Nothing unusual about your choices, Tommo! I'd agree with most of them - apart from Fripp + Eno . . .

Tangerine Dream! YES! Did you ever see the American show "Street Hawk" with a theme by them?

Now that takes me back. 16 years old and sitting in my bedroom with the lights out, headphones on, listening to Cherokee Lane. Once saw them live in Edinburgh. You could cut the atmosphere with a knife....... (if you know what I mean) Wink

Ah........

Just been rifling through my LP Collection, and have found some real old treats from my youth - Hooked On Classics Vols. 1-3.

I seem to remember Hooked on Romance doing it for me, although I am now too scared to even contemplate approaching the record player with such a piece fof vinyl.

Will any of you speak to me again......?

You've owned up before to being a bit of a headbanger A! Is this you by any chance?



One of my many guilty secrets is Kylie - Can't Get You Out Of My Head. I downloaded it as a free mp3 when you could still do such things and still have it. Must have a listen........

Unfortunately never seen Tangerine Dream live but have quite few albums (think favourite is Rubycon) -think there is a classical feel to much of their music imo

Though classical music is my 99% desire...I have musical pleasures elsewhere....with not a shred of guilt about it..

Duke Ellington
Al Stewart
Loudon Wainwright III ( and *not* his son Rufus !), will be at the Barbican to see Loudon April 21st
Leonard Cohen
Flanders and Swan
Fred Wedlock
Ivor Cutler
Ian Dury and the Blackheads

I do feel guilty though every time I admit to liking Gilbert & Sullivan...dunno why though...

I think we may have had a few too many of the 'cool whilst superficially pretending to be uncool' choices here Wink

Not guilty and not unusual, but probably 'specialist', British dance bands of the 1920's and 1930's, from ragtime/charleston/crooner/bigband.

Huge collection of records, and an important website if I say so myself  - >100,000 visitors so maybe not so specialist after all, well it took 10 years  Cheesy

Not quite me that Andy... put another 100 years on her and that would be a closer approximation!!

Headbanger? well erm... perhaps I was but without the headbanging though ( if you see what I mean !!!! )

Leonard Cohen yes another guilty pleasure - despite the rather downbeat mood -many of his songs kinda linger in memory.. Cool
