incarnation was), sold a lot of records and had hordes of screaming girls following in their wake. But time has been kind and Marc Bolan is now generally recognised as a songwriter of some repute.
Their LP ‘Electric Warrior’ was damn good as well, infact I think I’ll give it a spin
