Scroat ....once Rod strutted round the stage in leopard skin lycra, begging the question....'Do Ya Think I'm Sexy'...it was all downhill from then on
Saw The Faces on BBC Guitar Heroes recently...no finer R&B band ever. They must have been top-draw live.
Rod's a prostitute
Button...surely it was Ron & Reggie who did it Gangam Style.Posted 5 months ago # -

So I'm not telling.Posted 5 months ago # -

The greatest, most underrated band of all time in my opinion, and possibly right up your ally, though due to illness they haven't released anything in a while.

offlineMemberGlad you like the Cardiacs tune - seriously, there's several lifetimes worth of wonderment to be found in their back catalogue (only on itunes unfortunately - cds out of print and going for bonkers money on ebay). If you want some mp3s give us a shout, I'm happy to spread the word.

My gift to you all: Big Big Train - English Electric Part I is this year's release, but The Underfall Yard is a delicacy... Some of the best modern proggy music out there for me. Long, developed tracks with orchestral moments, jazzy rhythms and drumming and full vocal harmonies. Some crazy indulgent solos too of course. But nicely interspersed with melodic gems.
