I do like the Lamb Lies Down on Broadway and The Carpet Crawlers is a highlight. Here's a few newer offerings:- The Temples (sounds like 60s psychedelia). Jonny Marr and Noel Gallagher are fans (and me too). [video=youtube_share;tUGEnXz4EG8]http://youtu.be/tUGEnXz4EG8[/video] Darwin Deez - first album was a bit patchy but the second album has been my most listened to of the last year. [video=youtube_share;smmErdX4N8c]http://youtu.be/smmErdX4N8c[/video] Lastly, a recent offering by Jason Lytle (frontman of Grandaddy if anyone remembers them). Quirky but instantly listenable (if you're me that is). [video=youtube_share;0N9A123g52U]http://youtu.be/0N9A123g52U[/video]
Joe Cocker can lift ordinary songs to untold heights, of course having Jimmy Page on guitar always helps.... [video=youtube;5UCxwAxB7Jc]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5UCxwAxB7Jc[/video]
Well, what can I say? You guys have got some seriously good taist in music. Thanks for sharing all your posts on this thread from a very happy UTR's! Keep up the good work!
Another early 70s band with a cult following, Budgie with 'Breadfan'... [video=youtube;54H3EUAzpVg]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=54H3EUAzpVg[/video] And here's a great clip from the 60's, Gun with 'Race for the Devil'... [video=youtube;hj716pc1fC0]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hj716pc1fC0[/video]
From the 80s, one of my favourite bands The Cult with Edie (Ciao Baby) from the brilliant 'Sonic Temple' album... [video=youtube;zpkVt9XTdtg]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zpkVt9XTdtg[/video] And from the same album 'Sweet Soul Sister'... [video=youtube;nNobN73F2JY]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nNobN73F2JY[/video]
And there's more, Rainbow with 'Stargazer', truly a rock epic... [video=youtube;x7JsMEsCFZs]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x7JsMEsCFZs[/video]
Rainbows version of Snowman is my prefered chill song. [video=youtube;_0Q1DR5grt0]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_0Q1DR5grt0[/video]
A favourite of mine since I heard them in a field in Belgium a few years ago. They get classed as post punk although I always think of the late 70s early 80s for that genre so perhaps they're something else? [video=youtube_share;mPiehSqBA-0]http://youtu.be/mPiehSqBA-0[/video]
This is an amateur video brilliantly edited to 'Hocus Pocus' by the Dutch band Focus. Some amateur videos look just that, but this is one of the best I've seen, the editing matches the music perfectly and this is one of the early 70s most avant-garde rock records...

Cheers Sooper, I love a bit of Focus. [video=youtube;g4ouPGGLI6Q]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g4ouPGGLI6Q[/video]
If anyone on here is a prog fan and don't have any Gentle Giant in their collection then shame on you. I fully recomend having a listen to this when you get a chance, I'm sure you will enjoy. [video=youtube;QROytquW2AQ]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QROytquW2AQ[/video]
A couple of my guilty pleasures - don't tell Stan, I'll never live it down!! [video=youtube;ufbexgPyeJQ]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ufbexgPyeJQ&feature=kp[/video] [video=youtube;au74rR9lIYQ]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=au74rR9lIYQ&feature=kp[/video]
Hey Roller, nothing wrong with Elton or Billy. I am going to post some billy when I get round to it. Come on Columbia!
Wow, is Keith still alive? If so he is one of very few from that era who is not a nonce! Sorry about any bad spelling!
