I was good mates with the son of the landlord back in the mid to late seventies. The upstairs room was perfect for slide football in socks due to the polished wooden floor. Had lots of fun in that room belting a ball about. Good times.
I guess it was 65-66, wonderful times, City had a team to be proud of and the music scene was great, and we won the world cup It was out of the Duke into Trees on the corner.
Brother had this as a double LP bootleg in 77. When everyone else was out, used to put this track on crank the record player up to window rattling 11. Sorted me out for about 72 hours just this one track.. Ronno was great and Bowie owes him an immense amount, but post Spiders Bowie was just as enjoyable.
I see Bowie eating peas and gravy/veg stuff in this pic, not baked beans as part of a full English. I don't see them catching the red eye no way, (Could this be the inspiration or Station to Station?!?!)
Loved Bowie’s stuff from Hunky Dory to Aladdin Sane. Pin Ups was acceptable. After that I lost interest!
No mate, he's quite right. Has anyone on here even heard of an album by Lou Reed, 'Transformer' and the massive influence Ronson had on there?
And why wouldn't you? Satellite Of Love, Perfect Day and Vicious - three tracks as great today as they were in 1972
Transformer is a cracking record, no doubt, but for me, Bowie's best stuff came from 1976/77. The Spiders years were superb, just not his peak for me.
1000% agree. The Ziggy Stardust album was also his greatest piece of work. **** off with your later stuff Quill
I remember going to Charlton in 1974 and Lou Reed was an early turn. http://www.ukrockfestivals.com/charlton-1974.html
Diamond Dogs had a couple of decent tracks on it, but Young Americans and Station to Station were wishy-washy crap.
