Mighty Rearranger - Robert Plant

Not my usual sort of thing.  Not Zeppelin.  Not bad.

I've got this too and foolishly believed the hype when released! Not bad sums it up perfectly, I think Plant's vocals actually spoil the record, a mellower, fuller vocalist would have been so much better.

Jazz. Mainly Miles and Mingus.
I think you'll find it's a bit more complicated than that.

I am sticking with my current trend, words written and sung by people who care about people. More Eric Bogle, Oysterband, Leon Rosselson....
Just in a phase of wanting to hear people sing who are people that can love.
Not too much to ask?

The rather marvellous "Blockheads", where Ian Dury anticipated chav culture by 25 years.

Quote
You must have seen parties of Blockheads
With blotched and lagered skin
Blockheads with food particles in their teeth
What a horrible state they're in

They've got womanly breasts under pale mauve vests
Shoes like dead pigs' noses
Cornflake packet jacket, catalogue trousers
A mouth what never closes

You must have seen Blockheads in raucous teams
Dressed up after work
Who screw their poor old Eileens
Get sloshed and go berserk

Rotary accessory watches
Hire-purchase signet rings
A beauty to the bully boys
No lonely vestige clings

Why bother at all about Blockheads?
Why shouldn't they do as they please?
You know if it came to a brainy game
You could baffle a Blockhead with ease

How would you like one puffing and blowing in your ear-hole?
Or pissing in your swimming pool?

Bigger brained Blockheads often acquire
Black and orange cars
Premature ejaculation drivers
Their soft-top's got roll-bars

'Fill her up,' they say to Blockheads
'Go on, stick it where it hurts'
Their shapeless haircuts don't enhance
Their ghastly patterned shirts

Why bother at all about Blockheads?
Superior as you are
You're thoughtful and kind with a well-stocked mind
A Blockhead can't think very far

Imagine finding one in your laundry basket
Banging nails in your big black dog


Why bother at all about Blockheads?
Why should you care what they do?
Cos after all is said and done
You're a Blockhead too
Hard work sometimes pays off in the end, but laziness ALWAYS pays off NOW.

Especial by Elis Regina. I can't believe I had never come across this wonderful Brazilian vocalist until my recent trip. This is an early album from 1968, sound quality is not the best, but it is so much fun. I came back with a stack of CDs of samba, bossa nova, forro and more.

I'm afraid not - to me, most Brazilian rock just sounds like good imitations of European and US stuff. Skank were the best of the bunch I heard, but not worth buying...

Really?!  :o

I personally don't think so...

and if you stretched to include Blues and Argentina in your selection I can give you at least one another name who is a superb musician but relatively unknown over here!

Yeah, sorry! Maybe it's just me, but once I got to Rio and the whole vibrant samba and forro street-music scene that still exists, I started to be a lot less interested in the rock stuff.
