.... if that makes sense.

I've always thought of Bryan Ferry and Roxy Music as crap lounge lizard shite, mainly as the "best ofs" are clogged full of the bands latter songs and his awful solo releases.

Today, on a whim, i bought "For Your Pleasure" at the car boot for just a quid.

WHAT A FECKING ALBUM!!

1973 but sounds totally fresh today.

edit - i guess it was the Brian Eno influence

Roxy - loved them from the moment I heard the opening chords of Virginia Plain

Entirely missed the point of the Smiths until I was dragged along by the missus to see Mozza live in the mid-1990s. Now love 'em.

Well OK, not actually a group, but....

Many years ago I wasn't very enthusiastic about Leonard Cohen being on the bill at the Isle of Wight Festival (it was a long time ago; Hendrix was there too!) - but his performance was spell-binding!

I really liked Noah and The Whale at first, they had a couple of good songs and a good style and sound. Trouble is, apart from the singles, everything else is absolute wrist-slitting dirge.

Take That, and in particular Gary Barlow. I spent most of my childhood thinking they were a fantastic band with a vast array of superb and iconic pop songs. They were my favourite band but perhaps no more than that. It's only in recent years that I've realised they actually meant a lot more to me. Now they're my world, the anthem to my life. Not a day goes past without Gary's explosive voice making love to my ear drums. Quite simply, they're life changing.
