Right, here's something a bit left-field for you all, it's Russian for starters. Get your chops around this ;-)

I might of had some stuff back in the 80's, but all my vinyl has long gone, and I've sometimes struggled to go back and find MP3's of stuff. Fair amount of stuff on youtube, I just checked!

Cool. I saw them supporting Joe Jackson around 79/80 and got their first album. Dunno if they did any more but it was a fine power pop outfit.

Meddle was always my fave Floyd album, And I was a big fan of the Manfreds in the 70s (Watch/Angel Station era), Joe Walsh and the Cars so kudos to the posters.

I always preferred late and solo era Deep Purple, which featured more songs, fewer riffs and Blackmore replacement, Tommy Bolin, who had also replaced Joe Walsh in the James Gang. Some people don't know he's the guitarist on that Billy Cobham sample on Massive Attack's Safe From Harm. Two great overlooked solo albums:

Even David Coverdale spent some time away from his groin obsession to prove he could write proper songs for a proper album, low sales of which forced him to get the white snake out again, which was a bloody great shame:

Glenn Hughes got all Stevie Wonder:

Paice Ashton Lord, the first band I ever saw live. Horns? Chick backing vox? That's not Purple! One great album and gone. Sometimes that's how it should be:

And while we're on a 70s tip, the band you'd hear more through the PA while waiting for a gig to start than any other band because everybody in the band and the crew loved the Feat. And what is not to love:

First band I ever saw - Jerry & The Pacemakers

First concert at the Philharmonic - Pink Floyd

Fist band at Liverpool Uni SU - Nice

As you all know the tunes of the other groups, here's Nice's most well known offering;

Guilty Pleasures

I don't feel guilty for liking good pop songs. I've had many arguments over the rock vs pop divide in this X Factor era. I think anybody who believes there's a difference has never tried to write a good pop song. The Beatles never lost sight of the fact that no matter how experimental you get, without a good hook you're got no song, you're just ****ing off and should be playing jazz.

Some songs that not only am I not ashamed to like but I'd be proud to have written them:

Written a fair few academic papers and some very very bad poetry but can't match that! (if there was a bow smiley I'd put it here)

Guilty secret - I still play The Nolans "I'm in The Mood For Dancing"
