Oh, and if anyone is interested, I’m selling t-shirts I’ve designed for my band; all the info can be found here:

Further to this, I should say that a portion ($5) of the sale of each shirt goes to the buyers choice of either Cancer Research or MND Research.

Have only just started watching 'Slow Horses' (excellent TV Drama) and this is the theme tune to the show

At first I thought the song might have been from the 60's but Mick Jagger wrote the song recently with Daniel Pemberton

Bob Spencer (The Angels and Skyhooks).

One of the good guys...

I think this might be a safe forum for a while.

Sorry not to have checked in recently.

I just watched some of Coachella on YouTube...

I'm not a fan of big shows, would rather more intimate affairs.

However, Benson Boon (never heard of him before) was impressive.

It was a massive performance/show, only caught the last few songs but the penultimate was 'Bohemian Rhapsody' (not really a Queen fan either). He covered. the vocal & theatrics beautifully, big choir onstage, was wondering how the guitar player was going to cover May's parts (she could play by the way) then May elevates up through the stage...

Impressive...

I haven't been through the previous pages, so apologies if it's been posted already.

Win lose or draw, I may have to indulge in a few tasty beverages. Here's hoping for a win.

Go Dees!

Here's a couple of tracks from the classic album by Fleetwood Mac (Rumours)

Firstly, one of the better opening tracks and a real party starter (back in the day!)

Followed by another track that is now used by the BBC as an introduction to their F1 coverage

I’ve got to say that Fleetwood Mac pretty much died for me from the moment that Peter Green exited. They became a very good MOR band, but for me had none of the excitement and originality in their music, that the original band had.

@hardtack

4 to 5 years can make such a difference with regards to what we appreciate in a band. For instance, I loved (and still love) a lot of the music from the early 60's to the early 70's but primarily the hits from that time

I was too young to be into alternative bands or even progressive rock from that time. Just the hits

So the first music from Fleetwood Mac that I got into was the Rumours album. I'd heard of them of course but didn't know a lot about their earlier music

I remember years ago we had a similar conversation about Steely Dan ... you were into their early music whilst I got on board with Aja & The Royal Scam in the mid 70's

So here's a couple from Steely Dan from their early days

Yes, I can see where you’re coming from as Rumours was the biggest album in the year it was released, and is probably the beginning of the band’s popularity with people who had had little to no exposure to the original band.

I don’t object to the album, but it just doesn’t do it for me like the original band with Peter Green, who I consider to be one of the greatest blues/rock guitarists to walk this earth 😉

It’d be pretty boring if we all had the same taste.
