Playlist over the last week.

[Sara]

Had an early Scorpions and UFO phase recently. Preferred them to most of the nwobhm bands.

[The Subhuman]

Big into Eloy as well 80/81 - The Planets is still worth a listen

[The Subhuman]

I kind of grew out of British Heavy metal, Hair rock and bad AOR killed rock for me for a while. Tool and Soundgarden amongst others bought me back

[Sara]

It was thrash bands like Anthrax which kept it going for me, but I was more into the punk and post punk scene in the 80s.

[Mick Jones shoulder]

All good, Uli Roths electric sun in the early eighties whoa now that was something to behold. I went the way of sound garden Alice in Chains but always nice to return.
Infact I might go for some really early Yes, Rush Caravan as well
Cheers.

[The Subhuman]

Never really liked thrash at the time tbh.

Must be 20 years since I last played the Eloy, it has dated but I'm really enjoying it again. German prog but good

[Sara]

Never liked 'nu' metal, whatever that's supposed to be. Just one look at Fred Durst was enough. Quite like sludgecore.

[Mick Jones shoulder]

Bad Aor lol
SteelyDan The masters of that or yacht rock, love SteelyDan

[The Subhuman]

Early Rush and I always think of By Tor and the Snow Dog

[Mick Jones shoulder]

What about Sugar? Any takers

[Sara]

I might go for some really early Yes

Still listen to the Gates Of Delirium really loud in the dark quite often. I've been doing that since I was about fifteen. Never grow up!

[Sara]

What about Sugar? Any takers

Two please.

Bad Aor lol
SteelyDan The masters of that or yacht rock, love SteelyDan

But hate the term Yacht rock...West Coast (Eagles, Ronstadt, Bishop, Gold etc) is how I've always labelled the Dan, and I love that. AOR for me is Heart, Jefferson Starship, Survivor, Journey, Toto etc ...They have moment but it's mostly junk imo.. I do like Benatar though

[Sara]

Heart were good up until Dog And Butterfly.

Agreed but Fagan and Becker always employed top sessions men, go guys Toto, Michael Mcdonald, Larry Carlton Lee Ritenoir. But your correct.

agreed

[Mick Jones shoulder]

Nancy Wilson isn't bad in a band called Roadcase Royale with Liv Warfield one of Princes's cohorts.

[Sara]

Working through:

Neu - Neu 75
Ritchie Blackmore's Rainbow
Fleetwood Mac
Jeff Beck - Blow by Blow
Thin Lizzy - Fighting

[hector]

Kraftwerk Radio activity - I wonder if this is where Roger Waters got some ideas for the Wall from?
Jeff Beck blow by blow, this sounds like a guitarist in a local pub just sitting in a corner having a jam session

It actually does!

At least there's no lyrics though - I turned Rainbow off when it rhymed 'fire' with 'higher' one minute into the first song.
