Mongolian Metal - The Hu
Sometimes you've just got to blow a few cobwebs out of your head, and for me that will nearly always involve Quo. I love many various genres of music but for me sometimes, just sometimes nothing else fits my mood and I have to have a fix of Mr Rossi, Mr Parfitt and Co. I first heard Softer Ride as the B side of Paper Plane back in 72, and I nearly turned it off as it starts very quietly as an almost acoustic blues type of thing, but then after 57 seconds BANG, and it turns into a loud raunchy blues/rock pile-driver of a song (pun intended) that Quo do so very well.

I have been reading about Mick Ronson this morning and came across this

Lucky enough to see Mick Ronson with Bowie back in 73 at The Dome, this was Bowie's Aladdin Sane/Farewell to Ziggy Stardust tour and Mick Ronson was outstanding (Bowie was pretty good as well). Mick was a very talented musician who was also a writer, producer, and arranger as well, another one who died far too soon.

Part of a very good side 2 of Hello - Caroline/Softer Ride/And It's Better Now/Forty-Five Hundred Times
I've always adored this song, beautiful sounds from Vangelis.
Well this is weird, I hadn't heard this song broadcast for years, sitting in the car at Holmbush this afternoon waiting for Mrs BB when Steve Wright went and played it. It made me smile that I was listening to it on the channel that banned it 53 years ago!

Funny isn't it ,The Smiths were one of those bands I never really listened to or appreciated back in the day, but have grown to really like them over the last few years.
Back to the 80's again and Erasure were one of several bands from that era that I really loved. Ended up buying 4 albums and seeing them in '89 at The Brighton Centre, and they were fantastic. Complete stage show with scenery, special effects and lighting combined with one of the loudest sound systems I've ever experienced. Andy Bell has a terrific vocal range and Vince Clarke is a superb songwriter as he proved with Depeche Mode and Yazoo before Erasure.
Some swearing and bad feeling (No you aren't on the Brexit thread) - worth it though
