What are you currently listening to....

Only thing I was a bit disappointed with at their last Robin gig was John not being able to play the stuff that's my favourites, you could see he was struggling all through.
Time catches up with us all unfortunately, 76 years old and probably 60 of them playing rock n roll and living a rockers lifestyle is not gunna do much for your health.

Yeah definitely. I remember the FF reunion tours in 2013/14, he was giving everything in those and he looked absolutely fucked back then. He was always a massive drinker and it never really stopped until recently, he's just a shadow of himself these days. Alan was the worst though when I met them in 2013, he could barely move. Didn't let it stop him though, he never stopped talking and laughing, he was absolutely loving it.

Stereophonics, NEC, 1998.

Think I was at that one too.

Are you sure it was the Stereophonics, not Little Mix or anyone like that?

I'm currently listening to Spiders by Space. Haven't listened to this for years, very quirky and good.

Loved that album. Might have to dig that one out for a listen again

Disco Dolly by Space.

Tune....

 

[Tyrannosaurus Dan]

I must be in the minority again because I absolutely hated Space.

No mate, just Googled that 'Disco Dolly' and it's f#ckin awful

 

[Boozad]

Me and You Vs The World was a great tune.

I liked it because it was different from their usual sound.

 

[Paul]

To be fair I don't know what their usual sound is #stuckinmyways

 

[Dire Wolf]

Sad old twat that I am, I'm currently revisiting my Nick drake and Tim Buckley collections. Tim had one hell of a voice.

Also: Altogether Now by The Farm, Xmas song or not? I always consider it a Xmas tune because of what it's about and it was released on Nov 26th, which makes it a Xmas release.

If you think it is IMO, it becomes a de facto top 5 Xmas tune.

 

[The Bear]

No.

 

[Dire Wolf]

No.

Reasons?

100% a christmas song. The video makes it even more so.

 

[The Bear]

Reasons?

I dunno. I've never paid any attention to the lyrics other than the chorus, and never thought of it as a Christmas song. It gets played throughout the year on commercial radio so that disqualifies it for me.

It's an anti-war song but could be a Christmas song.

The video is definitely Christmasy

 

[Tony Towner]

Is the correct answer.
Ripped off the idea from Pipes of Peace, which ironically you do only here at Xmas

 

[BillyDee]

If Die Hard is a Christmas movie then Altogether Now is a Christmas song.
