"Motorcycle Emptiness" - Manic Street Preachers

One of the best guitar riffs ever, Surprisingly it was done on a telecaster not a Les Paul.

Nina Simone - "Little Girl Blue"

https://youtu.be/zTFhADgKxi0

Her first album. Listen to this for her fantastic piano playing as well as her voice. Lovely Bach inspired counterpoint.

Curtis Harding

Pukka soul with a bit of funk/disco and even a dash pop. Surprisingly good.

Steely Dan - assorted tracks

A marmite band. I like marmite. Great lyrics, great playing and fantastic obsessive production values.
They always make me think of 70s silver HiFi separates with glowing blue VU meters.

Iron Maiden, "Hallowed be thy name" played very loudly on a jukebox.

What Eurovision ?

Be-Bop Deluxe. Bill Nelson = the guitar hero you could like without losing any punk credentials you pretended to have.

Courtnet Barnett - Sometimes I Sit and Think, Sometimes I Just Sit.

Very reminiscent of L7/Elastica and the like of that era.

The final of the 500 words competition, the winner of the 5-9 age group when asked how she wanted Kenneth Brannagh to read her story...

"Well".

The Wedding Present - Bewitched.

One of the best "kerangs" in music when the guitars kick back in at 5 mins. Great bitter sweet lyrics too.

Leave No Star Unturned ~ Hawkwind. Live at the Cambridge Corn Exchange, January 1972, so likely one of Lemmy's first gigs.

Art Blakey - gulping down as much of his stiff as I can find on YouTube. I cant believe I had never really listened to him before. Amazing hard bop.

John Shuttleworth on ~~Mark and Lard~~ Radcliffe and Maconie.

Shall have to turn it off in a minute as I am laughing too much, especially the bit about Lady Gaggia...
